## Tactical Playbook
- Facilitate direct access to C-suite decision-makers; her uncompromising, high-candor approach bypasses middle management to preserve creative integrity.
- Embrace her 'state of play' cognitive rhythm. Allow space for high-velocity, intuitive ideation and map-painting counterweights rather than imposing rigid, systematic schedules.
- Leverage her pedagogical presentation style for high-stakes pitching; position her to offer extreme options ('safe' vs. 'scary') while using design history to rationally mitigate client risk.
