Daphne

As a Managing Consultant, Daphne works with multiple clients around the world to help improve their talent hiring and development programs.

My first role after graduation was a job at Canning, a partner of SA in Tokyo, Japan, who are a Talent Development Consultancy.

After finishing my Master's thesis on the impact of different leadership styles in Japan I was looking for work experience in Tokyo and through an event at the British Chamber of Commerce got in touch with a coach who worked at Canning. She introduced me to the organization and this is where I started my career. I really enjoyed that I got the opportunity to get involved in different types of work at Canning, from organizing events, marketing, skills training delivery and assessments, but it was the assessment-related work that really made me tick.

I loved living in Japan, but after a number of years I really wanted to move bit closer to home (the Netherlands for me) so looked at opportunities in London.

My first choice was to work for Saville. I loved working with the tools in Japan and had a really great impression of the culture at Saville. When working for the partner organization, I visited one of the fantastically-organized International Conferences from Saville and absolutely loved the people, professionalism of the organization, and great energy in the team!

I work in the Consultancy team, where we support our clients with the implementation of assessment solutions across the talent cycle to help them hire, build and lead talent. The role is a combination of business development, account management and delivery.

I really love the variation and enjoy the commercial aspects of the role, which aligns well with my background in economics. On the other hand, I also thoroughly enjoy delivering leadership assessments, spending time with people, understanding their behavioral preferences and really learning about what drives and motivates them is fascinating.

I manage a small part of our consultancy team and absolutely love this part of the job.
