Work with Intention

Danielle Heward – recorded on 09/05/2024

Danielle Heward is the owner of Optimo, an operations consultancy dedicated to having a positive impact on people and the planet.

Disheartened by the damage done by mainstream business, she set about creating a company that would promote positive change by elevating those organisations making a genuine difference in the world and has been growing the Optimo team since lockdown, including having her wife join as co-director in January 2023.

Having moved to Leeds in 2016 from Birmingham, Danielle has been inspired by the local business community - she has enjoyed building her business within that context and is excited to continue this journey!

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
