I have 30 years experience in working for large corporate companies as a Procurement Specialist and Supply Chain Manager.
Following redundancy in 2018, I qualified as a Transformational Coach and now specialise in working with mid-lifers who are navigating everything from empty nest syndrome, job loss, grief and of course, menopause.
Working with this demographic opened my eyes to the devastating effect menopause has on some people, especially in the workplace. It also reminded me of how little support I had during my own peri-menopausal years at work so I decided it was time to make a change.
The change started with a facebook page called Caution! Menopause at Work.
Offering a safe and supportive space for women to talk freely about their menopausal experiences , swap coping mechanisms and learn more about what they are going through and what lies ahead. It soon became clear that many (if not most) women are desperately under informed about the subject of menopause and if women aren’t aware of what’s happening to themselves then it’s no surprise that the workplace has a lot to catch up on.
Since then I have joined forces with the Menopause Experts (MEG) and trained extensively to understand more about the affect menopause has on everyone (we’re all affected by it somehow, even if it’s just knowing someone who is menopausal!) and how we can raise awareness to become a more open, inclusive and supportive community.
I have developed a number of different training formats and workshop options to deliver into large corporate and SME companies, raising awareness about menopause at work and providing the tools to support a menopause friendly culture.
