Passionate about learning, change, and achieving impact - I've worked in and across the public, private & not-for-profit sectors, and helped to define and make change.Like most, I thrive when working towards a vision that makes sense. By engaging with people who will benefit, listening to their stories and helping determine a way forward.So I've been lucky to be able to provide leadership to get things moving. And I've been there when the walls are falling-in. I’ve held the line, when it needs holding.Sure - I've made mistakes. But I've learnt what I'm good at, and what I'm not! I've worked with some great teams, helped build some pretty impressive projects, and helped to educate & develop people, and improve organisations.My passion is finding a way to help a person, or an organisation achieve their potential. To remove barriers to their progress. To let them shine. The evidence includes:Leading training of 225 new staff to take work migrated from London and Brussels to Dublin.Supporting the roll out of 400 new jobs in BarcelonaCascading learning across Europe for 1,200 bank staff in 7 countriesBuilding a complete learning infrastructure for 700 staff in ManchesterLeading an organisation analysis for a national mental health charityEstablishing Ireland’s first Hague accredited adoption agencyGrowing membership & income by 220% at a national support organisationDesigning "SUSI"!I've been lucky enough to work where my passion takes hold, and am always open to new challenges where I can help tilt the balance.
