We’re delighted to spotlight our female employees, celebrating our recognition as one of the 2023 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women! Each week, we’ll delve into the career journeys of these extraordinary women through three insightful questions, sharing their personal narratives, triumphs, and lessons learnt. We aim to inspire, motivate, and showcase the myriad of opportunities available in our organisation, demonstrating that at Oakleaf Partnership, every woman’s success story can be unique and significant. Join us in this journey of discovery, growth, and celebration.
Have you ever had a mentor in your career, and if so, how did they help you grow professionally?
I have had many and I feel very privileged to say this, some more formal that others but all very influential to me. Difficult to summarise to one point but if I had to I would say it’s helped me feel very comfortable about my purpose and what drives me.
What motivates you to wake up and go to work every day?
My family, both work and home!
What is/was your biggest career fear and how have you overcome this?
Failing….and I overcame it by failing and realising that in the right environment these experiences become your biggest learns!
What still makes you nervous?
Lots of things…but wouldn’t life be a bit boring if not. I am a strong believer in not allowing yourself to feel too comfortable for too long it’s how we grow and evolve. The important piece is learning how to manage your nerves and having a support system around you.
