• Kalum Figura, Retail Sales Manager, Rogers Radio Ottawa, June 2010“As a speaker and trainer, Sylvia is a refreshing alternative to many in her field. Her style is relaxed, warm and inviting. Sylvia allows the group to take ownership of the content resulting in engaging dialogue and lasting observations.”
• Steve D. February 2010“Sylvia played a key role in my transition from company that recently down sized to the next opportunity. During this transition, Sylvia served as my career coach. She quickly built trust, laid the foundation for a winning strategy and offered objective feedback as we worked towards landing my "ideal" job. I highly recommend Sylvia as a top notch career coach.”
• Jennifer D., October 2008“I have recognized great gains both personally and professionally during [the last 18 months], which I strongly attribute to the work we have done together. As our coaching relationship has developed, I have been taking a more assertive role; this is due to the fact that Sylvia's approach to coaching models, teaches and encourages the creativity and resourcefulness within the client. Because of Sylvia I am becoming, in essence, my own coach. This gives me great confidence that the gains I have made are real and sustainable, not dependent on the coaching relationship continuing for years.”
• Wayne G., August 2006“Sylvia’s ability to listen carefully to my issues and reflect back my responses in such a way that they resonate with me, has been the secret to the recent successes I have achieved in my professional life. I owe my success in moving from a Project Manager position to a Vice President position to her expertise in coaching me through the process. I highly recommend the coaching process as a professional tool and would encourage anyone who is committed to taking the leap to the next level of their career to enrol Sylvia as your professional coach.”
• Bill Caswell, Principal, Career Coaching International, October 2008“Sylvia has worked with: academics, accountants, administrators, auto parts distributors, bankers, construction workers, economists, engineers, entrepreneurs, executives, healthcare workers, HR people, managers, Ph.D.’s, sales people, etc. Sylvia’s work has always been exemplary. Her strengths include her listening skills, her patience and her ability to direct the person to form their own conclusions out of a morass of conflicting pieces of information. Yet, she doesn’t let her clients slack off from the goal ahead. Her own career, including her scientific and IT backgrounds, make her empathetic and understanding of many clients’ perspectives. “
• Craig S., October 2006“Sylvia's questions helped to guide me to my own solutions. The inquiry made me more aware. I learned to mindfully choose to be "on-track" with goal accomplishment or accept responsibility for allowing evolving situations and priorities to change the schedule to accomplish my goals. I always have choices. I became more aware of distractions and coaching helped me to ask whether these were really important to me.”
• Jared Albu, Sept 2009“It was very useful to see how different personality types interact in a dynamic team environment. Sylvia was a great facilitator of the discussion and used examples very effectively. The presentation and discussion in the morning were clearly linked with the sailing portion in the afternoon. The day was a great exercise in team building and the lessons learned were important to our professional development.”
