Lee Fisher commented: “I’m delighted to be joining Lane4 and to be utilising my performing arts skills to address people development issues in a new environment. Each individual, team or business department will have their unique employee engagement and development concerns. I’m looking forward to working closely with them to help them meet these challenges.”
Ruth Cavender, head of human resources at Lane4 commented: “We’re always on the look out for talented individuals. We’re not necessarily looking for qualified trainers. Instead, like Lee, we’re seeking candidates from diverse backgrounds who don’t necessarily meet set criteria regarding qualifications but they have a ‘degree in excellence.’ From our experience, candidates from the worlds of psychology, organisational development, performance and elite sport make great Lane4 performance consultants.”
