Show Notes

I'm really excited for this week's guest as I have Maxine Blake joining me. Maxine is someone who has been operating at the senior HR level for a number of years now, having originally come from an operations background in the hospitality industry.

Maxine is a great example of someone who has used that Ops experience and broader understanding of things like sales, finance, marketing to make her a very rounded, commercially astute HR professional. She's also someone who wasn't highly academic at school but has more than made up for that in later life and holds a Bachelors degree, an MBA and a HR Masters.

Trust me that this really isn't an episode to be missed. I hope you all enjoy listening.
