Caution and realism are her virtues though Nikki limits herself at times by being too careful, shy or fearful, not believing in herself enough, or lacking the required assertiveness.

The direction Nikki Griffin needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Nikki stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Nikki Griffin has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Nikki Griffin feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Nikki Griffin calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Nikki Griffin needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.
