What do you enjoy the most about your work?
I enjoy working with Health and Safety Reps - seeing them empowered to engage with managers in their workplaces to make them safer and healthier.
What do you look forward to each week?
The experience that you provide in workshops and making a difference in some way. Seeing the "ah-ha" moments for the Reps, or when you hear them talk about how they will improve health and safety when they get back to work.
When travelling I also look forward to getting home.
What is the biggest challenge?
Travel - often being in new places and venues. It is like finding yourself in a new workplace each week, setting up and dealing with whatever this throws at you.
Encouraging people who feel uncertain that they can make a difference. It's great when you see them energised by what is possible at the end of the workshop.
