Listening to what leaders want to accomplish.
"I was completely humbled by your assessment of my areas of strength, but it was the accuracy of the complete picture that I found so astonishing. To test my initial impressions, I shared your summary with a recent manager, a recent direct report, and a trusted peer. Their responses were (and I quote): 'Wow,' 'This is eerie,' and 'She was able to do this with just a handful of tests and a one-hour interview?' The consensus: you are exceptionally talented at what you do."

This is what sets Megan apart, a client-centric style that creates space for leaders to be fully seen and understood, paired with the psychological expertise to translate those insights into meaningful action.
