TESTIMONIALS
““Sophie walked with me through the process of speech preparedness. She helped me build confidence and showed me how to turn what I thought were shortcomings into positives.””
““To teach communication skills, one must be a terrific communicator, and Sophie is prodigiously gifted in this respect. As a teacher she has at her fingertips the multiple technicalities on which communication depends; as a trainer she possesses a degree of insight into each individual’s needs that is almost uncanny. That she is also generously open-minded and ruthlessly critical only makes her effectiveness the more irresistible.””
““When the time came to revamp my career, Sophie coached me through the interviewing process. I was offered the job I wanted!””

It is with great intuition that she spontaneously senses the needs of her clients, as she listens to them and advises them with keen understanding, regardless of their field. She can do so because of her extensive professional, cultural and social experiences. She is balanced and open-minded and welcomes any new projects and ideas, while also offering her own creativity, awareness, and humanitarian qualities.””
