I moved into the third sector over 10 years ago, having held various HR Manager roles. Providing access to professional level training, to people for whom this was a fresh experience, brought a great deal of personal satisfaction.

I have the privilege of working with many women – each from a broad range of backgrounds but all seeking personal development, be it skills or confidence building. I know how lucky I am, to travel with these women, whatever their journey might be, to witness them grow in confidence and skills, each tapping into talents they didn’t realise they had and to become the very best that they can be – it doesn’t get much better than that!

With over 25 years’ experience in education, I am a firm believer in the concept of life-long learning. Whether it’s a formal qualification or learning to develop confidence and self-awareness, it is something that I enjoy sharing to help people feel more empowered.

My main areas of interest and expertise are leadership, teamwork and psychology. With expertise in fitness and outdoor activities too, I believe that health and well-being is part of becoming more self-aware; and can help develop confidence that contributes in many ways.

I thoroughly enjoy delivering our learning modules and it’s great meeting all the participants and learning about their work and experiences; and particularly, helping them to realise their potential.

I worked for 25 years in the Banking and Finance Industry, progressing to Team Leader, First Line Manager, Head of Department and Project Manager. I gained a Post Graduate Degree in Business whilst working in this industry.

I worked for Chwarae Teg on Agile Nation until 2014, and returned to work in the ILM team for Agile Nation2 in 2017. I recently took on the LDP role, delivering our accredited ILM training and non-accredited learning modules.

My background and experience has been predominantly in the education sector, having previously worked as a curriculum manager and lecturer within a further education college where I managed and delivered a diverse range of courses for adult learners.

As a Learning Development Partner at Chwarae Teg, I deliver the ILM accredited programme and additional learning modules throughout North Wales. It’s a privilege to see the positive impact our training and development has on the lives of the women we support. I love my job!

I completed the Agile Nation Programme around 9 years ago and was impressed by the organisations professionalism and passion for fairness and equality. Chwarae Teg’s Vison, Mission and Values are perfectly aligned to my own.

I am an experienced Manager with 19 years of experience in Career Development and Project Management. My role here at Chwarae Teg is a Career Development Partner in the Womens Strand Team. I possess professional qualifications in Leadership and Management, Project and Change Management and Advice and Guidance.

I feel extremely privileged and lucky to carry out this role, meeting so many incredibly Strong and Passionate women who Inspire me to be the best version of myself each day. I am rewarded by supporting women to gain the skills and confidence to reach their potential and to become Strong Leaders in the workplace.

I joined Chwarae Teg with an extensive background in administration and finance, having worked in retail and for a local catering supplies company. As project co-ordinator, I support the successful delivery, reporting, monitoring and continuous improvement of the Women’s Programme. I am proud to be supporting programme delivery through proactive administration and co-ordination of activities across the Agile Nation 2 project.

As a Career Development Partner on the Agile Nation 2 Programme, I have the pleasure in meeting many wonderful women in Wales for their initial meeting. I deliver training and provide support throughout their time with us while they are completing the programme, and I help to celebrate their successes and witness the amazing changes they achieve for themselves.

I see, first-hand, how the programme helps women to improve their skills and confidence, which allows them to develop and move their careers forward. I have the best job satisfaction I have ever had, knowing that what I do plays a small part in making a difference to our participants.

I joined Chwarae Teg in 2017 with extensive experience in management, education and advice and guidance. My role as Career Development Partner within the women’s Programme has allowed me to utilise my experience, skills and knowledge to support women in their learning and career journey. I am passionate about my role and gain extreme satisfaction from being a part of the career development programme, witnessing first-hand the positive impact that the programme has on women. From the initial Getting to Know You meeting to the review upon completion of the programme, my role is to support women to recognise their skills and strengths, develop their confidence and to encourage them to define and plan their career goals.

As a busy mother of two, I appreciate that it is sometimes difficult for women to have the chance to reflect on their career journey and to focus on their career development and I am proud to be part of a programme which actively promotes this and has such a positive impact on the lives of women.

I have over 20 years’ experience in training and people management, with qualifications in Coaching, NLP Practice, Change Management, Mindfulness and a number of other subjects linked to personal development and wellbeing. I am also a qualified Mental Health First Aider for adults. Prior to Chwarae Teg, I was the senior lead for ‘people and learning’ across Wales for a large national Charity for 17 years. In the gap between that job ending and working for Chwarae Teg I started and ran a number of small business which has given me useful knowledge and experience to draw on.

My role as a Career Development Partner involves carrying out a 2 hour Getting to Know you Meeting with new participants, gathering information from them and providing career development information and support prior to starting their ILM course. I deliver part of Day 1 of the 6 session programme and all of Day 6 where we focus on further career planning, employability and confidence building to achieve their goals. Finally I complete a review meeting after the course is completed, talk through outcomes and help plan the next steps in the participant’s career journey as well as providing ad hoc support with job applications, interview preparation and so on as required.
