Then, prior to working with Talking Talent, Harriet was a Principal for 7 years with rogenSi, a consultancy specialising in leadership, change and growth. She says: “I don’t let clients off the hook and keep encouraging my clients to raise the bar. I have a strong sense of integrity and have huge empathy for my client’s circumstances. I also inject humour into sessions and passionately believe that we are more successful when we are enjoying ourselves.”
