Meet The People Person

My aim is simple - to help people be happier, healthier and more successful by getting the best out of themselves and those around them.

Ever since I've been little I’ve been interested in people - what makes us tick, what makes us successful, what makes us happy, and why some people just seem to be able to connect better with other people than others do. It’s the main reason I started my career in HR over 2 decades ago. Over the years I held several leadership roles across a range of industries and well known brands and undertook extensive personal development in the field of people, various forms of psychology and personal wellbeing. Self-employment runs in my family though and turns out I’m no exception. In 2019 I brought it all together and set up The People Person Ltd. The rest, as they say, is history.

Warm, credible, insightful and real, I blend my experience and passions by working with people and businesses mainly in the music, creative and retail industries. Music’s always been a huge part of my life, whether as an avid fan, a semi-pro live-music photographer back in the day, volunteering with Music Support, or supporting clients across the industry with their careers and wellbeing these days. Last year I went on tour across the UK & Europe as part of the crew for a major British artist. It was as fun as it sounds. Now I’m keen to bring even more of that experience into my work with The People Person.

The People Person is more than just me however. Depending on your needs, I draw upon a strong personal network of carefully cultivated ‘People People’. They are talented associate experts & colleagues who also help clients uncover their potential and make a powerful and positive impact in the world. Could you be next?

Hi, I’m Lara. I’m the chief people person.

 My Credentials

I’ve trained and worked hard to earn my stripes and make sure you’re in safe hands and achieve the outcomes you’re looking for. I didn't find a spiritual calling after an ayahuasca experience in the jungle or finding myself in Nepal. In an unregulated and highly saturated industry like coaching and personal development, when you work with me you can be confident you're dealing with someone who is qualified, experienced, who operates with ethics and integrity, and who walks their talk.
