Perspective exists to get HR out of the weeds and into impact. Too often, HR is stuck covering for team leaders who haven’t been taught, or expected, to lead. That means endless firefighting, emotional labour, and picking up the slack where basic leadership should live. Perspective fixes that. It builds leadership habits where they matter most: in the everyday rhythm of teams. It helps team leaders take real responsibility for engagement, wellbeing, and performance so that HR Leaders can finally get on with driving the strategic impact they were hired to make.
We are offering a 25% discount on lifetime subscription fees for all HR Big Meet attendees who sign-up to use Perspective by the end of June. Just quote the HR Big Meet when you book your demo at gainperspective.ai

Tess – twice published author, Leadership Coach & Team Facilitator.
I set up the business (The Transformation Agency) in 2010 from a passion of ensuring organisations are a safe & vibrant place – that gets the best out of people.
My background: HR Director in a number of organisations (mainly: Private healthcare & Media)
Our purpose: Help Leaders positively impact the working lives of their people.
Our mission: Positively impact the working lives of 100,000 people every year.
We do this through 3 x primary focus areas:
- Cultural Transformation
- Executive Team Facilitation
- Leadership coaching
In all of the areas above, the systemic lens helps clients get beneath the patterns, issues and ‘roadblocks’ .
We help them find sustainable solutions that identify AND go beyond the root cause.
We are typically working with the ‘C Suite’ OR those being prepared for the ‘C Suite’.
………….
From a systemic perspective, a healthy & helpful starting place – is to help clients establish (or revisit ) their sense of purpose.
I have recently published an eBook – that will help readers reflect on their own purpose AND provide them with some tools to facilitate a healthy conversation within their own organisation.
They can access this eBook here:

Being a people professional can be hard and not always because of the actual work.
Sound familiar?
- You’ve just been handed a project you’ve never tackled before
- You’ve got your HR qualification, but no clue what comes next
- You’re being ghosted by recruiters (again)
- You need expert support but don’t know who to trust
- You’re the most senior HR person in your business, and it’s lonely
- You’re toying with consultancy, but where do you even start?
That’s why I created Evolving HR a one-stop app based platform connecting you to brilliant, trusted experts, coaches, consultants and service providers. Instead of endless LinkedIn scrolling or random Googling to find what you need, we have it all in one place.
We also run free webinars and bold, agenda-challenging events like our sell-out conference for HR rebels and innovators last year in Manchester (yes, we’re doing it again this November in Bristol).
We’re not a community, so there’s no obligation on you to engage regularly. We’re simply your go-to source of knowledge, insight and connection, created by HR professionals, for HR professionals; especially those flying solo or feeling stuck.
And yes, I’ll be at The HR Big Meet! Come say hello, have a natter, and let’s talk about what support you need.
