What were you most proud of from last year?
There have been a few, so I’ll give you 2…
Professionally – I completed a CIPD qualification and am now a Chartered Member of the CIPD. Although I’m not big on qualifications or initials after your name, I found this an interesting journey.

Again, so many… I attended a conference as a trainer a couple of years ago and had the great pleasure of meeting and listening to the inspirational Reverend Ruth Scott, the guest speaker that evening.
If I was alone on a desert island, I would need to have (3 luxuries that don’t include family members, pets or friends)…

• A memory foam mattress – my days of sleeping on the floor are mostly behind me!
My favourite place in the world is…
Do I have to pick just the one? :) Snowdonia National Park – wherever I roam, Wales is still my spiritual home.

Meet Coach In The Spotlight - Julie Hutchison
After taking maternity leave from the police I went back to my old role in 2008 but was less than inspired so had some coaching to help me work out what I wanted to do. I was on a conference for women in policing when I first realised that it was possible to re-train to do something much more inspirational. An ex-police officer was working as a coach at the conference and that was when I knew coaching was for me!
