  Two facts. 1. When you live too much in your head, your body gets sick. 2. Nothing beats a retreat for creating space to reconnect with what's important. I LOVE a retreat, but all that (often expensive) zen would last as only long as it took me to check my messages. I wanted to create a retreat that was more than a sticking plaster. Willow retreats aren't for patching you up so you can last a little longer in the arena. We're teaching you new skills for when you're back in there. Two facts. 1.

  I am part of the Delivery Leadership Team (software, not takeaway), the cultural integration of over 2000 tech professionals during a £7bn merger and $7bn acquisition.Because culture eats strategy for breakfast, and this team was hungry. This role would have been much easier if we weren't all stuck at home.As part of my broad remit, I am responsible for onboarding new members of the executive team. In just one year, I onboarded one CTO, two CPO, one Director of Product, and a SVP of Delivery supporting M&A activity. Show less

  Still figuring out complicated change and making it sound simple, but now the change was really complicated, and the people I was explaining it to wanted the story to be really simple... like REALLY simple. Busy and important people. The kind of people who say "One slide. Make me one slide." and then when you give them the slide ask you to tell them what it says.



BA Plus Ltd.

• Consultant Business Analyst

  • Jan 2016 - May 2018

  Contracting! I will be a free spirit solving interesting problems for worthy projects, like Lassie but with change management. In the end, my contracts got renewed so often that I only ever had two clients. Transport for London wanted to consolidate its intranets into one intranet. B&Q wanted a sexy app that protected people from their legacy warehousing systems. I learned that no matter what you want to build the most important thing to change is people's minds. If you can do that you can do anything. Show less

  London baby! and not just any London. Canary Wharf. Lvl 25 of 1CP. That's where business happens. I created the Balanced Scorecard for the COO. Having learned from the last project this was 100% PowerPoint. I learned how to interpret the reports and write commentary for every Corporate Banking team. I learned that many teams don't enjoy having someone in the COO office understand their reports. London baby! and not just any London. Canary Wharf. Lvl 25 of 1CP. That's where business happens.

My role was to try and get the manual process to meet the requirements for the digital platform - Yes, I understand that this is the wrong way around.

  Farming spreadsheets for an outsourced contact centre. Basically, I was looking for a job where I didn't have over-rated guitarists shout at me for their free beer being the wrong temperature. I would have taken any job, and this was it. Farming spreadsheets for an outsourced contact centre.
