Lucinda is joined by Helen Ketteringham, the Chief People Officer at NCFE, an education charity based in the North East of England. Helen shares her journey in HR, detailing her 20 years of experience across various sectors, including retail and financial services, before stepping into her current role. She discusses the importance of navigating uncertainty in leadership, the value of a coaching culture, and the significance of continuous learning.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
A commitment to lifelong learning is essential for personal and professional growth. Adopting a learning mindset helps navigate the complexities and uncertainties of the workplace.
Establishing a coaching culture within an organisation is crucial. It not only empowers leaders to support their teams effectively but also fosters a collaborative environment where individuals can develop their skills and self-awareness.
Comfort with ambiguity and uncertainty is a vital skill for leaders, especially in HR roles. Embracing change and viewing it as an opportunity can lead to innovative solutions and better organisational outcomes.
Building strong networks both internally and externally enhances the ability to address challenges and leverage diverse expertise. Collaboration is key to achieving strategic goals and fostering a supportive workplace culture.

BEST MOMENTS

"What I was looking for was a real sort of sense of purpose and meaning... it was definitely meaning I was looking for and it's definitely delivered on that."

"I think the biggest difference for me... is around navigating uncertainty... we need to understand that ourselves."

"If you're somebody who really likes certainty, you feel like you need to have all the answers... but in actual fact, no one has all the answers."

"It's about linking through those approaches to business outcomes further down the line... storytelling is really helpful."
