“Leading any kind of HR activity can be isolating. Finding the time to think, strategise and work out the impact of your contribution on the business is a real challenge alongside the day job. I worked as an HRD in a global business for many years. Only now have I realised the power of space and time in a conducive environment and the positive contribution it makes to both yourself and the business you work for”
