Hi, I’m Alana. I’m a consultant here at like minds.
Which is a very vague way of saying that I help pension trustees deliver comms that work for them and their members, as smoothly as possible (and ideally with a bit of excitement and engagement, if I can).
What I’d like to be known for
Brightening someone’s day! At like minds, we’re seriously not serious. What we do matters, but how we do it doesn’t have to be dull. I try to bring passion and humour where I can. But I’m equally committed to delivery and team dynamics – so if a client wants to keep things strictly focused, that’s OK too.
My favourite projects to work on
Newsletters! Little snapshots in time where members can reconnect with their pension scheme and community. There’s usually a lot happening and a lot to bring together. It’s a long game… with a sprint finish.
The thing I can’t live without
Tea. Lots of it. Loose leaf. I usually have about 20 varieties on the go at once.
Why I joined like minds
Pensions + passion + creativity = life goals
If I wasn’t doing this, I’d be...
…a tea sommelier, if such a thing exists
I’m currently...
Obsessed with birds! Regrettably, this obsession hasn’t yet translated into any real ability to identify anything beyond “yep… that’s a bird.”
Every day is a bonus.
