I am so thrilled to have the amazing Sandra J Burke OBE as my guest this week, talking about how we can get on with all ages. I found this SO useful and inspiring.
Sandra’s long and successful career spanned both the public and private sectors in Scotland, working in leadership roles with Scottish Enterprise, the Care Inspectorate and as a senior operational civil servant in DWP. She was the first woman in almost 200 years to become Chief Executive of the Chamber of Commerce in the city of Dundee, where she initiated a much need programme of change and modernisation.
She was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to economic development and social care in Scotland; and was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts in 2018.
Now semi-retired, Sandra has several small business interests and is an active social justice campaigner. She is an ambassador, volunteer and trustee for several charities. She also recently launched her latest change project, Mind the Generation Gap, to help improve awareness and understanding of the challenges posed in the workplace, and for communities, of harmonising the needs of the five living generations.
