What do you like about your job and the company?
I have always had roles in customer facing teams which has allowed me to be closer to the customer and make a real difference to them or their businesses. Being a people manager gave me the opportunity to help individuals grow by motivating, supporting and developing them. Seeing colleagues flourish and progress in their careers is very fulfilling.

I carried out listening sessions alongside my colleague Oliede Usher with Ethnic Minority colleagues to understand the barriers they face when it comes to career progression. From the feedback of these sessions a pilot, Mentoring Programme has been launched in BCB for colleagues from an Ethnic Minority which will help them to secure a mentor and also provide them with the skills to help them with career progression.

From my experience resilience is the most important thing that helps me to get to the objectives. Sometimes things are not easy but if you really want something keep trying, ask for help if needed and push yourself. Don’t give up easily but also don’t be too harsh on your self when things don’t go as planned, sometimes it happens and you can’t control it. If you did everything in your power to reach what you wanted to and it still didn’t happen it wasn’t meant to be.
