Hi, I’m Rupa, great to meet you. I found my ikigai, working with people like you.
I’ve spent the last 25 years in Talent, Executive Search and People roles, most recently leading HR and sitting on Executive teams. Through this experience, I’ve learned a lot about the leadership experience, organisational culture and building great workplaces.
I love working with people to define their purpose and achieve their potential. I partner leaders, and through these relationships, impact, them, their teams and the wider organisation.
As the workplace and working practice (hybrid/agile etc) evolves, I’m fascinated by the relationship between joy and wellbeing at work and unlocking superior performance. Psychological and Psychosocial safety is at the heart of this.
I’m based in Cambridge (and London), and have worked for some amazing businesses including:
I have a MSc. in Organisational Psychology and I use this to take a the best of research and take a data driven approach to organisational problems.
I bring expertise, honesty, high levels of support and of challenge, and importantly fun to help navigate the inevitable difficult moments along the way.
Some of the credentials I hold and tools I use are below.
Words
matter
Here are some favourites.
Leadership
Plant a tree in whose shade you will never sit
Relationships
People will forget what you say, they will forget what you do but they will never forget the way you made them feel
Beliefs
We are only limited by what we believe we are capable of.
Mindfulness
Stand guard to the door of your mind, you alone decide what thoughts become beliefs and what beliefs become actions .
