Describe your role at Time Finance in 10 words or less
Strategy development, empowering people and holding them accountable for delivery.
How do you plan for a productive day?
I don’t like to-do lists so I use the Time Box technique, which was developed at Harvard University and is widely used. Following this technique, I tackle the least desirable task first and allocate time to everything I want to do. I prioritise my focus and try to avoid tasks that don’t add value. I also treat exercise as a daily commitment to myself. I try to wake up early and workout to get it done for the day and I include this in my time block with the same importance as other important tasks, which definitely correlates with a healthy and productive workday.
What are the key elements to a successful broker/lender relationship at Time Finance?
It’s important to build trust and be able to articulate credit appetite and unique selling points. Consistency is key and the more consistent we are the more successful the relationship.
