My mission is to channel my energy and enthusiasm towards motivating others and making a difference. I believe that life is too short to spend it doing something you don't enjoy and that great performance can also be fun! People, places and cultures inspire me and I hope I never stop learning.
STRATEGIST - CATALYST - COACH. An international leader, customer advocate and passionate diversity champion, I bring 30 years experience driving growth and developing people, in consumer goods and online retail, gained working in Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, France and the UK.
I have written a career book 'Two Mirrors and a Cheetah' and have authored multiple articles in the mainstream press.
Alongside the 'day job' I like to lend my support with board advisory, mentoring and ad hoc speaking engagements.
Double Magpie is my brand for inspiration, with a positive edge and enjoyment of the everyday stuff! Magpies to me, are very fascinating and colourful birds - look up close and there is a lot more than black and white. As the poem goes "1 for sorrow but 2 for joy" so a positive pair to see, and as I grew up in Newcastle, there is not a more fitting a bird. I take my inspiration from many sources other people, quotes, pictures and of course my kids. I share them in the hope that at least one person finds some of it inspiring too. Enjoy! Double Magpie is my brand for inspiration, with a positive edge and enjoyment of the everyday stuff!
