At our staff conference recently Caroline chaired a session with 250 people and launched the consultation phase to inform the development of our People Strategy.  Given her extensive experience, Caroline could listen to feedback from the floor and get to the nub of the issue without delay to fully capture the essence of what was being shared. This session was well received by all, and was smoothly curated and directed in real-time by Caroline. I look forward to working with Caroline again on future events.
