I've been at this for a while. I’ve been a manager since the very start of my career, usually managing people whose jobs I couldn’t do.
The industries that I've worked in have varied a lot. The technology we get to work with has changed beyond recognition. But the underlying challenges are the same: strategy, sales, delivery, profit, growth, operations, people. Most definitely not in that order.
I've been working for myself for only a short period of time compared to the many years of working in everything from start-ups to multi-national corporates. That means that I've had to reconsider how I introduce myself rather than being able to fall back on a recognisable job title or an employer that's a household name.
I've settled on: Independent Consultant, Board Advisor, Executive Coach. Change, Experience, Growth.
This website is me trying to distill all of that into a few core principles and tools. If it helps: you are most welcome, let me know how. If you disagree: come and join the debate on LinkedIn or BlueSky.
