With a background in psychology and as managing director of a major training centre in London, Judith moved into business consultancy, working globally with senior leaders and managers. Her commitment to people and workplace culture led her to spend a year with Great Place to Work UK during the production of the 2002 100 Best Companies to Work For list for the Sunday Times, to develop her understanding of what makes a company great. In the course of that work, she visited a number of the great companies in both the UK and the USA.

This experience, plus many conversations with a wide range of senior leaders from 'great' to 'difficult' cultures, focused her thinking and led her to set up Great Companies Consulting, to support companies in building workplaces that make a positive contribution to the life of employees whilst being successful in the market place. This expertise informed her first book, Becoming an Employer of Choice. In 2004, she wrote Inspirational Manager, which led many middle and senior managers to review their style and ways of working, producing improved business results. Her latest book, The Psychology of Success, was published recently.
