About this speaker
I am not a poet, but my novel-in-search-of-an-agent was longlisted for the MsLexia first novel award.
Unfolding Poetry began as an experiment in the upstairs room of my local bookshop in Shoreham-by-sea. Using a framework based on Benedictine monks, it has become a community practising mindful meditation using poetry as inspiration. You can find out more about our practice and the poems we unfold to on my free substack
I have been writing about ethical business practice for 25 years, supporting some of the world’s largest organisations and am a subject matter expert on speaking up in the workplace. I have been privileged to have supported the work of Freedom to Speak Up Guardians who help workers in the NHS in England to speak up and be heard.
I am a cancer survivor, in remission from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma following a stem cell transplant in 2016.
