Judith Germain is a Leadership Consultant specialising in working with wilfully independent people who demonstrate maverick behaviour. She calls these individuals Troublesome Talent™. These people are your top performers who experience difficulty with interacting with their colleagues in an effective way. This means there is often a dichotomy of having a top performer achieving their targets in a way that may lead to staff morale issues, and depressed performance in others.
She has worked with senior teams and Board members in wide ranging and diverse industries such as Finacial Services, Defence, Security, Retail, Media, and Quasi public sector.
Judith is a specialist in developing leadership talent, social and emotional intelligence in leaders, executive coaching, and human behaviour and motivation. She combines her experience of senior level strategic and operational HR to enable organisations to increase their performance and business results through the effective use of their people.
Judith enables managers to become better leaders and to be more flexible in their leadership style. This ensures that they can achieve the business objectives that they need to and the ability to influence their employees and peers to deliver increased performance. She firmly believes that leadership is about gaining and maintaining the right level of influence to achieve the desired results.
