Holly Martin

Hi there,

Get to know other members in the Community and take a minute to introduce yourself in the comments below. If you're feeling at a loss for words and need a little inspiration, tell us where you’re from, your role, how you use or hope to use Thomas Talks, and a fun fact or two about yourself. We love to learn about your interests and hobbies! Bonus points if you add a photo!

I'll start. I'm Holly, part of the community team here at Thomas. I'm also interning as an AI marketing specialist, delving into all things AI and exploring how it could potentially enhance our marketing operations. I live in Buckinghamshire (where our HQ is based) and have recently graduated from the University of Brighton. If you haven't already, Brighton is a must-visit!

Now it's your turn. Comment below ⬇️

Claire Dwight

Hi,

I'm Claire and I've been a trainer at Thomas for almost 9 years!! I love our assessments and to see their impact when people want to be the best version of themselves they can be. I enjoy working with people and even though most of my time is spent on a virtual platform, I'm still able to generate great relationships with customers and colleagues. I work for the best team in Thomas!!! 😀

I live in the north of England very close to Manchester airport which is great as I love to travel! My greatest passion is reading but I also have a slight addiction to TikTok. 😊

Gareth Jones

Hi there 👋🏻 Im Gareth and I am the Chief Product Officer for Thomas which I guess means the buck stops with me when it comes to the quality and efficacy of our products. I lead the product team which includes our engineering, product, design and science (Data Science, Psychology and Content) colleagues and I am a member of the executive team.

I have been in the People and Technology space for nearly three decades, starting my career in HR. I have been in People Science and building solutions in this space for over 10 years - its a bit of a passion of mine!

I live in Amersham in the UK and have two grown up kids, a son 20 and a daughter 23. And I obsessively only wear black t shirts! 🤣 Thats me on the right in the pic below at a recent event with one of our partners, Team Tailor, wearing said t shirt!

I'm here to connect and engage so feel free to ping me 👍🏻

Lucy Beirne

Hi everyone! I'm Lucy and I'm in the marketing team. I do all things copywriting and marketing with our partners who champion Thomas all over the world. I'm new to Team Thomas, and am happy to report that everyone is super nice and there are several dogs running around the office!

I'm a keen netball player, writer and reality tv addict 😀

Looking forward to connecting with our new community 🙌

AlexC

Hi!

I'm Alex, and I'm a trainer here at Thomas International. I've worked for Thomas for 11 years, in a number of roles such as client development consultant, people manager and unofficial social committee (pre-Covid I loved to walk round the office on a Friday encouraging people out to the local pub!). I've been a trainer for 4 years, and I absolutely love my role - working as part of a global team, and spending my time with our clients or building cool content that engages them.

I live in Marlow, UK (10 minutes walk from the office - we moved to be closer to HQ!). I met my husband at Thomas in my second week of employment, so you could probably say that Thomas has had quite an impact on my life.

I love to read about psychological insights into how people tick and can enhance their skill sets, and outside the office I have a passion for food and enjoy horror movies from all eras (I'd be great in a pub quiz on that topic!).

I'd love to connect with other community members, so feel free to get in touch!

KJay

Hello everyone, I'm Keeley from the UK and I completed my Thomas PPA in the summer of 2022! IT seems like a long time ago since completing this brilliant training and since then my coaching clients have benefitted from the assessment.

Whilst executive coaching is my main focus, after 30 years working in the NHS, I also work in healthcare consultancy in the North West UK. Understanding personality and behavioural assessments and their impact in the NHS has always been of great interest to me and I am looking forward to networking with others on their practice.

Hi everyone!

I'm Audrey and I am part of the Professional Services team here at Thomas. I am based in South Africa. I ABSOLUTELY love our Thomas assessments and I have been privileged to leverage my deep understanding of psychometrics to empower clients in optimizing their workforce through insightful assessments and tailored solutions, also a great way to meet and interact with people!

I am a dog-mom, love socialising, doing things that give me an adrenaline rush and love painting!

Below you'll see members of the AMAZING Professional Services team in their element! 😎

Looking forward to interacting and networking with you all!🤩

Sorina

Hi there, Thomas Community!

I am Sorina Bradea and since 1998 we are Thomas partner in Romania. Trainer, consultant and coach, I am using Psychometric tools in development projects and also in coaching sessions. I am also doing Thomas training in Romanian and English for SMEs and multinational companies.

Looking forward to be part of the community in order to continue to grow the business and to overcome obstacles.

My favorite programs are those that have a strong ROI both on companies and people. This is why we are implementing ROI methodology in our development programs.

SusanS

Hi community

I'm a Psychometrist based in Somerset West, Cape Town. I have a small practice and work with associates all around the country. I also provide coaching and development, and work closely with a trainer associate to provide soft skills training and development.

As a SIOPSA committee member, acting as part of the voice for Psychometrists at various levels and spaces, I try to make a difference within this space.

I'ma also a wellness Counsellor, registered with ASCHP, and hoping to use the TEIQue as the baseline for conversations in coaching and employee wellness.

Looking forward to being part of this community.

Sorina

Hi Susan! I found the TEIQ an excellent start for coaching sessions. Also I have an ICF coach as client who is considering that TEIQ, PPA and the 360 is the ideal combination for a qualitative coaching program!

Nice to know, thanks Corina:)

Elcke

Hello lovely people!

I am Elcke, a trainer at Thomas, qualified as a research psychologist and psychometrist here in Pretoria, South Africa.

I have worked at Thomas for almost a year now and am thrilled to be part of an organisation that is in such an interesting phase in its lifecycle, where groundbreaking innovation and creativity are front and centre, but also an established reputation in the market is being upheld and grown at the same time. As a business owner myself, this is really inspiring stuff!

I love working as part of a truly global team (see Claire's photo of the awesome Training team above), and also getting to "meet" people from across the globe in our training sessions on a regular basis. Training on our tools is just as much a learning experience for me as it is for our delegates, and that is an aspect of my job that I'm truly grateful for - ALWAYS learning!

In my spare time, I can be found researching ways to create more spare time, hiking, torturing myself at the gym, singing in front of my piano or guitar, reading (war novels and classics, mostly), or goofing around with my 3-year-old! 😜

Excited to connect with fellow professionals on this platform - high I and Curiosity over here, so please feel free to reach out (both friendly banter and intellectual sparring highly welcomed)! 😁
