Testimonials

Sylvie is a great listener, but it’s her ability to ask poignant questions and focus in on what really matters that ensures we make the most of our time together.  She is attune to my values and has a gentle way of ensuring I take action and accountability for my professional life.  I especially value the wisdom that comes from her own personal experience as a woman in a leadership role.  After every session, my cup is refilled; I have greater clarity, focus, and purpose.

Sylvie’s coaching has truly allowed me to think differently and broadened my perspective as a leader. Her vast experience as a senior leader was evident throughout all our discussions. Our sessions were flexible and client facing, focused entirely on the challenges I identified. Sylvie’ ability to ask the right questions in order to guide her clients in discovering themselves the right solution is uncanny. Sylvie has an approachable and reassuring demeanour, which creates an ideal environment for thoughtful and in-depth discussions. While our sessions were flexible and the conversations were genuine, the coaching was methodological and sessions always ended with a clear objective. The skills I’ve honed through our sessions have certainly helped shape my leadership style. Sylvie was referred to me with glowing reviews, and after my own coaching experience with her, I would gladly recommend Sylvie as a coach to any leader.

Sylvie was a great support to me as I began working in the civil service. Having previously worked largely in the private sector, she was instrumental in helping me navigate a new professional culture. I benefited tremendously from the opportunity to learn from her past experience, and to be able to work with her to address a variety of challenges and opportunities. Sylvie has the content expertise, combined with a true willingness to connect, and an honest and authentic approach to coaching. Her input was insightful, and she helped me gain perspective in terms of managing relationships, prioritizing, and thinking strategically. Through her thoughtful questions and real life examples, I was able to understand how to more effectively contribute to the success of our team.

I had the great pleasure of working with Sylvie during a time of career transition.  She was exceptional in her approach to active listening, inspiring confidence in the process for decision-making, and astutely identifying professional strengths.  I recommend Sylvie as an executive coach in all aspects of one's personal and professional journey.

Coaching with Sylvie provided a dedicated time for focus on my needs and development. A rarity for a manager! Coaching helped me realize the importance of articulating a vision for staff and how to manage change to achieve this vision. It also helped me problem solve some HR related issues. Sylvie always asks thought-provoking questions and is a very effective coach.
