in a personal

19:57 Feb 7, 2013 

There are problems with clarity of intent and with punctuation. Many things are unclear: There should not be a comma between "situation" and "that", there probably should be one between "reaction" and "and", (then there is most likely a missing word or whole truncated passage after "personal", there probably should be a semi-colon between what is missing and "to incite"... It's hard to say. If "focus" is a verb (parallel to "to present but used without "to", then the reapparition of "to" in front of "incite" is puzzling. If "focus" is a noun (create enough of a reaction and a certain quality of focus in a person?) then, the whole sentence is different... Is English the first language of the writer?

I agree. Both interpretations seem possible. If I were you, I would ask the client, there is obviously some kind of mistake here.

The sentence doesn't make sense as it stands and looks as though it was hastily written.I don't feel that it means "in a person" (and in any case you'd say "on a person"); I feel that there's a noun missing after the adjective "personal", e.g "way", "manner", "fashion". Another interpretation would be "to focus on the personal", i.e. on what is personal. Yes, I'm drawn to the latter interpretation.
