From Whitehall with love

There is almost nothing about the last 15 years I planned or expected. Yet it’s been a staggeringly productive time, and I’ve had the privilege to contribute to some generational changes in the NHS in England. Unsurprisingly, I’ve also learned a huge amount – and I’d be happy to share my experiences and lessons with you and your people. 

• working in large bureaucracies and vague complex systems
• leading when you’re not the Big Boss
• getting things done through other people
• moving forward when there’s no map and the compass is no help
• achieving big ambitions usually involves both a large scale and a small scale focus
• what your team are really thinking about you
• surviving being celebrated and hated
• Politics in healthcare, how decisions are made and who really runs the country
• how to spot when you should have left a while ago

I have addressed audiences from 6 to 6,000 and am happy to tailor a session to your needs. I’m experienced in presenting with energy in person and over video link.
