My name's Preeti Chaudhary, I'm 27 years old, and I'm a lean change agent.
I started in the graduate programme which meant in my very first 18 months I got a flavour of 3 different types of roles,
and that helped me think about what I wanted to do.
It was a very flexible graduate programme compared to other companies.
A lean change agent is a role where you go into different business areas and completely transform them,
but working with people rather than doing it to them.
But you're taught a lot of skills to help you support those people and get them through the change curve.
You need to be confident, you need to be good at building relationships, because we're taking people on an emotional journey.
I feel very proud at the end of a project, when you can look back and see where you started and what you've achieved,
and proud for the people who've come a long way.
I love the fact that my job is very very varied, and I'm continually learning, and I'm continually developing other people at the same time.
Glass painting's a hobby that I picked up back in school, I'm quite a creative person.
It's something that's very different to what I'm doing at work; it's not pressured, it's kind of relaxing.
I like transforming things, so from something that's quite plain into something that's beautiful.
