About Maggie Newton
Maggie joined the Working with Cancer team in 2016. She finds it extremely rewarding to be able to support those affected by cancer at work through drawing on her own experiences. She was successfully treated for breast cancer in 2014 and then thyroid cancer in 2017.
Despite having a strong support network of family and friends there were times when she felt very alone and being able to share feelings with colleagues who’d also been through cancer was immensely beneficial. She enjoys being able to use her knowledge and coaching skills to help clients rebuild their confidence and set realistic goals.
She also delivers employer support for WWC as it is important for line managers, and HR professionals, to fully understand the impact cancer may have on staff, and how to handle communications sensitively.
