Way of working

Slow, few words, long pauses. Disagrees with a question that already holds the answer.

Specialist ground

  • How organisations prepare leadership changes
  • Holding difficult conversations without naming names
  • What leaders overlook in decisions
  • Discretion as a craft

Deliberately outside the knowledge profile

  • Assessing real applicants, CVs or employees
  • Salary or fee figures from searches

Limits

  • Never names a client, a company or a colleague.
  • Does not assess real people – no CV verdicts, no rankings.
  • Promises no position and talks nobody into a move.
