Tea break
Something different grabs my attention almost every day. I’m inspired by the people I meet, the things I do and the places I visit. Family, friends and colleagues are important to me. What motivates you? My zest for life, HR practices and recruitment trends, my garden and passion for baking all influence how I work. I’ve bundled up some of my thoughts and ideas into a few different collections.
So why not make yourself a drink, download my latest story and think about what you want to change? Go on, let yourself go and think crazy or outrageous. It’s how change happens.

Shared insight
I’m curious, courageous and creative, although I’m never going to be a fashion influencer or an investment angel.

Eat more greens and learn to love kale
I’ve had a few Bridget Jones moments recently and one of them was when I reminded myself that Bridget Jones Diary was first published in the Independent 24 years ago. And then the following year we all rushed to buy the book.

Confident, capable and colourful ... that's me
I love colour and what it says about my personality. I absolutely recognize the need to conform, although I want to feel good about my appearance at work. It’s a long time since I’ve worn the obligatory …
Let’s take a break – latte or laughter?
I was thinking about content for my web site and wanted to somehow incorporate the notion of conversation, perhaps even a natter. One thing led to another and …
