My work involves several key areas: - Data-led Strategy: Using data and listening to identify "hot spots" in Technology & Transformation (T&T) and building an approach for sustainable performance on projects. I have developed a sustainable performance toolkit for project leaders to build high performing, resilient teams which don't burnout. - Wellbeing as a Skill: Positioning wellbeing as a necessary skill, ensuring our model of wellbeing pulls in the same direction as individual and commercial performance. I am helping to incorporate it into objective setting and performance management - Wellbeing by Design: Advocating for wellbeing to be an integral outcome of working practices, including developing a "Wellbeing-by-design operating model" and tools for project delivery. - Flourish Wellbeing & Inclusion Events Programme: Co-leading T&T wide events for Flourish, which covers themes like women's health, harnessing stress, digital habits and radical candour for teams. - Coaching & Mentoring: Supporting individuals (mainly women) to build skills in boundary setting, energy management and confidence. I also coach teams on building high-performing habits

In this role I help turn the firm’s People & Purpose strategy into a programme of practical activities to empower individuals to thrive

I joined Deloitte in September 2017 as a graduate analyst in Technology Consulting, specifically within Delivery in Systems Engineering. I worked on a large-scale technology enabled change programme in the Financial Services sector, project managed the delivery of a Deloitte digital service within the Health sector, was part of the project management team in a large scale programme in the retail space and then in a business analysis role on a large public sector engagement. Alongside client work I was always very passionate about the importance of people looking after their well-being and I ran community self esteem workshops within my business area and also ‘paint along’ sessions with a client group

WhiteHat/Multiverse was founded to address the lack of high-quality, career-focused apprenticeships on offer for ambitious young people. My role was to identify and target potential corporate clients, consult with them on their resource challenges, advise them on their options, design a suitable apprenticeship programme (Whitehat/Multiverse has partnerships with training providers and also provides apprentices) and then manage the account.

XMCS is a channel through which organisations access the vast talents of the country's independent management consultants, interims and specialised niche consulting firms. My role in this management consultancy progressed from initially (during the internships below) supporting the practice manager in the day-to-day running of the business to working with the Directors and Partners on major bids (including producing high-quality collateral and reviewing, drafting and aligning contracts) to working on major client projects such as the development of strategy for a large law firm, the design of a new pan-government shared service and the planning of major programmes. I also contributed ideas in operational and strategic meetings on the positioning and branding of the company.

In summer 2013 I established a small operation, marketing and selling premium organic and ethical personal care products through Neal’s Yard Remedy’s direct selling scheme.

For this City law firm I: • Worked with partners and a managing partner as well as staff to review legal cases and contracts in commercial law, property law and litigation (developed understanding of contracts and B2B relationships). • Prepared analyses for court cases (developed negotiating skills). • Attended a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice, London (developed awareness of rhetoric and persuasion).

In both of these internships (2011 and 2012) I: • Supported the practice manager in the day-to-day running of the business, often under high pressure (developed administrative management and financial management skills). • Supported the directors in business development activities such as major bids for large consultancy contracts, including liaising with clients and consultants; writing proposal material and presentations; reviewing, drafting and aligning contracts (developed B2B sales, presentational and relationship management skills). • Contributed in operational and strategic meetings with Directors and Partners (developed ability to work with senior people).
