Here's a little more about our amazing guest speaker:

Nia has spent 25 years working in the public and charitable sectors across local government, the NHS and civil service, predominantly in Wales and in the last few years, moving to England. She currently works as a Director in a children’s charity.
Throughout her career, Nia has been interested in working relationship: the dynamics between people and the impact both good and bad relationships have on individuals and their ability to effectively deliver their work. This led her to develop an interest in self-awareness, leader effectiveness and leadership at all levels which became the focus of her doctoral research.
Nia launched her blog in 2018 to share her research finding alongside her experience of the world of work, with others.

She then launched her podcast, ‘ The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast’ in 2022 to take her research from academia to the office.

She published her first book, ‘The Self-Awareness Superhighway: Charting Your Leadership Journey’ earlier this year.
