I left school in 1994 and went to study Human Resources Management (HRM) at Southampton Institute of Higher Education. The course was very hands on as well as theoretical and helped me to develop business and people skills. After leaving college I applied for a summer job within the electrical retail trade and got noticed by the store manager. I sold an electrical appliance whilst waiting to be interviewed.
I have been able to develop so many new skills such as People Management, Training Skills and Change Management. People really are key to the success of any business and being at the coal face as well as behind the scenes teaches you this and keeps you on your toes.
Has your CIPD qualification helped you in business?
Yes. I have been able to turn under performing businesses and teams around and change the lives of others in a positive way. I am always learning and developing new skills to help businesses.
I have always been asked to transform under performing stores and teams into profitable ones. I have a unique gift that allows me to use my intuition to transform a business and its team members into high performers and increase profitability.
Is this your unique selling point (USP)?
I am a Small Medium Enterprise, how can you help me?
I have started an independent company Dimension Eighty Eight HR and Training Limited. I am offering HR and Training services to businesses and SMEs who want to grow and develop.
I realised that good HR (Human Resource Management) and training can make a real difference to a business bottom line and profitability.
Keeping this in mind I have designed the business to provide these services to companies and enterprises who do not have the budget for a permanent in house professional.
No. I have decided to work with a range of clients and will discuss individual business needs and requirements as deemed necessary.
Can you transform my under-performing business and team?
Like all things there are no absolute guarantees. However I do have the knowledge and experience to understand where things may be going wrong and to help transform the business.
