She facilitates leaders to explore a range of options to address different situations, developing comfort and skill with a repertoire of styles appropriate to varying contexts and reporting relationships. She finds that helping people to understand their own true style – which may be different from that adopted in order to fit with organisational norms – builds on natural strengths and increases confidence. This enables a review of any blind spots to identify alternative strategies and consider different perspectives.
