Using Paradox Theory which leverages the Eastern world view,Corinna's research sheds insights on managing the competing demands of leading and working in highly dynamic contexts, including start-ups, innovation teams and large organisations undergoing change and transformation, Corinna's interest in applying an eastern lens to the challenges of organisational settings is coupled with her activity as a Vedic meditation teacher.
