A LIST OF THINGS THAT MAKE ME WORK BETTER

Massage Chair

One of our crazier and spontaneous purchases was a massage chair. We both use it everyday after work and putting the kids to bed. A well used and much valued addition to balancing work/life.

Superhero Accessory

I have a few favourite ties, mostly from British designer Paul Smith that I wear when I want to feel confident.

Keeping It Real

Be yourself. I don't let the title ‘Ambassador’ go to my head. It's great whilst it lasts but once you stop being an Ambassador you still have to do your own cooking, cleaning and washing. Kids help keep it real!

ginandtonic

Restorative Powers

Lots of cuddles from my toddlers and a ‘diplomatic strength’ Gin and Tonic rejuvenate me!

"Step out of your comfort zone from time to time, try new things, retain that intellectual curiosity - and keep a balance between work/life, and the serious and the frivolous".
