Claire has developed and delivered programmes of work, managing them and her teams through to completion. Delivering customer-centric value propositions or policy outputs by leveraging of data to ensure the underlying concepts of those propositions and policies are truly valid.
When asked what was her favourite role, her answer was immediate, working in Zurich on a 3G Mobile launch. She loved the creative problem solving and creating a good customer experience, and had a great team experience, working hard but also time to socialise.
Claire had a very successful career, but once she had started her family she realised that there were a lot of things she wanted to change about her life, to get a better balance and be the mother she wanted to be. That was when she retrained to be an interior designer and started to fill her creative void. It was however short lived and her return to corporate life found her doubly frustrated.
Claire started meditation which gave her a new perspective and a way to cope with her frustrations. She then took a skills assessment and based on the results, retrained as a coach. Since then Claire has been on a journey of discovery, taking time out for herself, learning new creative skills and thinking about what lights her up and getting real satisfaction from the work she does with people.
In her own words
Now, I understand that by trusting and surrendering ourselves to life, we can become unstoppable.
