#3 Conversation with Charlotte Fielder MBE - From Law Enforcement to Love in Action

After 33 years in law enforcement, Charlotte Fielder MBE followed a burning desire to open the final chapter of her career in service of something deeper.In this episode, Charlotte joins Jayne to trace her remarkable journey - from Lead on Volunteering at a Thames Hospice, to 8 years Head of the Volunteer and Fostering team at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home - and what she discovered about human nature, purpose and the power of core values along the way.Charlotte shares why you can train skills but who people are at their core is what truly motivates them to give their time for causes they love, and why volunteering in animal welfare carries a grief and emotional weight that is often under estimated.And of course, Jayne asks the question at the heart of every episode - are you really fine?Charlottes answer may surprise you - as she wisely reflects, sometimes we are the very last ones to know when we’re not okay - and the stories we tell ourselves can be the most convincing of all.Charlotte speaks in a personal capacity and views expressed are her own. linkedin.com/in/charlotte-fielder-mbe-she-her-59190514EF training exists because nobody should have to pour from an empty cup.
