      I had the delight of working to support and develop the leadership population within British Gas residential energy.Through the facilitation of learning experiences we explored what it meant to be an authentic leader. Considering what motivates and drives behaviour, where it comes from, what actions it leads to and the impact upon ourselves and the people around us.Through ongoing coaching, reflection and review we enhanced the capability and competence of leadership within British Gas, supporting the values and strategic priorities of the organisation. Show less I loved leading a team of L&D Partners that supported the learning & development of the British Gas Smart Energy Experts and their management teams. Smart Energy Experts provided an exceptional customer experience and beneficial energy advice to customers as well as installing their gas and electricity meters safely. My role was varied and fast paced. It covered hugely diverse subject matter and populations, I was privileged to work as part of a management team that helped to shape the L&D strategy for BGSM and influence the L&D offering across British Gas. It also gave me the benefit of seeing a lot of the UK! Show less
