“Jane has a charming and fun personality, but also a natural sensitivity and perception to the commercial and emotional needs of others.”
“She is very relaxed at handling and managing people irrespective of their roles, status,
age or nationality. All of this makes it easy for her to overcome the barriers to
communication at all levels and to facilitate problem-solving.”
"The biggest danger of any emotionally charged, intensive, time compressed activity is that you can’t recognise situations for what they might become. You have brought to us hindsight from the future."
