  • Clare Beresford CEO of Laurence Simons talks culture and how to thrive in your career

    In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Clare Beresford. Clare and I both love speaking on psychology and all things people and culture. As such, it was a joy to discuss what is good culture, learning more about the work that is happening in the 30% club for DEI especially seeking gender parity and encouraging minority groups to shine. We also discussed how to thrive in a professional setting, but also dispel that its ok, to just be ok, and enforce boundaries (whether you work in law or otherwise)! There is room for all professions to thrive and we must make it our mission to welcome all to take some responsibility. This will have a profound impact on morale and wellbeing, as well as aiding in productivity. We also discuss what does good leadership look like, what is the difference between mentorship and sponsorship as well as how you can find your champions.

    By way of background, Clare is the Chief Executive Officer, having joined the business in 2015 when Laurence Simons was part of the Five Ten Group. She led the Management Buy-Out (MBO) from private equity in 2018. Her role is a combination of hiring the right talent across all functions and departments at LS, identifying new areas of opportunity for our business, and meeting with clients and candidates, old and new. She supports on certain senior in-house searches although her main focus is in the private practice partner search world. She has particular interest in diversity, equity and inclusion, and was invited to join the 30% Club back in 2015. She is also a Fellow of St. Georges Society of Leadership Fellows, based at Windsor Castle, and established by the late Duke of Edinburgh. She is a member of the advisory boards of Thompson Reuters TWLIL and fundraising board of Support Through Court (previously the Personal Support Unit).

  • Clare discusses culture, DEI and how to thrive in work

    In this episode, I am delighted to be joined by Clare Beresford. We discuss and unpack what does it mean to have boundaries at work, what does good culture look like is it ok, to be ok/average, especially in competitive industries such as law? We also discuss important DEI topics including how we can achieve greater gender parity and increase mobility for other minority group. Clare is very well placed to advise and talk about this given her career and additional roles.

  • How to be healthy with Sujata Din
    In this podcast episode of Prim Rose Light, I am delighted to be joined by the superstar that is Sujata Din. We learn about Sujata’s career change from accountancy to wellness and the symptoms and challenges that she felt. All of this meant she was not living life 100%. We talk about this in the podcast as well as how wellness is created. It’s not just food or exercise. Tune in for more of the lowdown. Sujata is a multifaceted wellness professional, encompassing roles of Health Coach, Personal Trainer and Meditation Teacher. Sujata’s personal journey through challenges of hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, sinusitis and fatigue served as a catalyst for her transformative journey to finding balance and equilibrium in health. Through this journey, she realised that an understanding of the body and its needs are the cornerstone of genuine well-being. Sujata’s pursuit of wellness extended beyond dietary modifications; it embraced a comprehensive approach including lifestyle changes and cultivating a positive mental outlook.
    Recognising that vitality stems from the harmony of a nourishing diet, mindful living and an optimistic mindset, Sujata has carefully curated these components into transformative programs. These programs, encompassing personalised one-to-one sessions and engaging online formats resonate particularly with busy women navigating hormonal imbalances including menopausal experiences. They cater to a diverse range of aspirations - from weight management and proactive reduction of risk of chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes or heart disease, to learning how to support the natural rebalancing of hormones, improved digestion, and increased energy levels. The programs are tailored to accommodate individuals who want to include their traditional diets, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility. With Sujata as your guide, you will discover that irrespective of how busy you are, achieving and sustaining a healthy lifestyle is well within reach.

  • Celebrating neurodiversity - a dyslexia awareness week special!
    This is a subject very close to my heart as a neurodiverse individual and I’ve been wanting to have someone on this hugely important topic for some time. I’m thrilled Luke who works in learning and development in the insurance sector takes us through his journey.
