Joanna Day’s
Biography
Joanna gained her legal qualifications whilst bringing up her family and at the same time progressing up the career ladder to very senior executive roles. She knows what it is like to juggle the challenges of a busy career and parenthood and says it can be done without anyone losing out and without beating yourself up in the process. Joanna worked for a major financial institution for over 30 years during which time she gained unparalleled experience through a number of challenges in the industry and is well placed to recognise the importance of resilience in both self and others.
Over more recent years, Joanna took the opportunity to further diversify her career and like Andrew, regards herself as a business person first and a lawyer second. She continues to parachute into corporate assignments as she enjoys the challenge of trouble-shooting and fixing. She is passionate about people development and making sure that people not only have the right tools to do the job but feel empowered to make a difference.
Joanna has held a number of senior roles, formed and managed many teams over diverse locations so knows how important team dynamics are and how to make them work. She has an honours degree in philosophy and psychology and has developed and delivered a number of programmes that help inspire people to bring out the best in themselves.
Andrew Winfield Biography
After qualifying as a solicitor, specialising in real estate and private client work, Andrew became an equity partner at the tender age of 30 but after realising that equity partnership wasn’t quite as equitable as he thought it would be he set up his own law firm in the summer of 1987. Five years later he was approached by two other lawyers who liked what he had done and together they set up a boutique law firm which steadily grew to a firm of 126.
Owning and running businesses over the years has meant that whilst being a highly successful lawyer Andrew has always regarded himself as a businessman first and when the opportunity arose to take a senior leadership role in a major bank he jumped at it. This experience fuelled his passion for coaching, mentoring and developing both teams and individuals and helping them understand and realise their full potential.
Always with an eye to the future, Andrew incorporated Excelcium Consulting Limited as a means of enabling him to realise his vision of setting up his own management consultancy business and a few years later, after another people development role in financial services, he started utilising his many years of experience to advise boards and the senior management teams of SMEs on team and personal development and also other operational aspects relevant to the running of their businesses.
Andrew has a passion for helping people thrive and is fascinated by neuroscience. He has delivered many thought provoking sessions to groups both large and small in small businesses and large corporates. All his sessions are highly factual, based on hours of research but more importantly, engaging and memorable.
