"Maleene has a great touch with people and has a way of reaching people that has broad appeal."
Maleene is a very efficient coach, especially in cross-cultural settings. She has a great touch with people, she has a masterful touch with cultural subtleties, and has a way of reaching people that has broad appeal. She and I worked together at a leadership session hosted by a major American industrial company and she was superb.

"Her coaching enabled me to the make deliberate and decisive choices in line with my passions and abilities."
Maleene has supported me since 2010 with the 'second' launch of my business. For me, as a designer with a one woman business, it's crucial to share thoughts and ideas in a professional and objective manner. Maleene provides that. To me her empathy and commitment are her strengths. Throughout my coaching process, her powerful questions gave me a confronting but useful mirror at same time. In my labyrinth of thoughts, ideas and questions, if needed she changed gears automatically. Her coaching enabled me to the make deliberate and decisive choices in line with my passions and abilities.

"She not only facilitated a creative and inspiring brainstorm session, she also presented this theme with expertise and to the point."
Despite the fact that 'Demographic Changes' are not Maleene's business, she not only facilitated a creative and inspiring brainstorm session, she also presented this theme with expertise and to the point. I admire her ability to pull a group out of their daily routines and invite them to envision future scenarios. All these aspects made our collaboration an innovative, efficient and pleasant experience.

"Maleene's coaching gave me better insight into choices."
After four months of maternity leave, I dreaded returning to work. It felt like an assignment that was too big to handle. My first coaching session with Maleene made me see it as an opportunity: to schedule my work differently, to profile my strengths and to see opportunities instead of restrictions. In this phase of my life with three young children and a full-time job with responsibilities, it's wise to set boundaries and learn what things are really important for me right now and what can wait. Maleene's coaching gave me better insight into these choices. I have also learned to gain more work satisfaction by making conscious choices. Looking back coaching brought me many opportunities to grow.

"Extremely well-prepared, she poses the right question or statement at the right moment"
Maleene had a group of Q-managers hanging on every word for two and a half hours. Extremely well-prepared, she poses the right question or statement at the right moment. This kept the audience on the edge of their seats to the very end. Thanks to her inspiring presentation, all participants now know what the new rules of work truly mean.
