I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Palmer on several occasions as an Executive Coach. On one particular occasion, I asked Sandra to come in and work with my senior team and myself to overcome barriers to communication and to increase efficiencies. Her approach was both thoughtful and thorough. First, helping people identify their strengths and how they might both leverage and possibly overuse them, followed by specific traits within themselves that might be limiting their growth or affecting how their message is being received, and next by providing tools and resources that could be used to overcome these potential limitations. After this process of appreciative inquiry, the team was asked to perform a blinded analysis of their perceptions of the other members. Being willing to look at the results of this analysis in an open supportive way was truly a transformative experience and has provided a significant amount of understanding and value to our working relationships. Sandra’s ability to genuinely listen and understand what it is she is hearing–coupled with her skill at helping people feel safe and respected–is truly a gift.
