They have a focus on women, disadvantaged to get into tech roles. Supports future talent pools. Can also upskill existing staff. They leverage 1% levy to gift the training or just pay £800 (5%).
Mistakes - be aware of burnout; need to step away to see things more clearly; and don't be afraid of growth.
Routine - meditate and journal daily but does not beat herself up if she misses a day. Tries to leave by 5pm.
Admires Richard Branson, Simon Sinek, Brenda Brown but also learns from friends.
Next 5yrs - clear plan for next 3yrs; broken down into 12 month plans.
Employee lessons - it took a long time to get the team where it is now. Didn't want to give up control. Grew, then shrunk, then grew to where stable after lots of training.
AI facilitates productivity gains but still need someone to review & fact check.
Books - loves the Alchemist and Start with Why.
Tips - learning to grow a team and let go of the fear. Now grows teams. Would now do that from the beginning.
£100m? - would build loads of schools to change the education system. Should support curiosity and play.
Lessons - focus on the numbers and KPIs; clarity for staff; put in the foundation so staff can support you; ask for support when you need it; build a community.
