"Executives and HR managers know coaching is the most potent tool for inducing lasting personal change." Ivy Business Journal
What some of our clients say about our services:
"Sil was a great coach. It was astonishing how she was able to listen between the lines and point her finger on key issues. She did not let me off the hook easily. She challenged me to step out of my box and look "beyond my limits". I liked how she added a portion of humor to the coaching. The experience was very enriching for me. I also felt that the fact that she worked in the industry herself for many years helped us to connect. It made the coaching very efficient, practical and results-oriented." (Managing Director, International Banking, Hong Kong-based)
"My coaching with Silke was super efficient and helpful. As a General Manager, I have to balance several partners in a joint venture which can sometimes be very challenging. Silke not only adapted very quickly to my specific problems, but most of all by means of interactive meetings and homework, she made me understand different ways to handle different personalities. She asked very challenging questions during the coaching process. At the end I was able to deliver my own solutions and to find my own way out of the crisis that I was facing. I can highly recommend Silke to any top executive. Timely, efficient and most of all, helpful insights for an entire life!" (General Manager, Exhibition & Fairs, based in Shanghai/China)
"The way Sil asked her questions allows me to challenge my existing beliefs and forces me to dig deeper into my thoughts. It's the specific wordings she chooses for her questions that provides useful guidance for me to slowly peel the onion. It was an amazing coaching experience and helped me clarify what my anchor is and what my short term and long term goals should be. It helps especially when Sil is very personable and immensely patient and supportive. I would recommend Sil to anyone who is looking for clarity in their career paths." (Regional Finance Leader, US Private Company, based in Hong Kong)
"I was genuinely surprised how much I benefitted from being coached by Sil. As a small business owner, I usually do not get lots of feedback on what I do.. Being coached helped me to rid myself of some self-limiting assumptions and beliefs which I was not aware of. Also, I found that I improved how I communicate with difficult clients, and I learned how I can better manage my time. I was reluctant to invest money and spend time on coaching initially, but engaging Sil has fully paid off for me and my company." (Owner and CEO, Design Company, based in Hong Kong)
"Silke is an approachable, professional and well-skilled coach. She helped me nail down definitive action plans that progressed me on my most important goals. She has a wonderful skill in appropriately challenging my limiting beliefs which has allowed me to make mental mode shifts going forward. I highly recommend Silke to those who seek rapid, meaningful progress in their lives" (Entrepreneuse, Coach and Director, Professional Services, based in Sydney/Australia)
"I have just completed a six-session coaching program with Sil and I wanted to let you know about what we achieved in that time, because I can hardly believe it myself. When we first started working together, I was in an OK relationship, and very busy as I was about to embark on a intense management consulting project. I was also studying and working with a few coaching clients of my own at the same time, and a bit anxious about my own financial position. As part of working with Sil, we established quite early on that whilst things in my world were OK - they weren't really where they should be. Over the course of three months, whilst juggling all those responsibilities I outlined earlier, as well as coping with the grief of two deaths in the family, I decided to separate from my partner. This decision meant that I literally did not have a place to live and also had profound emotional, practical and financial implications. I believe Sil's empathetic approach and reflection of my words to her enabled me to sail through the process as well as I did. Today I find myself in the most remarkable position. I am now living in an incredible, almost-waterfront home less than 3km from Sydney's CBD. I have funds available to sustain myself for months; an amazing lifestyle that is all of my own making and I am attracting both clients and new potential relationships into my life. It is a million miles away from where I was when we started working together." (Consultant , Speaker and Coach/Facilitator, based in Sydney/Australia)
"Silke's coaching style is warm, empathetic but also challenging, concrete and emotionally intelligent. She was able to "understand" me better than any other coach that I ever had. Silke combined listening and powerful questions, that "challenged" my assumptions and my opinions on who I am, what I want to achieve, where I want to go in the future. She offered me tools to reflect and wide "space" to express. I ended the round with a session in which I produced "thinking guidelines" for my life/work/business that are helping and will help me in the future." (Academic & Education Professional, based in Rome, Italy)
"Sil is a serene, reflective coach who encouraged me to think. She encouraged me to reflect on my challenges and the conflicting interests I was facing. I came to grips with my priorities and more comfortable with "where I am at." I felt like she was on my side the whole time we talked." (Consultant, based in Baltimore, USA)
"Silke uses a highly effective, thought provoking coaching style that supported me as client to create new awarenesses and implement realistic attainable actions. Anyone who is fortunate enough to have the experience of partnering on a coaching journey with Silke will find the support and guidance needed from her to create their own successes in life." (HR Executive, Public Services, based in Canada)
"Silke is a worthy partner for facilitating change in your life. She is focused and trustworthy and makes you think hard about what is important. You will not be disappointed in you engage her as coach." (Marketing Consultant & Coach, based in Cambridge, UK)
