Meet Lorna Helps

Lorna Helps is the founder of Vibrant Thinking, a business which helps dispersed teams to establish successful ways of working. Prior to setting up her business in 2018 she worked at Procter and Gamble for nearly 20 years.  She was based in Newcastle but worked with teams in London and Geneva so understands the challenges and benefits of hybrid team working. With hybrid working now the new normal for many previously office based teams, her work is more important than ever. Lorna is passionate about using creativity to overcome communication challenges and uses pottery painting as a tool in her workshops. She says you don’t need to see pottery painting as art or requiring artistic ability: it’s a vehicle for facilitating creative thinking to overcome challenges, with the added benefit of being a rewarding and absorbing activity for everyone.  Combining her corporate experience with pottery painting means Vibrant Thinking offers a unique way to empower teams and transform the workplace. 

Om Podcasten

Sending the ladder down is the concept of someone sharing their success to help raise others up. This concept is one that is close to host Kate Cousens' heart as back in 2018 she wrote and self-published a book called ‘Ladder Climbing in High Heels’ where she shared a number of ‘Ladder Lessons’ that she found useful during her 20+ year corporate career (https://amzn.to/2NQpvql). Since then she has gone on to become an advisor working in the SME space helping owners and senior leaders with their personal development and business growth goals.
