I believe in order to Lead a large Team you need a sound understanding of mental health and to understand the impact this plays on peoples well being and ability to reach their potential both at home and within the workplace. Being an ambassador and supporter of Mental Health, I am dedicated to ensuring i not only develop my Team's culture through my leadership but building relationship's that foster a healthy, strong and motivated workplace. My ability to adapt, organise and overcome challenges is varied and is essential in achieving business success collaboratively.
