Lorna talks to us about the importance of making hybrid working work.
We talk about:
- Wanting to go to Newcastle University way more than becoming a Doctor.
- Cutting through challenges in workshops by painting pottery.
- And being told she couldn’t start a business as didn’t have the entrepreneur gene!
Lorna Helps is the founder of Vibrant Thinking which helps organisations implement hybrid working to transform their workplace.
Prior to starting her own business she worked at Procter and Gamble for 17 years. She was based in Newcastle but was part of teams based in London and Geneva so has some understanding of the challenges of hybrid working where teams are not in the same physical location.
With Vibrant Thinking she combines her experience at P&G with unlocking creativity and innovative thinking within people to get better solutions for the client organisation.
