1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life?

I have 2 primary roles:
1. Being head of sustainability in an organisation which is in transition, playing the conscience of that organisation and challenging them to always strive for positive impact
2. Being a mother to my (almost) 3 year old son and trying to raise him well

2. What role do you see as yours to play?

I would like to believe that I left the planet better than I found it, figuring out how to do that is a journey in itself. I am really people orientated and I love to connect and collaborate, to find ways to bring people together, bring energy and enthusiasm to a problem and solve it, break down barriers.

3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above?

To stay true to myself
Meditate and reflect, be grateful
Be present

4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are?

I procrastinate and don't always prioritise well and would like to work on that, I am usually trying to do multiple things at a time.

5. And for professional growth?

I currently work in quite a corporate role and I would like to grow back towards the "business", so really connecting business with doing the "right things"

6. What have you invested in to get you where you are?

I have had 2 burn outs; followed multiple leadership programmes and had a number of coaches. Since June 2023 I believe I am in a very good place, I got better at setting boundaries, I listen to my body, I try to focus on the things I have identified as important.
There are definitely setbacks but I am more resilient and take them as learning moments and move forward. Being where am I has allowed me to make the mental space to confidently take on this course.

7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life?

Authors/thinkers:
Stephen Covey
Giles Strong/Laura Storm (Regenerative Leadership)

8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?

I need to think about this one...
