Clients & projects
On this page you find the organizations I have worked with
You also find an overview of the trainings, programs and workshops I have facilitated for client organizations.
The training gives powerful insights about the undercurrent in each team, such as tensions, conflict and also the development of a team based on its power and strength. We often intuitively feel what is going on, but we seldom know how to work with it.
As a passionate expert in this domain, Silvia weaves her experiences with practice and theory in her training. Theoretical insights are fluently connected with practical methods. This helps you to keep a finger on the pulse, name things and have the courage to take action in teams, both as a leader and an external coach. This is further enriched with strong personal insights as a team coach.
An enriching experience for everyone who wants to get the most out of a team!

Silvia’s Masterclasses offer you the best of both worlds: they are a combination of non-ordinary inspiring theoretical frameworks and practical tools. A bonus is the apetite to take the learnings to your own context and to discover that you can do things differently. And then, on top of that, there’s the mirror offered by the group.
Team leadership is difficult and intensive and everybody struggles with it. The contribution of every member of the training group was very enriching.
Conculsion: highly recommended for those who want to make team development a priority. The result of my training trajectory is that I see my role as team leader in a different and more creative way. I have also become a little bit richer as a person.

Silvia is passionate about her work and permeated by the topic. She will inspire you and finds a good balance between theory, sharing practical experiences and putting us to work. (…) Absolutely top class! Silvia says a lot of sensible things and has tons of experience.
Your training on mediation has been very useful for me and your passion for your job stays with me. I often use many of your techniques in my daiy life, not only in the professional domain! It’s easier now to avoid pitfalls and I no longer consider each suggestion as a problem that I need to solve. And these are only a few of the examples that come to mind now.
