We continue to look at Education in a Digital Age, which explores the latest news, trends and Government announcements affecting parents, children and professionals involved in the education sector. In this episode, Robert Lewis, Head of Education at Mishcon de Reya, talks with James Murray, Senior Associate at Taylor Vinters, about the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill currently progressing through Parliament. What is the status of the Bill? What will it mean for Higher Education institutions, academics, and students? Is there really a problem with the stifling of free speech on campus? If so, will the bill be the answer? Mishcon Academy: Digital Sessions are a series of online events, videos and podcasts looking at the biggest issues faced by businesses and individuals today.
Chief Executive Matt Meyer describes how Taylor Vinters has used an identity-led approach to to clarify and strengthen their purpose. We discuss changes in the legal market that led to them fundamentally reinventing the way they work with clients. And he describes “disorganisation” as a practical alternative to the slow and inflexible top-down model of cascading a strategy through roles and objectives.
Purpose, like people, can evolve. What was on the radar 12 years ago is not necessarily what should be on it today.

The show for YOU the busy professional who wants to live a healthier and happier life with increased energy and productivityUncovering Your Sleep TroublesI'm YOUR host: Jackie GrantGuest :- Joanne ShuretyAbout JoanneI spent the first 15 years of my career in HR, across a number of sectors and size organisations, progressing to leadership roles. This varied career gave me first-hand experience of the importance of both mental and physical resilience in myself and others and the impact on performance, creativity, attrition and absence. Finding my own passion and path to good health led me to re-train and become a qualified accredited (UKHCA) Health Coach and Nutritional Therapist in March 2017. Since then I have taken both my HR and coaching expertise to a wide range of one-to-one clients supporting them to take control of their health, improve their energy and resilience and avoid burnout.Some of my coaching goes into my programmes offered to companies and organisations, but my focus is very much on identifying what can be done (no matter how big or small) and removing the obstacles in a world that often makes good health difficult to achieve and prioritise.I have worked with both large organisations such as Lloyds Banking Group, Hargreaves Lansdown and WWT as well as smaller, niche businesses such as Cambridge Pixel and Taylor Vinters. My passion to help people find that balance in their lives so that they thrive extends to talks and workshops into schools and I am proud to volunteer my time to E.L.S.A. I have been fortunate to contribute to articles in Natural Health, Top Sante and Bella Magazine and featuring on North Herts Radio Wellness Hour.I live with my husband and Son in Ware, Hertfordshire. In my spare time I love working out, volunteering for The Royal British Legion, ELSA CIC as well as my Sons rugby team.I also volunteer for the UK Health Coaches Association assisting them with HR and Operational strategy.
