My "old" life was "ok", but I always suspected there might be more out there for me 

Then I got made redundant.... 

After the initial panic, I decided to use this as an opportunity to do what I'd never really done before: 
- find out what I actually wanted from life 
- get myself the support to help me 
- and CHANGE my life 
And I can honestly say I have never looked back! 

Now I want to support as many people as possible to live the life they love, now - however that looks for you at work, at home, and for life as a whole. 

There are various ways I can support you, including 1 to 1 or small group coaching
- Kickstart your change - a 4 week programme to get you taking empowered action 
- A little shot of confidence - a 4 week programme where you'll walk away knowing you are amazing! 
- Get your ideal role - a 4-6 week programme preparing you for your ideal role 
- CHANGE - a 3 month transformation programme taking you from where you are to loving your whole life 

I also run masterclasses, past subjects have included: confidence, creating change, managing conflict, working with different personality types 

I work with both individuals and organisations too, for more information DM me!  

I am passionate about equity - not just everyone having the same opportunities, but having flexibility around what we each need to be able to do our best at what we chose.

And I'm passionate about everyone living the life they love now - no more waiting - so if you're ready then reach out to me now!

Alamy

I joined Alamy as a start up when it had only 35 employees in the UK, I helped it grow to a global size of 190, with offices in India, New York, and Brisbane.  The HR team also grew in the last year  to a team of 2.  
During this time I supported all aspects of the employment lifecycle, to achieve this I had to adapt and learn along the way.  Some of the projects I worked on were:
* To recruit a new role, Australia Country Manager, this involved: defining the requirements of the role with key stakeholders, sourcing and briefing an Australian agency, negotiating terms within budget, screening and interviewing to present final candidates to the CEO. 
* GDPR - representing HR on the Company project team to ensure compliance of the HR function, identifying priorities, communicating and implementing change, updating and writing new policies e.g. Employee & Candidate Privacy Policy
* Mental Health Awareness: sourcing and providing by a third party trainer (Restore) to all line managers and staff, with the aim to raise awareness and increase early intervention of mental health issues.
* Redesigning the employee bonus scheme: creating a structure that recognises and rewards good                 performance.
* Opening the US and Australia offices: recruiting, understanding local laws, benefits, and policies.  Sourcing and inducting staff and liaising with local managers about HR issues and initiatives.
* Implementing a ‘self service’ HR system in the UK.
* Sourcing and implementing a professional employer organisation (PEO) in the US: to manage and provide competitive healthcare and other benefits to staff.
* Restructuring of the US Customer Service team.
* Redundancy programme.    

In addition to these projects I also managed the day to day operational aspects of HR, which included supporting and advising line managers with recruitment, performance management, absence and ill health issues, whilst developing them to become better people managers.
