Measurable Bottom-Line Results

"You proved to be an excellent coach, helping me to achieve both personal and business results. I found you to be tenacious, focused and supportive but also willing to challenge me on my methods. As a result, I was able to achieve almost a 100% increase in profits for our company this year versus last."

RJ, President, Cactus Restaurants Ltd.

Simple, Fast Solutions to Complex Issues

"Although your involvement was a little over a month, your negotiation strategy coaching provided the pivotal push from a stalemate towards resolution of a $300,000 lawsuit which remained unresolved although a team of lawyers from several high profile law firms had been involved in the case for over 4 years."

SB, President, Strategic Marketing and Art Investment Co.

Programs Customized Specifically for
Your Group and The Results You Want

"It was indeed a pleasure to meet someone with your talent and positive outlook on life. I think the participants found your presentation to be uplifting and one of the highlights of our two day event. In particular, I would like to thank you for the time you spent researching and the customized additions."

Lower Stress Levels,
Increased Employee Retention,
Higher Motivation and Team Performance

Pavla worked with several employee and management groups on team building and communication skills. The response to her coaching and counselling style was by far the most positive and successful that I have seen. The results were almost immediate, and translated into more confident, motivated and satisfied employees, which in turn improved retention within these departments. As service departments in a large busy law firm, the training also provided the employees with a better understanding of how to respond to stresses often beyond their control. With more confidence and stronger communications skills, the department service level also improved.

Insights That Change Your Results

"I'd have to say that this week was a 10! What's not to like: being at the vortex of a $3 billion auction provided enough of an affirmation. The huge, complicated project and working alongside a diverse group of bright hardworking people was a thrill I don't tire of. Merci beaucoup beaucoup, Pavla! Things at work have substantially changed, needless to say, since our first chat. The homework assignments proved to be very valuable on several different fronts. So, once again, thanks Pavla. You're an awesome coach!!!"

Clarity, Positive Focus and Confidence

"When I met you I think that I was very afraid for my future. I was very suppressed and flat and lifeless. My average earnings for the 3 months prior to starting coaching were about $1700/mo. I was living in a basement room in someone else's house. Now 5 months later I am joyful and energetic. I love how things are going. I have a new place to live that is the largest amount of personal space that I have ever had. I have a new job that pays me more than 3 times what I was making when I started working with you, and is the most I have ever made in my life. Women are starting to look at me again. Pavla, you have changed my world, you have turned my head completely around and faced me in a new direction. For that I thank you with all my heart."
