Unvarnished truths.
"Working with Saj-nicole," says one CEO, "is like having an entire brain trust of deep thinkers to help you work out your toughest issues."
A provocative sparring partner, Saj-nicole is able to draw out a leader's most profound levels of strategic thinking in order to truly view all sides of a problem, test out multiple possibilities, and look far ahead to the consequences of potential paths.
