Asia Pacific Director, Singapore [Italian MNC Group]

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.

Corporate HR, Singapore [German 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.

Country Manager – South Asia, Singapore [Italian MNC Group]

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.

General Manager-  APAC Retail,  Philippines

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.

Founder & Director -  VideoLane.com, Singapore

I was at the point of my business where growth stood still and had to make major decisions to turn it around.  Given the many opportunities and paths I could take, it was more of a chaos than a solution.  That’s where Maria came in.  Maria had a way of probing my ideas and objectives that clarified the direction I should be heading. She could pinpoint every exact action I must take next, to help me move forward. I highly recommend Maria for business and strategic coaching guidance.”

Vincent Sim - Evangelist, Central Christian Church of Malaysia

I had a coaching session with Maria recently.  In the session, I felt genuine concern from her and sincere effort to try to help me with the issues I brought up.  I could tell she was connected with me and stayed with me throughout the session, which was very important for me.  The coaching session was professionally done and it gave me a sense of belief that there are solutions I could look into.  Certainly, the discussion we had opened doors to new ideas.  Her empathy was matched by her determination to work through the issues together with me.  Base on above, I recommend Maria as a competent coach.
