Testimonies from previous participants

• “Thank you very much for another brilliant presentation Ricky. Your style is so powerful and inspiring. You are the ultimate champ in my book”
  Peter Lund, CEO Pevali Group.
• “I engaged Ricky to focus my priorities, and establish where and how my time will best be spent in order to achieve those priorities. She was appropriately strict with me and pushed me to first identify, and then question, some assumptions which were limiting my thinking. I enjoyed Ricky’s direct and no nonsense style.  She’s not afraid to give her view and suggest solutions/actions, and she was flexible and easy to work with.”
  Partner, Legal Firm.
• “I’m very fortunate to have Ricky as mentor for the nominated program with Women in Banking & Finance. With Ricky’s professionalism, warm approach, and some punchy questions, I could soon identify areas that most need improvement and work towards it. Not only I gained so much during the coaching session, Ricky is very diligently answered all my questions with additional resources support. Although the program is short (only four coaching sessions), I have really clarified the biggest confusion point for my future career and could soon form the action plan after the program. Highly recommend Ricky and I’d love to work with her again in the future.” Z Ding.
