Élizabeth Bilodeau

Docteur & Propriétaire
de Clinique d’Obstétrique Bilodeau

Chef d’entreprise, conjointe, maman, vie exaltante et bien remplie avec amis, famille et collègues…

Hommage à Sylvie, mon coach d’exception!

Je suis un médecin de famille, directeur de ma clinique, qui est à la recherche d’un équilibre harmonieux à la clinique médicale pour une meilleure qualité de vie.  J’avais besoin d’organiser mon entreprise afin de mieux définir les taches et les responsabilités de chacun.  Je suis aussi une aidante naturelle et j’avais également besoin de soutien pour m’aider à accompagner ma mère en soins palliatifs tout en respectant son choix de partir dignement avec l’aide à mourir.

Voici la différence avec l’aide de Sylvie : mon coach, c’est la mise en action de mon âme.  Mon coach, pour moi, c’est un phare qui m’éclaire dans le processus décisionnel afin d’arriver à la réalisation d’une vie meilleure pour moi, avec mes valeurs bien définies. Sylvie m’a aidé tant sur le plan professionnel que personnel.  Elle sait m’écouter avec empathie et respect.  Avec elle, je visite et revisite mes objectifs à court et long termes. Je pose des actions avec des échéanciers clairs qui me propulsent vers le gout d’agir et d’en faire plus.

Les objectifs concernant ma vie professionnelle sont maintenant réalisés et les résultats sont tangibles.  Mon rêve d’une clinique harmonieuse où je me sens bien avec maintenant une secrétaire (au lieu d’une infirmière) qui répond à mes besoins, un horaire plus allégé, un système de prise de rendez-vous plus efficace à la satisfaction de mes patients et un partage de responsabilités avec mes patients.  Je suis en harmonie avec la clinique.

Ma deuxième réalisation, personnelle cette fois, est d’avoir été supporté par mon coach lors de la maladie de ma mère.  Je réalise que Sylvie a été un pilier important avec des questions de vérité et d’authenticité sur mon désir de bien soutenir ma mère dans son épreuve.  Avec elle, j’ai appris à respecter mes limites ainsi qu’à prendre soin de moi pour mieux prendre soin des autres.

Tout au long du processus, ce qui m’a le plus aidé, ce sont les suivis par séances téléphoniques des actions à poser, les encouragements par textos et les résumés de nos conversations par courriel, tout comme les outils qui m’ont été proposés (visualisation, livres, méditation, exercices et j’en passe).  Tout cela a été grandement apprécié.  J’ai aussi fait un voyage à Toronto et passé trois jours en compagnie de mon coach, un voyage mémorable tant en efficacité qu’en plaisir.  Sylvie est une personne respectueuse, empathique, généreuse, professionnelle et enthousiaste.  Elle s’adapte à nos besoins et à notre rythme sans perdre l’objectif de poser des actions et de maintenir nos acquis.

Pour conclure, je souhaite à ma famille, à mes amis et à mes patients la rencontre d’une personne comme mon coach qui m’a donné des ailes pour réaliser mes objectifs.

Merci Sylvie d’être dans ma vie!

Sylvie is a woman of deep authenticity, passion & courage.

She is also one of the most skilled & intuitive coaches around. I strongly recommend Sylvie to anyone looking to take their lives and success to the next level.

Mike Tangreda

CEO of InHome Trainer

Entrepreneur, managing employees, husband and new dad…

Sylvie has given me a blueprint for success in achieving my dream.

I hired Sylvie to accelerate the growth of my business and achieve more revenues.

It was challenging to reach my goals on my own because, as an Entrepreneur, you become so entrenched in the daily activities, that sometimes you tend to neglect the big picture of why you started this business. (I.e. Do what you love & Financial freedom)

The coaching process helped me develop new habits, systems, and procedures that were not only required but equally pivotal to the growth of my company.

I always thought of myself as being disciplined and organized, but Sylvie helped me take that to an entire different level of efficiency I’ve never experimented before.

I’ve learned so many new things for example that I respond well to pre-planning my weeks in advance and setting goals to get things done, no matter what, to block time, in a particular way, to maximize my creative work, to manage my projects in such a way that I know I can be there to support my team and while getting new clients, strategies to position myself more effectively on the market.  I developed new skills like visualizing my goals achieved, like remaining focused on the priorities that gave me the best Return on my Investment of Time, having back-up plans for unexpected demands and circumstances, becoming a much better leader for my team, building a more inspiring team environment and enrolling them to raise their standards of excellence, improving my Training Programs for my team of Trainers/our clients/my Referrals Programs/my Interview Process.  Brief, we reassessed the entire Cycle of all operations and improved accordingly.

As a result, I created more free time to work “on” the business, as opposed to “in it”, which transformed my company into the Vision I had in mind for so long; made amazing progress with my Marketing tools (brochures, videos, website), created a Licensing System, selling Licenses to Trainers who wishes to operate their own business under a model of “Franchisor/Franchisee”, which allowed me to gain more market share, then naturally increased my monthly income significantly.

I would absolutely recommend Sylvie to anyone whom wants to save the high price of learning by mistakes and get a strategist that will propel you much faster than ever imagined.  The passion she brings to every call does not go unnoticed.  She really cares about your ultimate success and will push you to new levels that you may have thought were not possible.  Thanks Sylvie!

Travailler avec Sylvie a complètement changé ma vie!

J’ai engagé les services de coaching de Sylvie afin de reprendre le contrôle de ma vie à la suite d’un accident qui m’avait bouleversé.  C’est mon médecin de famille qui m’a recommandé à elle puisqu’elle savait que Sylvie avait les compétences professionnelles requises pour m’aider dans mon évolution personnelle et professionnelle

En tant que Chef d’Entreprise et mère de famille, ma vie est extrêmement occupée et exigeante.  Dès la première rencontre, Sylvie m’a aidé à mettre en place des actions très stratégiques pour atteindre mes objectifs.  Chaque semaine, elle m’équipait avec de plus en plus d’outils pour améliorer les différentes facettes de ma vie.  J’ai adoré le type d’encadrement que nous avons mis en place comme les suivis quotidiens, les appels et les actions proposées avec des moyens personnalisés pour convenir à mon horaire chargé.  Sylvie est à l’écoute et nous permet de puiser en nous, de trouver nous-mêmes les parfaites solutions.

Sa guidance et support m’ont fait évoluer très rapidement ce qui m’a permis, en moins de 3 mois, de me dépasser, dans plusieurs aspects de ma vie, et de créer des changements importants sur lesquels je travaillais depuis plus de 10 ans.  En outre, ma famille a remarqué des transformations majeures dans ma manière de traiter les informations lors de situations avec un haut niveau de stress. J’ai appris à prendre le temps d’écouter, d’analyser et de réfléchir avant d’agir et d’offrir le meilleur de moi-même.

Voir tous ces résultats m’a fait réaliser à quel point mes forces et mes talents sont beaucoup plus solides et puissants que ce que je ne pouvais imaginer.  Ce constat m’a totalement inspiré et enthousiasmé à passer à l’action avec d’autres objectifs. Semaine après semaine, j’étais naturellement de plus en plus motivée.  Savoir que Sylvie était là, à mes côtés, qu’elle m’aidait à mieux réfléchir, qu’elle était une confidente digne de confiance, une partenaire qui surveillait mes angles morts pour me sauver temps et énergie, et dont l’unique but était mon succès, non seulement m’enlevait beaucoup de stress mais augmentait aussi mon courage et le pouvoir de ma volonté.  Elle me donnait des ailes pour voler plus haut.

Depuis, ma vie s’est joyeusement améliorée de maintes et maintes façons. Je remercie Sylvie de m’avoir guidé dans ce grand travail d’évolution.

Marilyn Liepelt

Therapist (Masters Social Work) & Entrepreneur of Transformation Unlimited

Employee (full time) & Entrepreneur (part time) …

Sylvie is among the best in teaching principles of living successfully.

I came into my coaching relationship with Sylvie to achieve Financial and Success Goals for my Business. To do this, I realized I needed to focus on personal areas that have long kept me stagnant: 1) increasing my confidence and self love, and 2) becoming more disciplined in my daily life. With Sylvie’s wisdom, wit, humor, enthusiasm and can-do attitude surrounding her firm ‘boot in the backside’ approach to accountability, I was totally supported, both in areas I expected and some unexpected.

Sylvie helped me in my personal life to work on a daily regimen of self-nurturance: spiritually, emotionally and physically; through diet and morning meditation. I lost a great deal of weight and significantly increased my level of self-love, joy and self-belief.

In my business, Sylvie challenged me to take courageous action, pushing me to go beyond my comfort zone, resulting in an increase of confidence. She worked with me on firming up my schedule, encouraging me to work smart and focused while including time for fun and rest. In her playful manner, Sylvie inspired a life of balance.

It was an extremely valuable experience to have my Coach hold my goals, help me devise a game plan with specific action steps and hold me accountable for achieving those steps in a supportive, fun and loving manner. I found Sylvie to be adept at weaving my personal and professional goals in a seamless fashion.

My experience in coaching has benefited me tremendously, giving me the opportunity to focus on what I did RIGHT, celebrating my WINS, and going through the discipline of recording and evaluating my actions, achievements and areas for more concerted focus. Whereas it has been typical for me to focus on what I failed to accomplish, Sylvie consistently inspired a focus on my week’s achievements and wins. In my three-month coaching session with Sylvie, I have exponentially increased my level of self-love, self-esteem and self-confidence. I have specific areas of self-discipline in places that have increased my effectiveness both personally and professionally. I have learned to be true to myself, to nurture my mind and body and to take bold steps to achieve my dreams.

I would highly recommend Sylvie as a coach for anyone who wants to take their life to the next level. Sylvie’s professionalism and skills kept the sessions directed and focused. I knew from the beginning I was in good hands. The compassion and generosity she provided inspired safety and a greater willingness to be vulnerable, leading to a more authentic and productive experience. And at the same time, Sylvie’s wit, humor, exuberance and zest for life made the coaching session a delightful experience. I could not recommend this Coach more highly!

Victor Allen

Director of Hazelton Medial Spa

Executive managing many employees in competitive beauty industry…

Sylvie's coaching has been a breath of fresh air in our team and company.

As a (somewhat) successful leader, I’ve reached a plateau with the team productivity and I just didn’t know what to do to get people to collaborate and reach the vision I had in mind. So, when meeting with Sylvie, I must say that I really resonated with her ideas and embarked in trying something new with her.

Sylvie helped me understand the importance of me doing first what I was expecting my team to do. So, she helped me “up my game”.  We created daily habits and rituals, moving into ways I can work to live a higher caliber, higher performing life.  I’ve learned that, with consistent efforts, the enthusiasm and quality of energy I bring daily to every task, conversation, operation, makes a huge difference on the end results. I was really inspired with my new personal transformations.

She taught me how to do the same with my team.  It became easier to motivate my people, to eliminate long lasting issues, to improve communication, to better our policies and procedures, etc.

Having a weekly plan made the entire difference for me.  I knew what priorities to focus on to ensure everyone could be more productive and increase their standards of excellence.

I was excited to see how the team responded well to our new growth environment.  Each employee ended up having more clarity with what was expected of them, humor and fun was happening more often, to a point where I’ve noticed a significant increase in everyone’s morale and our team spirit soared.

We could see the positive impact of every little change we’ve made across the board. And, our sales nicely increased monthly.  We surveyed our clients and their positive comments confirmed that our new initiatives paid off.  We were happy but not surprised.

With Sylvie’s coaching, I was able to leave each day feeling less exhausted and overwhelmed but rather proud and satisfied.  And, our company’s culture got a happiness facelift!

I can’t thank Sylvie enough.

Business owner…

Through her coaching, Sylvie brought out the best in me.

In February 2004, one of my goals was to grow my business significantly. Sylvie was hired to act as my business coach.  Together we have created a business that was going for the dumps to a business that has now an amazing vision with strong values and exciting goals, a team who is motivated to come to work, to contribute and improve our work atmosphere.

Once we set our goals and then took the actions, things started to happen in a very positive and inspiring manner. With her help, I have created a system that employees can follow for work ethic and procedures; I have increased the product sales by 50% within the first 6 months; I have refined our sales techniques and trained the staff accordingly.

There will be tough times when you want to give it all up but you can trust Sylvie to keep you focused. Not only will she make sure you follow your plan but she will guide you in taking the right actions.  She has assisted me in building a strong structure which allows me to stay on course and to handle last minute life circumstances that jump at me. This will have you stay on top of your game!

You can count on her to push you in doing things that you are not comfortable with but that are necessary in order to grow. She has motivated and inspired me when I was lacking wheel power.  Just like every great athlete has a coach to push you trough your toughest times, Sylvie is there for me at all times.

Relocating a business from one city to another…

The “before & after coaching” transformation with my life and my goals is like night and day!

When I hired Sylvie, I was looking to re-energize myself, to set new priorities and to get my business off the ground for a second time. Even though I was motivated, I was feeling stuck and did not know what to do and where to start.

Working with Sylvie has given me many new tools and skills that I can use to move forward with my business.  It’s a relief to know that I now have all the systems in place to manage the new clients and contacts coming my way. I feel a lot more confident and optimistic in my ability to manage multiple tasks and projects at once. It’s exciting to know that I have strategies to handle that new growth. I learned that I must create a balance between my work and personal life and that maintaining that balance is essential for the prosperity of my business. I also learned that there are few problems that cannot be resolved with time, planning and a creative approach to problem-solving.  I learned that it is okay to be afraid, that action kills fear and that being brave means being afraid and doing what you need to do anyway. I learned to visualize my goals achieved, to cultivate a state of mind for success and to focus my mind on empowering thoughts.

There are many reasons why I would be very happy to refer Sylvie as a coach. Most importantly, she is always prepared for each coaching session. She has taken the time to get to know me as a person, and my circumstances very well. All of her solutions are geared toward my learning style, personality and the way that I work and manage challenges. Secondly, she is an awesome listener and is extremely supportive and understanding. She knows when to give me some line and when to reel me in. And finally, her coaching techniques have helped me achieve my goals and has equipped me to continue the work on my own.

The transformation between my life and goals “before and after coaching” is like night and day. Before coaching, I knew that there were projects I needed to get done to get my business back on track after moving it from one city to another.  I had been feeling insecure and lacking confidence for almost 2 years.  After my experience working with Sylvie, I feel that taking my business from part-time to full-time, from start-up to long-term viable business is just a matter of time.  I now have the confidence to get there and the knowledge and plans to move forward.  I now believe that I can achieve any goals I put my mind to because I now realize and own that I have the power to make it happen.

Sylvie had a solution I have been looking for some time – a gradual approach for consistent progress…

In 2006, I hired Sylvie to help me create and maintain a balance between my demanding professional life and my busy single parent life.

Her fantastic support, guidance and expertise transformed so many areas of my business to greater success and while bringing the very best out of me to my clients, employees, family and friends.

When everything is moving fast, day after day, maintaining a balance is a must.  Sylvie lead me through awesome changes and growth, inspired and motivated me to thrive to new levels of fulfilment.  She has been my light house!

Sylvie makes sure that the rubber hits the road!

Sylvie's very caring and nonjudgmental approach makes it possible for me to stick out the journey of developing my own business. Working with her, I can see the bigger picture and stay on track with what is important now, and not what other people are doing better than me.

Sylvie's coaching helped me to pinpoint exactly what was distracting me from a more productive state and then worked with me on a step by step basis to replace that pattern with one that was more beneficial to me.

As a result, I have increased confidence which enables me to seek out more business. I recommend her to anyone that needs a coach and guide on their journey to success and happiness.

Lisa Taylor

Sales Representative & Business Development Consultant

Professional in the Corporate world  (full time)
& developing a business (part time)

Sylvie was the best I have ever worked with, better than any boss, any mentor, and any teacher I have met.

I am a Sales professional working full time (in the corporate world) and I am also an Entrepreneur (i.e. I run an Airbnb; I am working my way up in a network marketing company; and I am in the process of starting a Networking Association Chapter in my region).  Needless to say, I was very busy, very driven and very unorganized. I never considered working with a coach; in fact, I didn’t even think I needed one until I spoke with Sylvie.  When I met her, I really liked her energy and authenticity. I hired her to help me finish some specific tasks that had been outstanding and sitting in piles, in my office, such as my taxes, which I dreaded and avoided like the plague.

However, I noticed immediately that Sylvie was able to direct me in such a way that I had a defined goal, with clear reasons and tasks at hand in order to achieve my big ultimate goal of “creating multiple streams of income, and one day being a full-time entrepreneur”.

Our calls were structured; agenda’s set, tasks outlined, and I was given specific dates and times to complete the tasks.  This motivated me to start preparing ahead of time for my calls with her, so that we could spend more time on delving deeper into other challenges I was experiencing at work, or with my child, or with life in general, and needed support or guidance with.  Being more organized took stress off my shoulders and helped me make more progress each week. I definitively became more successful under her coaching methods.

What I wasn’t expecting was the life coaching, which I didn’t know I needed - working towards becoming even more confident, more grateful, and more driven. These were the elements of the coaching which I found most valuable.  I actually found myself more and more appreciative of the praise and recognition, when I had persevered in order to complete a task, and I craved more of this positivity and support as the months went by.

I have learned the discipline of setting appointments with myself in order to chip away at the necessary tasks that need to be completed in order to keep moving forward and reaching my big goal. I now have daily and weekly practices in place that Sylvie helped me create. These practices would never have been something I would have felt necessary or even considered were it not for Sylvie telling me they would benefit me, and indeed they have!

Having a coach is something I now see as mandatory, if you are in a position of leadership, or if you are on a journey with the end result of a goal that seems so far away, almost impossible to attain, and you don’t have a plan on how to get there.   Sylvie was the best I have ever worked with, better than any boss, any mentor, and any teacher I have met. She and I will be working together again in the near future.

I have referred Sylvie to a friend who hired her and is also achieving dramatic results under her tutelage.

Jocelyne Cornforth

Screenwriter, Story Editor, Script Consultant

Consultant...

Beyond the bigger success you help me achieve every year, you have offered me a quality of life I never could have dreamed of.

Sylvie has been my personal coach for the past three years, and in that time, she has made a tremendous difference in my life. A few years prior to working with Sylvie, I had quit my job as a corporate lawyer to pursue my dream of becoming a screenwriter. She has greatly impacted and accelerated my success in pursuing that dream.

When Sylvie and I first started working together in the fall of 2000, I had spent over 8 months unsuccessfully trying to write my first script. I needed to complete the script to apply to a writing program at The Canadian Film Centre and the deadline for submissions was only a month away. I was accustomed to working in very structured environments and I had been floundering in the unstructured world of writing. Sylvie provided me with the external structure I needed to set writing deadlines and keep them. Even more significantly, she helped me see how I was stopping myself from asking for help. With Sylvie's compassionate but strong support, I stepped out of my comfort zone and made a request for help from an experienced writer, got the guidance I needed and completed the script.

I submitted the finished script to The Canadian Film Centre and was accepted into the course, beating out a 100 other writers in the process. Six months later, I sent the same script to acclaimed British writer Lynda La Plante (the creator and writer of the world-renowned British television series "Prime Suspect", and she responded by asking me to come to London, England to be one of her Script Editors. This once in a lifetime opportunity wouldn't have happened without Sylvie's help.

After taking the Script Editor job, Sylvie has helped me navigate some very challenging transitions - to a new country, a new job and a new career. With her support and guidance, I have stayed the course and am gaining the skills and experience I need to make my greatest dreams a reality.

If I had to describe Sylvie in just one word, it would be commitment. She is utterly and totally committed to her clients and to helping them realize their personal goals, whatever they may be. I can't thank her or recommend her enough.

Realtor

Self-Employed, mother…

Sylvie has a natural ability to see and bring out your unique genius so your work can be a full expression of your unique talents.

I have been selling Real Estate in Toronto, as a full-time Realtor for 30 years. I was interested in finding new ideas and strategies that would help me meet both new potential clients and possible referring partners. When I met Sylvie, I was immediately taken with her vibrant energy and sincere caring about people getting the most success out of their activities.  After speaking with her about my goals, she had enlightening ideas about the process it would require to reach them.

I found that Sylvie’s strong listening skill; her knowledge of “how people think and do things” and her intuitive suggestions quickly assisted me in discovering new approaches and attitudes. This showed me how to identify my own personal gifts and the positive impact I have on my own clients. She has helped me shine all of my colors while conducting the main phases of my business.  Through her guidance I was able to bring about a paradigm shift in my understanding of how I was communicating within my network and tweak it so I not only present myself more powerfully but also utilize a more effective method to help prospects understand better the real value I bring to the table.

I highly recommend Sylvie as a business coach, she will inspire you to your highest vision and then keep you on track with your goal. Her encouragements and advices will allow you to look within yourself and find new exciting ways to obtain what you are looking for and achieve exactly that!

Carolyn Liepelt

Certified Real Estate Appraiser

Self-employed, busy with numerous life projects…

She brings so many qualities to the table.

I received coaching from Sylvie during 3 months.  I had never had a personal coach before and didn’t quite know what to expect.  I had both personal and professional goals that I needed help with.  These ranged from a desire to lose weight - a challenge which had plagued me for most of my life - and a block in my business which kept me from success.

Sylvie’s methods were multi-faceted, helping me to attack my challenges from many different angles.  She was extremely encouraging, helping me see success in even the most minute victories and celebrated each one with me.  At the same time, Sylvie didn’t hesitate to help me face my issues with a no-nonsense, take no prisoner attitude that challenged me each and every week.

My coach helped me to see layers and dimensions that have kept me overweight.  We dealt with both the emotional, root causes of this issue as well as the practical plan of attack that led me to accomplish my goal of losing 30 pounds during the three months of coaching that I received.

In regards to my professional challenges, Sylvie pushed me beyond my perceived limits helping me to discover that my capabilities were well beyond what I thought possible.  I was able to face various fears and watch them wither, in the process gaining much needed confidence that will help me throughout my entire life.  I have come to see myself as capable and ready to handle whatever obstacles come my way.

It was extremely apparent that Sylvie had given much time and thought to each coaching session.  With wisdom and understanding, she was always prepared to match my own efforts, each step of the way, encouraging me to take charge of my life, creating something I could be proud of.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sylvie to anyone who wishes to conquer fear, overcome obstacles, move forward and onto the next step in their lives.  She brings so many qualities to the table - some of which include her wisdom, compassion, strength, insights and delicious sense of humor.  I am so grateful for her generous participation in my life.

Sylvie cares about you and wants you to win!

I hired Sylvie to help me get a business idea off the ground.

As a health professional I have had no formal business training.  While working in the industry, I saw a need and could see a solution.   My challenge was trying to find the direction to take in order to create that solution.

Sylvie was fabulous in helping me find direction.  She kept me on task and focused on what is important now by helping me be accountable to myself and to her through our meetings.   She also helped me to create a system, I could use, to keep from getting bogged down on the details and emotions that cause you to lose focus.  This very specific step by step approach was accomplished by giving me a frame work to keep my emotions and goals specific and on task.

With Sylvie's help I was able to realize that the team I needed would and should also need me, an equal partnership of sorts.  Sylvie was able to help open my mind to this realization and I was able to clearly identify that the current team I had been working with was un-open to the vision I could bring to them. As a result of this understanding, I began to communicate to people around me, creating strong symbiotic relationships, a win-win for all around.  Though this new approach I discovered a very strong business partner, we were able to connect and the work started very quickly and easily.  I was able to complete each step along the way keeping my vision, goals and emotions clear.

The results I have seen in my both my personal and my business life have been exhilarating.

  • I have been happier, healthier and more productive in the last few months than I have been before.  This impacts my relationships with my family in a positive way by being able to spend more quality time and focusing on their individual needs.   I have become closer to them.
  • I have become satisfied with the results I am seeing on my business.  I am able to clearly identify specific goals and achieve them, which helps keep me enthusiastic and ready to take the next step without distractions.  I am now actively moving forward with my business idea.
  • I have learned a great deal about managing my emotions and looking at each situation in a positive light, I have changed how I approach every situation; I realize that I am in control and can choose how to react.

Thanks to Sylvie’s coaching over the last 3 months I am now fearlessly taking actions toward both my personal and professional goals.  Sylvie guided me though a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, where we looked at how my understanding of self, emotions, business and goals were affecting everything that I did.

Learning to assess my emotional state and understand how it was going to affect me allowed me to change how I was thinking and feeling.  This allowed me greater control of my emotional response and gave me great control of how I was feeling in my life.  This made me significantly more productive because I was better able to feel what was the right direction.   Thank you!

Un ange a été placé sur ma route et c’est Sylvie!

Une femme qui déborde de compétences et de connaissances dans tant de domaines.  Elle sait comment nous aider à nous diriger plus efficacement vers nos rêves.  En contactant Sylvie, dès notre premier entretien c’était évident que nous avions de grandes affinités et cela m’a inspiré confiance sans aucune hésitation.

Cette femme engagée et déterminée m’a aidé à cibler rapidement mes besoins qui alors étaient multiples. Rapidement nous nous sommes engagés dans un voyage ensemble, des plus productifs. En passant à l’action de façon organisée, planifiés et en respectant mes limites j’ai pu à nouveau redéployer mes ailes. Les résultats se sont rapidement fait sentir dès la première semaine et ils se poursuivent. Merci Sylvie de ta généreuse et sincère engagement envers moi, si actuellement je reprends le dessus sur tous les volets de ma vie c’est grâce à toi.

Tu demeures pour moi une inspiration. Dorénavant si le manque d’inspiration se représente à nouveau je sais à quelle porte aller cogner. Par contre avec tout le bagage que tu m’as enseigné en si peu de temps j’ai enfin les idées plus claires. Tu m’as aidé à faire confiance en la vie et à croire que la vie déborde de belles opportunités.  Merci Sylvie de m’avoir tant aidé dans un moment crucial de ma vie.

Owner of L’Attitudes International Image Centres

Business owner managing a big team and diverse schedules…

Sylvie's coaching has saved me countless hours of ruminating over what I should do, whether my business decisions were good ones or not so good, and whether or not, to take the plunge into areas that excited me but seemed to also be intimidating.

Since I have been consulting with Sylvie I have been able to clarify my business goals and have streamlined my business plan. Sylvie's coaching has saved me countless hours of ruminating over what I should do, whether my business decisions were good ones or not so good, and whether or not, to take the plunge into areas that excited me but seemed to also be intimidating.  Working with Sylvie is like having a voice on your shoulder that says: "You can do it", "it will work". Or, "this is not so good for you, but why don't you try... and...”.  Her voice has always been right.

Sylvie has also helped me through a very difficult personal time in my life.

It is comforting to know that she is in my corner.

She offers better perspectives and action steps for successfully managing change.

Sylvie, I would like to thank you very much for my experience working with you as my life coach for a very valuable three months.  You were able to assist me in gaining clarity about very important life choices and decisions that were crucial to me and in a very short period of time.

I learned a lot about setting specific time aside to create balance and order in my life.  As a business owner, mother and wife leading a very active / hectic lifestyle I don’t think I could have regained the solidarity required to move forward in this very powerful way that I have by working with you!  I am very grateful for the experience and will continue to grow in my life because of what I learned by working with you.  Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Beverley Darling

Principal and Owner of Specworks Consulting Inc.

Business owner in the construction industry…

Sylvie is a great asset to any organization.

I am the owner of a company preparing specialty documentation for architectural firms on their construction projects. My company is a small business that I want to make bigger by acquiring more clients. I am a very positive person, know my business well and mostly spend my time being very precise and technical. When it was time to attract clients, I was having a lot of trouble expressing my good traits and my expertise to new clients.

Sylvie's energy, positive attitude and persistent personal reinforcement drew me in to requesting her help and have continued to push me forward. She was coaching me to be more confident in my approach to clients and to gain, and develop, the required skills to sell myself.

When asked to set goals for where I wanted to be at the end of the coaching partnership, I started to be aware that there are many directions for my company to turn but Sylvie made me focus first on the short term (i.e. building a strong foundation, which I did not realize was missing but was in great need of getting straightened out) before venturing into the far future.

From the beginning, she has helped me identify the good things I like about this industry and the parts that have been challenging me and needed to be re-evaluated or revised. Then, she helped me discover ways in which I can get around some of  the challenges I am facing in my industry. These were obstacles I’ve been holding on to and couldn’t find the solutions on my own to move further.

Together, we have also worked on drawing out the obstacles that stood in my way personally and have made me realize how proud and positive I ought to be of my successes and of my abilities. Sylvie's constant belief in me, my talent, my intelligence, and my knowledge of the industry, has made me re-evaluate in a very empowering way how I express this to people. As a result, I am now well equipped to powerfully present the product that I provide to others and to deal with objections I get from prospect clients that used to paralyze me but is no longer a problem.

She has been very generous with her undivided attention and extra time. After such a short amount of time, I notice my progression and self-confidence has nicely increased. I certainly appreciate these achievements and will regard this coaching experience as a great success and will continue forward, calling on what I have learned.

I highly recommend Sylvie for a business or life coach. She is a great asset to any organization.

With Sylvie’s inspiration, I developed a belief in myself and was able to present my services with the posture and confidence of a business woman.

Sylvie was always there to propel my dreams and help me reach for higher goals, pushing my limits and matching me step for step as we walked together towards my chosen destination. She has phenomenal problem-solving skills – I cannot count how many times I would call her with a dilemma and she would provide sound input to put me right back on track.

I am still in awe at the amount of time and effort she dedicated to me and the special interest she took in my personal and business growth as I undertook this exciting journey. I don’t think I could have found a more dedicated or sincere mentor. I will always cherish the positive impact she made on my life.

Focused, professional and creative out-of-the-box thinker that I’ve met in a long time.

Before I began working with Sylvie, my business had slowed down and I was wondering what was missing into my recipe to attract more clients. Sylvie steered me in the right direction, lit a fire under me, and gave me the confidence I needed to do what I needed to rebuild my business. Her knowledge & insight into the beauty industry is vast and has a knack to quickly put her finger on a weak spot & offer various solutions and then implement them with a minimum of fuss. Her attributes of efficiency, reliability, and common sense allowed me to feel completely at ease.  In very little time, my team and bottom line were blooming again!

Coaches like Sylvie are very rare.

Dear Sylvie, just wanted to let you know what a fabulous Coach you are! You helped me tremendously in accomplishing my main goal of “writing my seminar” and helping me get clarity through all the information I had! You guided me in all the right directions needed and gave me the confidence to deliver my work to women who appreciated the wisdom.

Thank you for being a driving force in a gentle way. Thank you as well for helping me find my greatness and making me feel like a million dollars. You have been my coaching angel cheering me on all the way.  You have no idea how I never cease to praise you to all the amazing people I know!

Please know you have a special place in my heart.  Anybody who has the pleasure of hiring you to be their Coach has made a wonderful choice.

Coaches like you are very rare.  Thank you for your magic & your expertise. I’ve learned so much from you and I’m a better person because of you!  Merci for being the expert I needed.

Sylvie is incredibly professional and thorough in all she does…she is structured and has an extremely efficient approach.

Even though I have owned and operated a highly profitable restaurant for over 18 years, in the Toronto area, Sylvie brings a unique and vibrant approach to restaurant management and her coaching program taught me systems I can implement which has immediately improved the operation of my facility.

What I've learned to implement in the first 3 months allowed me to make more money. I also learned there are many things we are doing very well. This has boosted my confidence and placed a higher value on my business should I choose to create an exit strategy. If you are just starting a restaurant, Sylvie's program is a must. If you already own a restaurant, Sylvie's program is a must to increase your efficiency and your bottom line.

Sylvie will "WOW" you!
