Caroline Burton has a portfolio career which includes roles as an independent advisor to local authority pension plans and a NED role.  She previously spent over 25 years at the Guardian Royal Exchange, where she was promoted to manager at the age of 28.  She retired from that organization in 1999 and has since built a portfolio career.  Our conversation starts in what seems like an entirely different era in the City - during the mid 1970s.  Top hats were in vogue, gentlemen's dining clubs were the rage and diversity was not high on the agenda. Caroline encountered her fair share of sexism in her early career, but nonetheless made her way through management ranks, and shares some of her strategies for success. We reflect also on how the industry has changed, and where progress has been lagging. When she retired over 20 years ago she moved to a full portfolio career of committee and non executive director roles, and we discuss where these differ from executive roles.As an experienced committee member she has a a clear sense of where non executive roles differ from executive roles - in particular that the mantra should be "eyes on, hands off" and that observing and listening to the direction of travel and then opining on it can be a key value added of the non executive director. This podcast was supported by Speaking with Images, a company focused on motivational speaking, focused on increasing resilience, improving communication and building better workplace culture. https://www.jennysegal.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

76. Caroline Burton - "Eyes On, Hands Off": Discipline in Non-Executive Roles 

Hi. Twenty years ago today... no, not Sgt. Pepper, me... I ran a Writers Workshop at The Point, Doncaster Arts Centre. Writers attended from the whole of Yorkshire and Humberside, 40 of them at one time at some of the events. This compilation is the result of a sound recording workshop we ran one weekend. The tracks were recorded and polished by none other than John Robinson of Geordiegit fame. Enjoy the variety,  Bill

Men Who Write Poems by Caroline Burton

Caroline is an award winning felter and fibre artist living here in New Zealand.We met by chance only to discover that she had made the most gorgeous garments in the Creative Fibre Fashion show that I was helping with backstage. When Caroline then won the show with her elegant "Salvation" red merino and silk felted evening dress I knew I had to make sure she chatted to us on the podcast! Caroline had a background in sewing but these were her first felted garments. I was so impressed! What a brave move to try something new and then put it to a vote!Caroline has been felting for about ten years, slowly learning her craft while she raised her young children. More recently she's embraced the title of "artist" and is enjoying the journey that her new role is taking her.
