IMPOWER’s Heroes of 2023: 22 December
IMPOWER’s Heroes of 2023: 22 December
Find out who I've nominated as my hero of 2023...
I have worked for IMPOWER since February 2017 and over the past three years I have been involved in many different types of projects, both client facing and internal, and was promoted from Senior Consultant to Manager in 2019.
In the summer of 2018, I wrote a ‘day in the life of’ blogpost, designed to help potential recruits understand how we work with our clients at IMPOWER and what some of the typical project activities are. It also helped in answering the dreaded dinner party question… ‘so what exactly does a management consultant do?’
Since I wrote that blogpost, IMPOWER as a company has evolved and my colleagues and I have all played a role in developing the company. Together we have:
In this time my role at IMPOWER has also developed. When I wrote the last blog, designed for potential candidates, I was a Senior Consultant and very much performed the front-line delivery role in the projects I worked on. Over the past year I worked towards promotion to Manager through taking more of a lead in project management activities, developing closer relationships with senior stakeholders and supporting my colleagues with their own development.
IMPOWER has a very supportive attitude towards professional development and there are always opportunities on projects to take on more responsibility or work on specific objectives. We also all have a personal training budget that we can use throughout the year on individual training or coaching or other creative ways.
In June I am going on maternity leave and look forward to seeing how IMPOWER has continued to evolve and deliver amazing impact in public services when I return to work next year.
