About us > Our team > Aspasia Simillidou Theodosiou





Aspasia combines a strong HR background with the practical experience of working in retail, both as shop floor assistant and store manager in her student days. She is a graduate of King’s College, London, earning her Masters in Human Resource Management & Organisational Analysis.


 
She then joined one of Cyprus’ biggest fashion brand importers. Her responsibilities included recruitment and training of shop floor staff, to maintain the high standards the business demanded. She created customer service training material, delivered the training and monitored on-going implementation of the training. Wanting to extend herself beyond customer service training Aspasia joined PeopleAchieve in 2008.

She specialises in customer service processes, effective telephone communication, emotional intelligence, communication skills and culture change processes. To create deep and lasting performance improvements for her participants, Aspasia uses practical aspects of emotional intelligence in her training. She has worked in high-profile projects both in Cyprus and the Middle East, for multi-nationals. She is a guest at conferences, where her lively presentation style has captivated large audiences. Aspasia’s appearances at TV shows give her the chance to share her knowledge with the general public. She also does that through her various publications.

In addition, Aspasia is now towards gaining her PhD in Human Resource Management, focussing her research on emotional labor and its relationship to job satisfaction, development, and burnout. She is researching the concept of emotional labor in the Cyprus Banking Industry.

Beyond that, Aspasia always loved writing. She has written a novel that will be published soon.
