I realised recently that I have never really shared much about myself. That’s despite all the many blog posts I’ve written for Aim Higher and elsewhere. So I thought it was time to correct that oversight. Aim Higher Training exists because I believe investing in people is how organisations actually grow. Not as a slogan, […]
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and yet there are so many people who don’t want to admit to this.

Across the UK, demand for skilled, credentialled assessors is outpacing supply, and that gap is widening. Whether you work in housing, health and social care, business […]
