#059: Leading Change in Social Care with Ali Bulman

Delivering the re-set and recovery of adult social care services, as a result of a global pandemic, is far from being a one-woman mission. But for a woman who understands the value of creating a team, knows how to get the best out of them and isn’t afraid to surround herself with people who bring different strengths to her own, nothing is insurmountable.

Ali is on a mission to lead that recovery in Cornwall, while continuing her life-long personal mission to overcome the variety of challenges and obstacles that get in the way of delivering quality services for local residents.  And for Ali, it really is personal.

In this deeply honest conversation,  Ali Bulman shares how her journey of leadership started with volunteering, becoming part of a bigger family and finding joy in enabling independence. She has spent her career developing an understanding of the ‘beautifully complex’ and learning what really matters to the people she is there to serve.

Determined to deliver the very best she can, for those who are often the most vulnerable in society, Ali is the recently appointed Strategic Director for Care and Wellbeing in Cornwall Council. Her mission is guided by a strong sense of who she is (and isn’t!) and her personal commitment to being a leader who remains true to the people around her and her own deepest values.

This episode is for anyone who wants to learn more about the sweetspot in leadership where you can be the very best you can be - without compromising your own values & beliefs, and identity or purpose, OR the needs of those you are here to serve.
