My core values
Exploration - wanting to find out, to understand how and why things happen, to look for new avenues and opportunities, to challenge and learn in order to make possible more compelling and energising outcomes;
Appreciation - recognising what is working and what is giving life and energy in order to grow awareness of the richness of the resources available to each one of us;
Fulfilment - working with others to liberate potential so that people achieve their unique misson and purpose and their life and work become the most enriching experience that they can be;
Partnership - working with others as equals without imposing judgements or jumping to conclusions and sharing knowledge, skills and experience openly for mutual gain and not simply for personal satisfaction and reward;
Integrity - a commitment to doing what I say and speaking the truth with respect and empathy even when it may not be what others want to hear;
Respect - celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion so that others always feel valued and heard and are fully involved with whatever work I do on their behalf.
