“The mind that holds the problem, holds the solution.”
She follows Nancy Kline principles : the quality of everything we do as a leader depends on the quality of the thinking we do first. She knows a leadership role is often reactive rather than proactive and that it is hard to set aside time to think and process.
If you appoint a coach , you start the journey of securing that all important reflection time. She offers an initial free chemistry call.
