Philippa climbs mountains, swims in the wild and consistently pushes her comfort zone both personally and professionally, even when her heart pumps a little faster! She’s incredibly humble about her achievements, but her drive to expand her comfort zone is infectious – so much so, that I’ve agreed to go wild swimming too! Phillipa chairs the CIPD branch in Cumbria as a volunteer - and her volunteering doesn’t stop there, she’s a triathlon coach too!
