Development and Support of TAB Business Owners as part of the TAB UK Executive Team. Starting out in training and operations, I love systems and process - especially when they work brilliantly for people! Working closely with business leaders across the UK my key responsibilities are collating, creating and embedding best practice - specifically related to facilitating board meetings, executive coaching and business planning. As part of this role, I help new and existing facilitators to learn the right skills, have the best mindset and do the activities that will deliver results in their launch and ongoing development of their business. If you ask my colleagues, they’d probably say: - “Rena’s great at coming up with innovative ideas to train – making it engaging, fun and at times a bit wacky.”- “Rena loves questions – ask her anything and she’ll hold out telling you the answers as long as possible – this annoyed me at first, but it’s really upp’d my questioning skills too – now it’s a fun game we play and I always leave with great options for my original challenge.”- “She had a great eye for visual detail – if I ask her to look at a graphic, she can pick out the wrong size font, “missepllings” and mis-aligned graphics really quickly. Really helps to have her check visuals before we send them to print.”- “Rena absolutely cares about helping people have better lives – she focusses on the personal side of business really well and isn’t afraid of asking the tough questions to make sure people feel comfortable being honest and know someone cares about them and their business.”- “She’s great fun to work with!”
