Case study: supporting leadership in work
Julie is a social worker who has spent her career supporting children and colleagues in social care. A neurological condition and subsequent diagnosis of hydrocephalus turned her life upside down, requiring neurosurgery and a long recovery. Although the surgery was successful, Julie was left with persistent fatigue and significant memory difficulties—something she hadn’t expected to affect her so deeply.
“In my pre-brain injury life, I would have been able to take notes, keep up, and then remember everything I hadn’t written down. That’s now just… an absence.”
Returning to work wasn’t easy. As a senior leader and mentor to early-career social workers, Julie needed to engage in long meetings, give feedback, and retain complex information—tasks made difficult by her post-injury cognitive fatigue. She began using Recallify as a support tool.
“We had some recent training days—four hours of sitting and listening. I can’t manage that like I used to. But with Recallify, I could record, and later read the summary. It filled in the gaps my brain missed.”
Julie now records meetings, training days, and observations using the app.
Recallify isn’t just for work. Julie uses it at parents’ evenings and school information events for her children. These sessions often overload her with unnecessary details, making it hard to extract the practical information she needs.
“It helps me filter. I just need to know: when does the trip leave, what does she need, and where does she need to be. I can capture that clearly in Recallify and set reminders without having to sort through piles of handouts.”
The convenience of having everything on her phone—recordings, reminders, documents, and memory-refresh quizzes—means Julie can better balance her professional and personal life.
“I use it every week to get on with life. For work, for family, for living in the moment—then going back later to find what I forgot.”
