Romaine's honest and transparent style enables her to quickly develop a rapport with clients and facilitates an open and real exchange from a very early stage. She has a positive approach, encouraging individuals to capitalise on their strengths as well as working on their development needs. She considers that authenticity ('being oneself') and having fun are essential ingredients to a successful working environment.
