Kate Selway was the former People and Capability Director for Jade Software, based in Christchurch on the South Island of New Zealand.
Kate has a passion and obvious empathy for people that have been shaped by a background in psychology. She has had a successful career in HR (a term she greatly detests), enjoyed various People & Culture roles, and relished her time at Jade Software.
Kate delivered Crucial Conversations training to the organisation, and her work in driving culture created a significant shift to much more openness and engagement.
Combining the power of People, Data and Software to create unique customer experiences, Jade Software delivers business-critical software for a range of industries including banking, insurance, agriculture, retail, aviation security and more.
In this podcast, Kate’s passion around their leadership development was obvious. She drove a strong focus around redefining the organisation’s values, as well as the implementation of soft skills.
