A people manager in the not for profit sector with experience of managing a large team. I am an experienced team leader, who motivates staff to perform and maximise their potential within a team, ensuring staff meet and exceed performance standards on day to day basis. I love empowering team members to take their ideas forward and try new things. Mistakes are a learning opportunity and opens doors for finding better ways of doing things. I successfully juggle work and being a mum to two very lively children, one of whom has Type 1 diabetes. Being a parent has enhanced my skillset no end, resilience, flexibility, adaptability, time management to name but a few. Whilst pregnant with my second child my eldest was diagnosed with Type 1. This was a life changing diagnosis and I had to get to grips with this condition super fast before my youngest was born. I can now add diabetes technician to my skills; I monitor sugar levels, perform cannula changes, watch sugar level patterns and adjust insulin requirements accordingly. I'm a walking carbohydrate counter!I'm a pragmatist and always looking at situations and reflecting on what can be changed and improved next time. I love all things agile, thanks to an amazing teacher and am constantly looking at ways to be more agile.Here's a bit more about me: https://anchor.fm/theactivelistener/episodes/Learning-from-lifes-circumstances-e1fn94k
