Some partnerships just make sense.
I am excited to share that I am working more closely with The Padded Cell as it continues to evolve its vision of bringing together business, wellbeing and community.
From the outside, many people see The Padded Cell (CIC) as a wellbeing space. What has really inspired me though is the ambition behind it.
Russell and Steve have always talked about creating something much bigger than a place for recovery. Their vision is to build a community where business, leadership, health and human performance come together, recognising that workplace culture and individual wellbeing are inseparable.
As part of that journey, they are beginning to shape a network of Chairs. These are not traditional board positions. They are people who believe in the vision, bring experience from different sectors and can help shape conversations, challenge thinking and build meaningful partnerships.
I am delighted to be part of those conversations and to help develop the corporate and strategic partnership side of The Padded Cell.
Many of you know me through my work in recruitment and retention.
Throughout my career, one thing has become increasingly clear to me: people are every organisation's greatest asset. Recruiting exceptional talent is important however helping people feel supported, valued and well enough to thrive is what creates resilient, high-performing teams.
That belief is also why I have developed my own wellbeing offering as well over the last year and begun hosting sound sessions myself - follow me on instagram to see this journey expand & will be sharing some exciting corporate news too in the coming weeks. Taking time to slow down, recharge and reconnect is not a luxury. It is something every one of us needs, especially as business owners, leaders and busy professionals.
It feels right to be working alongside Russell and Steve again. We all first worked together through recruitment many years ago and it has been brilliant to reconnect around a shared belief that recruitment, retention, leadership and wellbeing should never be separate conversations. They all play a part in creating workplaces where people genuinely enjoy coming to work and have the opportunity to flourish.
This is just the beginning on my next chapter as I evolve and I am excited to see where the journey leads.
If you are passionate about building healthier workplaces, stronger teams and better leaders, I would love you to follow the journey and join the conversation.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this transition so far with words of encouragement and support - forever grateful and also all the amazing people I have worked with so far in my career 🙏
