I have found her ability to connect with an audience particularly skillful, whether engaging with small or large groups.

Anonymous feedback from the judges of the International Facility Management Association's Award of Excellence, Distinguished Author of a Book:

• "The Critical Influence approach to solving the problem of conflicting objectives (reducing costs and enhancing performance in the workplace) is compelling. It resonates at the core of our business objectives."
• "The concept of the Critical Influence System is very powerful & comprehensive, and seeks to bring a 360 approach to understanding the work environment--one that speaks the language of senior management.
