About

๐Ÿ‘‹ Senior leaders operate in environments where judgement matters and noise is constant. The work supoorting them is rarely visible, and thats what I love about servant leaderahip It is about structuring information, clarifying priorities, so that sound decisions can emerge. Executive capacity is finite and potecting it is operational discipline. My background in dance and teaching shaped an instinct for timing and structure. Pressure reveals whether there is form underneath. Business is no different. Administrative roles are often described as support. In reality they contain project management, risk awareness and quiet decision shaping. Making that structure visible, particularly for other assistants, has become a parallel interest in my short course, The Projcet Admin. Curious about organisational design, movement and how AI will alter knowledge work. Preferring plain language over performance. Serious about the work, chilled about the rest. Fun facts about me 1โƒฃ Chocolate is my currency 2โƒฃ I've worked on 3 continents and travelled to 5 3โƒฃ is the number of pirouettes I can do, on a bad day
