About Sally Gritten

I am an American who has lived in England since 1989 and I have enjoyed a variety of business roles as a worker, manager and leader.  In my current role I enjoy teaching, public speaking, consulting and coaching.

Through my work I connect with individuals and organisations focussing on moving forward in a world which we can neither predict nor control.  I do this through the use of human systems dynamics to shift my clients' perspectives, so they can view chaos as a reality to be influenced rather than one which must be avoided or controlled.  That shift creates endless possibilities for acting and reacting in our complex world.  The real-world application of HSD allows change without control.  This self-organising process is truly liberating for leaders, managers and consultants in complex business systems.
