About this Episode

Welcome to Season 4 of Pivots and Plot Twists. This season's theme is SHINING BRIGHT NOT BURNING OUT.
This season is dedicated to stories of hope, inspiration and positivity, in service of helping you live well, love your work and take care of yourself brilliantly.

On this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Amanda Henderson.

Amanda has had a squiggly academic and career path, taking her from marketing to operations, and then to finding her true love and passion in the People function.

Amanda now leads Thread HR, her own people consultancy. Thread HR loves to work with founder-led businesses, taking great pleasure in taking all of their people worries away, whilst supporting them in building sustainable people foundations for growth. Her broad background and experiences - along with a wish to always make working together fun and enjoyable - has seen the business grow from strength to strength.

We discuss:

  • What does inclusion look like
  • The problem with CVs
  • Unconscious biases and tackling those obstacles
  • Why she decided to go out on her own - what was the catalyst
  • Being risk adverse but still taking the risk
  • Is being employed actually less risky?
  • Having confidence in yourself
  • The impact of working longer hours as a self employed person
  • How to manage burnout
  • How relationships at work have to be 2 way to be effective and the future of work
  • Unlocking your magic
