Case `I've noticed you and Adriano seem to be getting on much better. You must have been really listening in our meeting about managing conflicts,' you say, kick starting Natalie's performance review off on a positive note.
She nods, 'My conversation with Adriano did make him more aware his behaviour but it really made me more aware of my own behaviour.'
'How so?'
'Well, I really took to heart what you said about having a clear purpose and not vilifying people and I realised I was telling myself a story about Adriano's behaviour and judging him. My purpose didn't have anything to do with our relationship or achieving an outcome, I just wanted to punish him for the way he was making me feel.'

Identify Natalie's preferred thinking style function and come up with a change you could make to the review to better suit her preference.
