Alongside her consultancy work, she is a published author whose book, 'Flashpoint Transformation: Life’s Choices Ready to Jump or Waiting to be Pushed?', offers practical frameworks for executives seeking meaningful organisational progress. She has also contributed her expertise as a BBC external speaker and is the creator of the SELF model, a tool for leaders to balance logic and emotion when making critical decisions.
