Michelle Mckenzie

I am a highly motivated, people focused individual, dedicated to providing customer service excellence, at every
opportunity to ensure we create better outcomes for our clients and their customers. I believe in building meaningful
relationships with everyone in my team to ensure that I know what their strengths and development areas are, which
allows me to coach, support, and effectively create development plans for each induvial in my team to grow in the
business or to implement performance management strategies to ensure my people and peers thrive and get all the
support and tools needed to excel to ensure that the department reaches all metrics.
I have vast knowledge of risk and compliance as I was operational oversight officer at Thames water and
implemented the Training & Competence scheme at the campaign, assisted with all audits that needed to be
completed by operations to ensure that the campaign is always compliant.
I believe, if serving is below you, Leadership is above you. Leaders are servants to our people.
We are here not to advance ourselves but to advance our people. We are not here to take our people where they want
to be because it's easy or safe, we are here to take them where they ought to be because we know their strength and
potential, even when they don't see this in themselves.
Great leaders don't tell you what to do, they show you how to do it.
This is important to get your people's buy-in and confidence in you. This is where you will LEAD by example and
always do the basics effectively
