I started working in human resources over 20 years ago. To start with I thought that this was my true calling in life. I loved what I did. I loved supporting managers and teams to be the very best that they could. But over time I became frustrated as I was being away from doing what I loved into aspects of the job I didn’t care about as much as supporting people. I found that I was no longer able to be authentic. I found that I was constantly having to compromise my own values for the aims of the organisations I was working for. It became uncomfortable, stressful, and I started suffering from depression. I had decided to go back to university to study Psychology and this started to open my eyes. I found the various aspects of psychology completely fascinating and was really drawn to understanding some of the workings of the mind.
