Emma Hanmore recently spoke at DisruptHR delivering her talk on Steve the Seed and Paul the Pip - both apprentices, one who flourishes in the garden whilst one doesn't. This talk inspired this podcast interview.

Kelly and Emma talk about growth, apprentices, supporting our colleagues, and being accountable for our personal development. Do not miss this episode, we could all do with a bit of Emma in our HR teams.

About Emma

Hi! I'm Emma, I'm 22 (the question everyone always wants the answer to, but never wants to ask!) and I am currently an HR Apprentice at the London Borough of Hillingdon, studying towards a Level 5 HR Business Partner/Consultant qualification with Crosby Management Training.

I am almost a year through my apprenticeship and have enjoyed working in both the Resourcing and Operations teams within HR.

I am hugely passionate about growth and development and believe massively in the importance of self-improvement.

In my spare time, I enjoy knitting, cuddling animals and watching Disney movies (when I grow up, I hope to be a Disney princess), as well as trying lots of new things - I am trying to learn the ukulele, and have recently taught myself needle felting.

In the future, I would love to improve my public speaking skills, complete my Masters degree and go skydiving (perhaps way, way in the future for this one!). I am on a journey to become the me-est me that I can be, by pushing my boundaries and being a 'yes' person!
