I’m a Partner working in our Leadership Consulting team. I advise C-suite executives to make better people decisions using insights and data to achieve their desired business outcomes.
- What experience and expertise do you bring to your role?
-
I work with executives in the Energy & Natural Resources, Utilities and Manufacturing sectors, with clients who are undergoing large-scale transformation.
- How are you helping people to achieve their full potential?
-
By providing executives and their teams with more talent data, development takes place in a targeted, structured manner, allowing leaders to have a greater impact in their roles quicker.
If the leaders in an organisation are collectively developing in the right areas, we have found this leads to measurable improvements to organisational performance.
- What are your thoughts on the future of your sector?
-
Productivity is becomingly an increasingly important question for lots of the leaders I work with (“how do I do more with less”).
Equally, companies in the sectors I operate within are undergoing major change as they move towards a carbon zero future. Here questions centre on how the C-suite can find, organise, upskill and retain the right talent to ‘keep the lights on’, whilst simultaneously pivoting towards a more sustainable future.
- What do you enjoy outside of work? Any hobbies?
-
Reading, watching sports (any) and I’m currently trying to learn German – very slowly…
- What’s your go-to productivity trick?
-
Trying to tackle the hardest things in my day first and turning off notifications when I’m trying to concentrate – I learned this trick from Johann Hari’s ‘Stolen Focus’.
- How do you prefer to start your day?
-
With lots of coffee.
- What was your first job?
-
A ‘Mixologist’ in a provincial Midland’s cocktail bar.
- What’s the best advice you were ever given?
-
Invest in Yourself.
