are on par with the best trainers in the industry. Her energy and the
engagement level with us were extremely high. Her commitment to us during the program
was commendable.”

“Maria was a brilliant facilitator who really took the time to develop all of us. I truly share her vision to make a positive difference in the organization by using the SLII® Model.”
—Learning and Development VP, Asia [USA Pharmaceutical Equipment Provider MNC]
“Maria has very good experience and ability to understand my needs. She gave me some very good advices how to handle difficult situations with my team. She helped me in identifying my weaknesses and minimized them. Furthermore, she helped me on specific situations in my work life. I would highly recommend Maria for anyone seeking coaching and mentoring partnership.”
— Asia Pacific Director, Singapore [Italian MNC Group]
“Maria is someone with very good communication skills, language skills, intercultural background and professional background with other companies. As she is very energetic person, she easily connects to the participants at the workshop. Maria is also very customer oriented, as she has shown flexibility to change parts of the program rather spontaneously. A highly approachable, friendly facilitator with good listening skills. We wanted an “Asian” (based) trainer who at the same time understands other cultures and is sensitive to the difficulties of working in a virtual environment – international teams – all this was given to us by working with Maria. She inspired participants, helped them to understand their actual day to day problems from a theoretical standpoint and from a meta-perspective. Made them feel that their issues are rather normal and that there is a way to solve them.”
—Corporate HR, Singapore [German MNC Group]
“We highly recommend working with Maria in team alignment programs as we have obtained maximum benefit from it. Her optimal lead-facilitation methods have provided a safe environment for us to go through transformation and development, while keeping us focused on core business performance goals and ways to achieve them. Maria has aced with us!”
—Managing Director, Taiwan [Japanese & German Joint Venture, MNC]
“Being my first 360 self evaluation process, Maria as my coach, managed to turn my initial resistance into a strong interest in better understanding the tools and the results that I could achieve with a proper use of it. Maria has a strong ability to clearly enable the client with logical process to self identify the essence of the challenges at hand. Although it was a company sponsored decision, I am very grateful for the opportunity my company provided me with to be coached by Maria. I strongly felt that my coach made a significant positive difference in me and the way I view things in the workplace.”
—Country Manager, South Asia, Singapore [Italian MNC]
“I thoroughly appreciated my coaching sessions with Maria. They were insightful, stimulating and enjoyable. Maria managed to make me take stock of where I was, where I wanted to be in a few years from now and gave me the tools to get there. Maria’s key strengths are the following: able to put you at ease and you see yourself opening up very quickly, able to identify the underlying issues very accurately and promptly, she is very effective at inspiring you to get to know yourself better, very effective in getting you to work out the possible solutions to the issues discovered, and shared good tools & exercises during the sessions. While I didn’t go around shopping for other providers before making my decision, the main reason why I decided to sign up was because of how the exploratory session went: I felt extremely at ease conversing and opening up while at the same time, I picked up some insights. From there I figured that I would definitely gain from speaking to her. In addition, her multi-cultural background, her extensive international work experience, as well as her qualifications in coaching were a guarantee that I was talking to someone highly qualified to coach me.”
—General Manager, APAC Retail, Philippines
“When I started to work with Maria I was stuck in my professional career. Maria helped me to understand what is really important to me and kept challenging me to reach out for it. Within a couple of weeks an opportunity emerged which I hadn’t been able to see before. Maria’s coaching helped me to seize this opportunity and find a new direction.”
—Managing Director, Asia Pacific [Nordic MNC]
“Maria brings a broad industry and international experience – especially in the IT sector – which enables her to guide you through challenging business situations. Through her unique method she helps you to find your peak-performance level and shows how to stay on that peak level in a sustainable way – what is even more important. Working with Maria is a rewarding experience and supported me to stay on my peak while having fun.”
