How We Live Our Values: Ambition
My passion for business comes from a long history of growth and success, along with many of the challenges that come with it. I believe the true test of quality, in life and in business, is the ability to overcome the next hurdle. I value energy, determination, and a mindset that looks for solutions and refuses to take no for an answer.
In My Own Words
My pivot from practitioner to leader came at a time of need, in a business with strong foundations but a clear need for direction and change. I discovered that directness, honesty and action lead to results, and build belief, motivation and pride. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a business and its people succeed.
