Hi! I'm Lucy,
In 2016, when launching my own consultancy business, I asked over 100 friends and colleagues to describe me in just one word.
The top 6 were...
Passionate
Courageous
Professional
Inspirational
Tenacious
Fearless
I’m fairly proud of that.
Anyway, I’m guessing you’re here because you’d like to know a little more about me and maybe understand more about my expertise and experience.

I discovered what it genuinely means to work with a great leader, an inspirational mentor, a conscientious manager and a fantastic colleague when I worked with Lucy. She is an exceptionally-passionate, positive person who always puts a smile on your face during a stressful working day. I have truly enjoyed working with her.

Lucy is such a high energetic leader that you can't help but get excited about what she's aiming to achieve. She is a true problem solver, I have seen her work through difficult situations and keep her sunny disposition. She ensures that those around her are supported and are given the opportunities to perform and grow.

What people say
Transgender Awareness
This is a relatively new thing for me. Let me tell you a short story.
Firstly, I am transgender. That means I was born “male” when all along I should have been female (a biological, medical condition known as Gender Dysphoria, you can Google it). Lots of medication, counselling and surgery later, I’ve fixed that.
My earliest memory was at the age of 4 or 5.
I know it was then because my Mum told me the girls next door moved out when I was 5. She was shocked when nearly 40 years later I could still vividly describe their garden.
As my life went on, I over-compensated with uber-masculine behaviour; considered suicide and was supported by the most amazing people in the world who gave me the love and care to become my true self.
You can read all about this in a series of posts (captured in one article) which I wrote for Transgender Awareness week 2021 by clicking below.
My Services
The feedback from my recent experience in posting for Transgender Awareness was amazing and it convinced me to use my platform to educate, inform and support more people who either are transgender themselves or – and this is where you may come in – businesses who wish to inform, educate and support their organisation.
​
I’ve done bits and pieces of this in the past – either as part of LGBT+ panels in my workplace or, once, at the Virgin Gender Conference – and had great feedback.
​
Now I’d like to make it a regular thing.
