Scribble Talk Teaching Episode 22 with Laura-Jane Turner on Lessons learnt and lessons shared

Send us Fan MailLJ is the Director of Bids and Frameworks for Jigsaw24, based in Nottingham, where she draws on all of the knowledge she’s gained in her 20+ years career. After completing her Management and Technology BSc(Hons) degree at Brunel University, LJ moved into IT Sales with a Telco, which established her love of all things technology based. She moved into Bid Management in 1998 when she got so exasperated with poor sales contracts, she decided to move down the chain and ensure quality tenders would result in quality contracts! Since then, she has supported over £4bn of bids and worked in industries from Oil and Gas, to Rail, to Business Processes, to IT – introducing Governance and Process to many of her roles. She is a passionate mentor, encouraging and supporting internal colleagues and supporting women from all walks of life, being recognised in 2021 as Exec Mentor of the Year for the CRN Women in Channel Awards, and Mentor of the Year in the East Midlands Business Awards. LJ is actively involved in groups aiming to drive female engagement in STEM, IT and Technology. Her leadership and expertise were critical in winning a key Public Sector Covid project that saw Jigsaw24 rolling out 7,500 devices a week to the NHS.  Focal points: How we learn from our colleaguesHow we share learningWhat lessons I have taught (and the ones I thought I was sharing!)Teaching and mentoring styles and unconscious role modelsSupport the show
