making stuff better

This podcast was borpodcast n out of the COVID19 pandemic in 2021.  It aims to create a platform to celebrate activity happening across the city of Leeds predominently in Local Care Partnerships.  Local Care Partnerships (LCPs) is the term used in Leeds to describe a model of joined-up working to deliver local care for local people; working in and with local communities.

The podcast is a collection of stories and experiences where we hear the diverse voices of people in the city who are focussed on working in a collaborative way to improve health and care, working together, with and for the people.

I am someone who leads with curiosity, kindness, and a deep drive to improve. In my career, I bring structure and clarity to complexity, helping others make meaningful progress while staying true to what matters. I don’t just complete tasks—I connect dots, ask the right questions, and push for better systems that serve people.

In my relationships, I show up with presence and care. I listen deeply and act with thoughtfulness, building trust through consistency and compassion. My family and friends know they can rely on me—not just in moments of ease, but in moments that matter most.

In my community, I am a steady, purposeful contributor. I don’t seek the spotlight, but I bring influence through quiet leadership, always asking: How can this be better? How can we do this together? I believe change starts locally, and I live that belief through small, meaningful acts.

Within myself, I strive not for perfection, but for alignment. I seek clarity, reflect often, and choose growth—even when it’s uncomfortable. I know who I am, and I act in a way that honors that knowledge. I’m not driven by noise or ego, but by values that hold true, day after day.

Why is your fundamental purpose and the contribution you make to the world.
