Senior Project Manager

Digital Project Manager

I gained a promotion into this role on the basis of my previous project management experience and my work at RLA for The Trade Parts Specialists (part of Volkswagen Group UK). Particularly for my part in the successful delivery of two secure bespoke online applications. One being a data management and analyis tool which is has improved efficiency for their business and saved hundreds of hours of manual spreadsheet work and the other being a re-launch of an existing incentive platform which has improved user engagement through the design of a more intuitive user experience.

Although currently working on exciting projects in partnership with Volvo and on existing work with The Trade Parts Specialists and other local clients, I'm also looking forward to working on a number of other upcoming projects we'll be delivering at RLA this year.

Digital Account Manager

My Senior Account Manager role at RLA was dedicated to the day to day management and delivery of a highly successful below the line national trade marketing programme for the B2B automotive parts operation of Volkswagen Group UK.

Beginning life at RLA as a Marketing Co-ordintor for the same client, I demonstrated ability to add value and a hunger to deliver and, in recognition of this, was promoted to both Account Manager and then Senior Account Manager in my time on the account.

Senior Account Manager

CM Learning

In auto-pilot, we’re using our unconscious decision-making system to take care of the routine tasks. This can be good, because it prevents us from overloading.

The trouble is, with the challenges of modern life, rather than protecting us, our auto-pilot risks stopping us from developing, learning and growing.

Auto-pilot is damaging because it allows us to repeat harmful cycles. It eats away at our resilience reserves by forcing us down a well trodden path in our brain, when arguably, there is a better way.

I help people to find this better way, by consciously harnessing the power of their mindset and switching from auto-pilot to manual.

The line between our personal and professional lives has never been so blurred. Now more than ever, we drag our whole selves to work, along with our mindset flaws, our insecurities and our worries.

We allow our negative thoughts to take over, we focus on things that are outside of our control and we rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms.

At worst we damage or at best limit, our relationships, our effectiveness and our results.

Since 2012, CM Learning and has helped thousands of people to develop a stronger and more resilient mindset, at work and at home.

Happier people are more effective people.

CM Learning delivers impactful, accelerated and challenging virtual facilitation and coaching that switches people to manual.

Damaging thought patterns are rewritten, people learn to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined and they become able to tune into their physiology to manage wellbeing.

If you’re ready to help your people switch to manual, get in touch.

Pension Review Trainer

My career in learning and development began 25 years ago. When I set-up my training consultancy in 2012, I quickly fell in love with and realised the vital importance of wellbeing and mental health development. 

I have extensive experience in learning, development and group facilitation, both in-person and virtually. I'm one of a rare breed who has facilitated virtual learning since 2013; I didn't have to 'pivot' to it because of a Pandemic, I'd heard of Zoom before it was cool! I’m also a qualified therapeutic counsellor, proud to support people in my private practice through online therapy.

I can be your trusted partner in providing your people with the essential space that they need to maintain their mental health and wellbeing.

Providing access to therapy not only shows your investment in taking proactive care of the people who drive your business, it will positively impact your bottom line when it comes to results and absence. With years of coaching experience, the therapy I provide in an organisational context often becomes solution focused, concentrating on current circumstances and future goals.

If it's learning and development you're interested in, my wealth of facilitation experience means that my workshops are supportive, engaging and informative. I keep things understandable and easy to apply, quickly creating a safe environment where people feel able to open up.

I’ve got all the qualifications you might hope I would have; certificates in all things learning and development, a Postgraduate Diploma in HR Management and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I’m an accredited Clarity4D personality profiling business partner and I’ve continuously developed my knowledge, skills and experience in a way that makes sure I can best support my clients and their unique needs.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my two dogs and when I'm relaxing, I can usually be found in front of the TV watching Coronation Street, Strictly or something equally as highbrow.

I continue to develop my professional knowledge and skills to keep my clients’ and their needs at the heart of everything that I do, and to provide you with the best possible experience during our work together.

Like all of us, I’ve had my own struggles and blocks in my life to work through – trauma, bereavement, negative habits, unhealthy coping mechanisms – and I’m here to combine the personal and professional to help people and organisations strengthen their mental health and wellbeing, so that they can thrive inside and outside of work.
