As its founder, I think it is helpful to know that my HR career has spanned more than 20 years.
I have also had the pleasure of working for many industry sectors in a number of team or stand alone roles. I have partnered business leaders and other senior functional leaders.
Finally, I have delivered on many projects ,initiatives, workshops, training programmes and organisational change.
I set up my consultancy after taking a break to support and be closer to my family.
I chose the company name because I use the phrase all of the time - if you get that balance of business need, employee need and the structure that sits behind it all aligned - things work well.
Choosing the image of the delicate leaf and water drop hopefully sums up that perfect balance!
I really enjoy meeting new people and am very solution driven. There is always an answer out there, we just have to find it!
I like to work with people who understand the importance of how human resource services can help their business.
The relationship is key as I really want to get to know you and your business and help in the most effective way I can.
I am also a firm believer that most solutions can be delivered as positively as possible and that reviewing and supporting the strategic wellbeing of employees hugely helps output and engagement.
