Nadene Winchester - ESFJ - SDG 10 & 13

On paper, Nadene works in an HR and Wellbeing leadership role. But behind the job titles is someone redefining what impact really looks like. She is the person who notices what’s missing - and gently fills the gap with care, fairness, and action.

Nadene’s superpower is knowing that leadership doesn’t need to be loud - it needs to be consistent, conscious, and values-aligned. For her, the SDGs aren’t just goals - they’re guides for living: Climate Action (#13) and Reduced Inequalities (#10) show up in how she hires, communicates, and leads.

☕ Soft Skills That Lead Without Shouting

Nadene Winchester shows us what quiet leadership looks like in action:

🌱 Climate action and everyday sustainability: She swaps plastic bottles for shampoo bars and gently nudges colleagues to choose keep cups over landfill cups. Small acts, huge ripples.

🤝 Reducing inequalities: She’s the steady advocate behind inclusive hiring, fair pay, clearer career pathways, and safe spaces for everyone to belong at work - from neurodiverse engineers to colleagues observing Ramadan.

🐕 Humour + Husky Therapy: Nadene reminds us that laughter softens the heavy stuff. And yes - she’ll vouch that a dramatic husky is the best reminder that life doesn’t have to be so serious.

🌟 Leading from behind: Workplaces can feel dominated by loud voices, but Nadene models how being patient, observant, and fair creates teams that trust deeply, stay longer, and thrive sustainably.

💫 Soft skills that make hard things possible: Kindness, inclusion, fairness, steady curiosity, and sausage rolls (the famous kind people insist she brings to work potlucks - recipe a secret, sorry folks!).

✨ Wisdom She Lives By:

“I don’t need to be pushy to make an impact. I bring different strengths. I just like to make a difference for others - every day.”

🍃 Nadene’s Human CV (so far):

Integrity over urgency. Long game over quick wins. Quietly challenging norms, one policy, one porridge, one husky walk at a time.
