Sally Blake

Developing people

I'm an HR, Learning and Organisational Development professional, with over 40 years cross-sector experience spanning employed, associate and freelance work. 

I've worked in private and corporate sectors, third sector, Higher/and Health Education. 

I've been responsible at strategic level for programmes of work, leading others through scoping, design, commissioning, delivering and evaluation of skills or curriculum initiatives, with multiple modes of learning. 

Through an HR and systems lens, I understand the world of work, the surprises and challenges it throws up and the unexpected opportunities for growth which may be awaiting you.

Releasing Potential

I know how one small change in thinking, or a new decision, can release untapped potential which may be lost or hidden in the demands of the present. 

I've encouraged and supported many individuals on their personal career journeys through the changing and dynamic landscape of work/life/career.  This can mean navigating through challenges, loss of direction, feeling stuck or restless, or unplanned personal change.

I help to identify strengths, transferable skills, untapped talents and most importantly, a sense of purpose, which will pull you towards future directions and mobilise your career energy.

Through my own varied and sometimes unconventional career path, I've discovered how a whole-life career calls on qualities such as resilience, bounce-back, tenacity, optimism, hope and I'm here to help you dial these qualities up to move your own journey forward.
