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.

Reality or virtual reality?
Another great conversation and suddenly I find myself talking about how young people will get to experience different professions or occupations before making their final career choices this year.
You. Organised.
Taking candidate experience to the next level is something we can all do, whether that’s as organisations, business leaders or individuals. I’m including job seekers as well as employers and their recruitment partners.
