Taking time to get to the heart of the matter

Sometimes it’s hard to see what’s right in front of you. You need a fresh pair of eyes to point out the obvious. Sometimes we’re too caught up in day-to-day routine to truly appreciate what’s around us.

That’s why, I decided in August to step back and take a long, hard look at everything Themis (the apprenticeship and business training arm of Burnley College).

It was difficult. Everyone who knows me recognises that I’m hands-on and like to be at the heart of everything. But it had to be done. You can’t see where you’re going until you know where you’ve been – and where you are right now.
