One branch I was in the people was the best thing about it. It was fun to be there and it didn’t feel like work however we still performed really well and the branch was thriving. Everyone loved coming to work so much and it showed in their performance as we all won awards etc. Even the customers could see it. One time we played twister in the morning huddle which was so funny and still have the recording on it! It was the just the atmosphere

I worked in Travel when I first left school and did this for 9 years working up to Customer Service Manager. I have worked in training for over 20 years and FE where I was responsible for 13 colleagues across 2 sites.  This was challenging, however gave me a good grounding for what was expected as a manager.

I'm grateful to my managers who always believed in me, and inspired me to always reach for the next step within my development. Only I stand in the way of my success.
I'm grateful for learning that i should always follow my gut feelings, and air my concerns respectfully and honestly.
I'm also grateful for being encouraged to show initiative, try new things, and when to say 'no', when a request would impact me negatively.
I try to teach this to my learners every day, and use these learnings in my role with managers, colleagues and learners.

One of my earliest memories that I can clearly visualise is building a treehouse with my brother at the end of the garden. I say tree house - it wasn't, we were too young to do anything decent, it was a plank in a tree but to use it was a castle. And it was our castle!!

Working at Pizza Hut in my late teens and early 20's, I worked along side family, but the whole team became a family. They even came to my our family events. The manager's office was the pub next door, I first became a manager there and have some great memories.

The manager that always stands out to me as the nicest was a man called Alan Brown. Early in my career, his laissez-faire attitude had the team really like him but he brought the team together like a family. I always admired that and I chose parternalistic leadership through most of my career due to it.

Ex Royal Marine called Stewart who got me involved in Public Services courses and introducing young people to expeditions/adventurous activities.

Impact I had on a (then) young lecturer who I interviewed and selected to join my department at the college. He was very grateful and said it played a big part in him going on to be a firefighter.

Manager - When i became a manager i had an area manager who was my mentor. I could go to her for anything but the main thing was i gained her wisdom and still to this day she is like a mentor to me. The things she taught me has helped in work and life.

Teacher - I had this teacher who thought i was wonderful and she always believed in me mainly. She was my English teacher and just that belief was motivation for me. I noticed she always went out her way to support me and you could tell she cared.

I remember my maths teacher at secondary school who was amazing, he was just so inspiring and engaging.  This inspired me to be an effective teacher too.

I hope I have contributed to others' careers, however unable to pinpoint right now.

In my previous role, I wanted to move to L&D. As this wasn't an option within my organisation at that time, my RM was honest with me, and encouraged me to pursue my career outwith the organisation, which led me to Remit.

I don't know if I contributed to someone else's career. Perhaps I did and don't know about it, or perhaps someone might have mentioned I did, out of a feeling of obligation, when in fact I didn't. If this was the case, I don't remember anyone saying so.

As multi-site manager at Avis, I worked with my team to find their goals. I setup performance improvement plans and was able to promote 7 in my 2 and a half years. Most notably my TL that all was told he could not reach GM

Do i leave a place i have worked in for 20 years however i did it and now im here at Remit and it was a good decision as i'm learning things that i wouldnt at my old place as its a differetn industry. I wanted to leave as i didnt want to be a one trick pony and now i'm not. All good things......

I have been made redundant twice. The first time was a quick process so not too bad but the second time was a long-drawn-out process which was hard. The uncertainty of the future is what made this a hard time. However, each time I have been made redundant a new better opportunity has arisen :)

# data[].attributes.body
Being made redundant from one of the Training Providers I worked for - this was an extremely difficult time. However, I moved forward and luckily, during my consultation period, I was able to secure a new role with a different company, meaning I wasn't out of work :-)

# data[].attributes.body
In my first role as GM, I became overwhelmed and was doing over 70 hours per week. This had an effect on me and my personal life. I tried all I knew from my training to change this but with no avail. I then took the courage to step into a new outside of my comfort zone.

One situation that stands out was when I was asked to step up as a manager to lead the motor vehicle department at my college. I hadn't been a manager in an FE environment before and didn't know a thing about mechanics. But taking a number of people's advice, I went into the situation initially by just observing and listening and didn't try to impose anything to radical initially. By regularly arranging to see all of the staff individually and also doing team meetings I was able to build up a good idea of what went on but was also able to gain the trust of the team.

I had a very successful career in the banking industry in South Africa - a long, long, long time ago.
Having started as a cashier in the bank I worked my way to area manager in 3 years.
During this time I was caught in several bank robberies - the last of which my colleague was shot point blank with a shotgun, and died in my arms.
At this point, I made the decision to leave the industry, as I had a baby by then, and did not want my child to grow up without a mother.

Any of the students that I worked with at the college that were NEET or those that were in the Foundation department as these all had their own struggles and any achievement for them was inspiring.

Gareth was a learner who had unfortunately been set up to fail from the outset - he was not qualified, nor in the right role for the qualification. He is an introvert, very shy, not very knowledgeable. He didn't believe in himself either.
With additional support, he was able to pass the course.
I replicate my commitment to my learners every day, at every session.

# data[].attributes.body
I worked with a lady who was a manager at a cleaning company in Barnsley. She had worked her way up to management and had not done learning since school and she was in her early 50's. She has 0 confidence in herself and her ability to complete the qualification. I worked closely with her and provided positive verbal feedback on every assignment as she couldn't read too well. She passed the course which was an amazing achievement! I think my learning was to be adapting to the learners situations.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel I've played a significant part in helping a number of learners move into careers in the public services, including learners who've gone on to Sandhurst, the Royal Marines or emergency services. One particular learner who struggled socially at college went on to be an Ambulance Call Handler and has more recently become a paramedic. I particularly encouraged him to be pro-active in events, taking the lead and stepping up into positions of responsibility. A couple of years after he left the college he came back and gave a presentation to my department.

My trips to church with my family played a part in my earliest sense of right and wrong. If I'm honest, I felt my time in the Army also played a part, where I really had to 'live' by a certain set of standards for a number of years, within a whole community where everyone else was living by those standards. And then, actually as a leader of a whole department, responsible for over 100 learners each year and with about 10 colleagues who looked up (or down!!) to me, I really felt I had to set an example.

1 x On the side of the road in a foreign country. I just pushed myself to get back to somewhere safe as no one else was there to help me.
2 x Working towards my first GM role. I was second in 2 interviews at the time and only because I did not live there. I decided that if I was not appreciated in the company, I would source elsewhere.
3 x My driving test. I thought I hit the curb and that I had failed. I decided to just relax and finish the test and passed.

Remit survey results -
Demotivated by the data and the direct link to myself.
To get over this I need to take time to understand the data and how I can positively influence this.

Learner withdrawals from the programme-
This is very demotivational as it makes you feel that you have not done something right.
To get over this it is important to find the root cause of the learner's withdrawal from the programme.

Exercise and no weight loss-
I have put effort into exercise taking time out to attend the gym etc.
To get over this I also need to look at my food intake haha !
