“Hi, I’m Jo, a Mum to two incredible people, and a yogi, walker (mainly with the dog) runner (used to be with the dog, but he now prefers walking), and writer of mainly dystopic books/scripts – all to be finished…
“I am also a business operations consultant helping companies increase their social and environmental value in everyday activities. I have a breadth of ability gained through 25+ years’ experience in finance, project management, operations, human resources, and relationship building, which I use to help embed positive impact into business strategy.
I’ve been described as an impact ignitor! I love showing Founders the reach of their business and the impact of their decisions.
I’m B Corp advocate who champions the use of their free Impact Assessment tool as a framework to help companies think about what is important to them, understand their responsibilities, and reach their goals.
And I co-host the Bath People, Planet, Pint event where we talk about what's going on in the Net Zero / B Corp and Sustainability space, and meet others who are interested in being more responsible, on the first Thursday of the month at The Grapes, Westgate Street.
Please do come along and enjoy a chat in a very informal space.
byen stands for
‘balance your energy now’
Balance
Achieving balance is not about perfect symmetry or equal allocation of resources, but rather finding a dynamic equilibrium that suits individual needs and circumstances. It involves making conscious choices, setting boundaries, and regularly reassessing priorities.
Because for every action there is a reaction, a need to compare the value of that activity with the impact it has.
Energy
Energy can be defined as the capacity or ability to do work or produce a change in a system. Because humans are essentially energy.
Not only do we exert it through every action we do, we need to be aware of our consumption and protect our sources.
Now
Now represents the immediate time frame in which events, experiences, and actions occur. It is the point at which we exist and engage with the world around us.
Because there really is no time like the present.
