Eps 001: From PA to CEO with Paula Chadwick, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

Paula shares her journey of starting out with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation as a PA, to today where she runs the whole organisation as Chief Executive.

She shares her experiences and challenges in believing she was good enough, making the transition to more and more senior roles and transforming a board that lacked trust and diversity into one that really works.

Paula's story is entertaining and fascinating and there are some great insights for business people at all levels.

Over the past 25 years she helped the Foundation expand from its base in the North West to build a nationwide presence as the only UK charity focusing solely on lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer of both men and women. Every year 45,000 people are diagnosed and unfortunately 35,000 people die in the first 12 months. The Foundation is determined to change this. It funds research into early detection of lung cancer and provides information, support, help and hope to patients and their families. Their mission is to have a world where no one dies of lung cancer.

Paula is a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, with a Master’s Degree in Personnel and Development. She enjoys the theatre, scuba diving and dancing – especially the charity’s own ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fundraising event.
