Testimonials

“Myriam is the consummate business professional – intelligent, innovative, creative, and diligent. It is a pleasure working with her and her team at MCXtend to open up new markets and business opportunities for clients in Italy. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a seasoned professional in business consulting and coaching. ”

“I was fortunate to have seen Myriam in action during some work we were doing for the ICF. She is extremely creative and thoughtful in her communications and has an amazing way of sharing powerful insights that engages everyone around her. She is collaborative and a true team player. Although I have not been coached by her, I can tell she is a extremely valuable resource for her clients. Myriam is quite impressive!”
• William Arruda President of Reach Personal Branding
New York, NY (USA)

“Procrastination was the main challenge in the beginning, as well as the lack of a realistic and detailed action plan. I also did not know where and how to start working on my goal, nor was I sure if my business idea was realistic.
Myriam has been encouraging me all the way, which I consider the most important part of my coaching journey. Still, she did also question my statements critically from time to time and brought me back on track if I lost focus.
I particularly like that she has never told me what to do or how to decide, yet she has been asking me the right questions to which I mostly had known the answer before. Speaking it out loud and then writing it down for myself have brought all the thoughts in my head to reality, and reaching my goal has become more and more achievable and real.
My business plan has been growing “almost on its own” and I am impressed about how far I have come in the last couple of months. And this was only possible because of Myriam’s professional guidance. Thank you, Myriam.”

“Based on the initial session I had with Myriam, I was expecting great things. I expected that I would be able to accomplish all my goals. I now know that I made the right choice in choosing to work with her as my coach, because not only did I accomplish my goals, Myriam was EXCELLENT in supporting me to meet my expectations and then she was able to move me much further beyond those initial goals to achieve much more. Myriam is a true GEM and I believe the coaching profession will be greatly served with her as an ambassador to this great profession. Myriam has a great coaching presence and she is a fantastic listener. Her calming voice and inquisitive straight forward style serve her well in establishing trust and intimacy with her clients. I believe she has what it takes to be an outstanding coach.”
• Tyree Harris Sr., MS Ed., PC Owner of  Empowered Directions, LLC Life Coaching & Training
Charlotte, North Carolina (USA)

“When I realised that I needed to understand what direction to take in my career and life and how to get there, I decided to start with a coach. I met Myriam in person and chose her to be “my” coach because of her charisma and her personal professional experience. After 4 months I’m more convinced than ever that I have made the right choice, so much so that I have started recommending her to the people that are closest to me and that I value. First of all, I became aware of the challenges and obstacles that I needed to take care of or remove from my path. Then I found it very helpful to work with an action plan to achieve the goals that are important to me. Above all, I realized that I can really believe in myself. When working with Myriam I especially appreciate that she can be an anchor during “turbulence”, and that she is tenacious and professional.”
• Dr. Katia Triggiani Marketing Program Manager at Fujitsu Technology Solutions S.p.A
Milano (Italy)

“I had the pleasure of experiencing Myriam both as a manager for international business development and as coach – she is an experienced, reliable and creative professional! Myriam possesses the rare quality of listening attentively and developing out-of-the box solutions and ideas, always focused on obtaining best possible results. Her positive approach to professional and personal life is virtually contagious!”
• Marta Traverso Project Manager & Market Entry Consultant, Berlin (Germany)

“I really enjoyed having Myriam as my coach. When we first began coaching, I wanted to work on my business ideas. However, in the first couple sessions Myriam helped me realize there were other items I needed to address that, if left unmanaged, could impede my business success. Myriam helped me devise strategies to eliminate these blockers. I appreciated her persistent and targeted questions that took me where I needed to go. Coaching with Myriam was a great experience.”
• Demetris Booth Managing Program Director at Congruent Minds, Zurich (Switzerland)

CLARITY & ACTIONS SESSIONS

“I was trying to organize the best way to start my business, I had lots of ideas but they didn’t really complement each other. Also, I was stressing over whether to trust my judgement and gut feeling or not.
I was impressed with Myriam’s ability to see straight to the problem, both in the business and in the personal mindset! She made me see that my new ideas would fit much better if tailored into specializing in the real estate field, where all my experience has been since 2000. I truly feel that my business and I will benefit enormously from Myriam’s coaching.”
• Anna Letitia Cook
Owner of Anges du Bureau – VA and translation services for the international real estate market – www.angesdebureau.com
La Chapelle des Fougeretz (France)

“Myriam is an excellent career coach, who works highly efficiently and to the point. She was guiding the coaching session in a very clear manner, having always clear perspectives and innovative ideas. At the same time, she was highly flexible and was able to immediately adapt to new issues brought into the discussion by myself. The session we had took place in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and yet had an optimum of outcome for me. Although the session dates back some time, the results still have a great impact and inspiration. I know quite some coaches, but Myriam was outstanding. Definitely, this will not be last time I asked Myriam for coaching. I can highly recommend her and I am sure I am not the only one.”
• Dr. Volker Eyert Assistant Professor at University of Augsburg (Germany)

“I had the pleasure to have coaching sessions with Myriam. She helped me focus on issues and to untie the knots I was facing in my personality as well as my ideas to success. My sessions with her uncovered major obstacles that I saw disappear much more easily than I had envisaged, and some of them I was able to immediately turn to opportunities and strengths with Myriam’s creative outlook, intellectual provocation, and inspiration. I have come out of her sessions as a more focused and inspired leader, which has already brought me success. I have decided to consult Myriam for any future hurdles and creative inspiration and recommend her highly to everyone else. She is subtle and very effective.”
• Amit Mahajan Entrepreneur, Vienna (Austria)

“I had the chance to do a coaching session with Myriam recently and came out of it with a clear and sorted mind and an agenda for moving on. Since then, I have worked on my project and feel very confident about it. Myriam has the talent to create an open and personal atmosphere and to ask exactly the right questions to make you move forward. I have enjoyed the session a lot and hope to have some more in the future. Anyone in need of a career coach should get in touch with Myriam before looking further.”

GROUP COACHING “Insieme per il tuo lavoro” (”Together For Your Work”)

“The main reason why I decided to participate in the course “Insieme per il tuo lavoro” was because I wanted to understand what I was maybe doing wrong during my job search, why I was still unemployed after one year, and whether it all depended on how I wrote my resume or on how I faced interviews, or on the companies I approached or on the type of work that I was looking for. Now I realize that I have a talent and competence for something totally different from what I have always tried doing and done! I am working on my personal skills and experiences, and at the age of 42 I’m exploring what I could do when I grow up! I know it may sound funny – it sounded funny to me before – but now I truly believe that we can create a new start! This has been the most helpful part of coaching so far, feeling the desire and the courage to positively start a new path based on what I would really enjoy doing! I really value Myriam’s competence and reliability, and also the big avaiability and patience to always listen to each one of us. Also, she always had the right answer or question to our enquiries and doubts. You can immediately understand that you have a person in front of you who can help you. I would definitely recommend other people to work with Myriam. From what other participants also stated, I can say that she definitely exceeded all of our expectations.”
• Stefania Ercolini Alessandria (Italy)

“I decided to work with Myriam as a participant in the project “Insieme per il tuo lavoro” , with the objective of finding ways to promote myself in a focussed and effective way to find a job. Thanks to coaching with her I am discovering sides of me that I did not believe I had, or that I thought I had lost. And I am also re-gaining my self-esteem as well as my confidence in my abilities (and not only the work-related ones). I could define this as some sort of “re-birth”, since I am re-building my being, my personality and my potentials. Myriam is a person with big humanity, professional, goal-oriented and determined, stimulating, very prepared in her work and an excellent mediator. How could I not recommend others to work with her? Honestly I have already done so: I’ve talked about her with executives, with my brother who owns a company as well as with some partner companies that I personally know.”
