My idea started back in 2016 when I saw new leaders and managers coming into health, looking overwhelmed and frustrated. I knew this was a moment I could step up and do something different, creative and supportive or get on with my job and watch them from a distance.
My weekly email started to make their days a little lighter, brighter and easier. It quickly grew and now with a worldwide audience I continue with the same mission and purpose.
Sharing ideas, stories, and resources focusing on leading yourself first, leading others, and generating joy in work.

So the email is called ‘I am no Jedi’
When you subscribe to the weekly emails you'll see I title them - I am no Jedi - I need to explain.
I am no great expert nor have I got everything sussed, I certainly don’t have all the answers, I make mistakes and I keep learning. I’m persistent and get back up after I’ve been knocked down. My purpose comes from collecting, collating and then sharing the lessons I’ve picked up along the way.
I do think Star Wars can teach us many things and I’ll throw in Star Wars wisdom whenever I can. Though I’ve now added Ted Lasso to my inspiration for wise words.
