What is your passion in psychology?

Finding and developing/growing people, especially front line staff so they can take more control of their work and make more of a difference to their own work and lives.

What are you proud of?

My kids, my grandchild... my self-built straw bale office. This year, voluntary consultancy work helping local organization to apply psychology in order to generate changes in individual behaviour to reduce carbon emissions.

What is an unusual job you've had?

Worked as a station woman on the London Underground where, in the days before electronic public address systems, I had to shout 'Mind the Doors'.
