“Sanita is a pure listener, with a very strong business acumen, always able to elevate and summarize our conversations so that I could find the right path for a solution. We agreed on the objectives on day 1, and since then have been totally focused to make each session highly beneficial. I would have never been able to succeed in my role without Sanita's coaching.”
~ David Marchand, CEO, ICIX
"Sanita is an exceptionally gifted executive coach and thought partner. My leadership team and I have had the privilege of working with Sanita for the past year. Sanita has provided us with outstanding coaching services at both the organizational and individual levels. Working with my leadership team, she has helped us develop a stronger and more cohesive leadership culture. Her workshops have been well received by members of my team across the US and Africa. Sanita is extraordinarily talented at working in a multi-cultural organization like Village Enterprise. She has also coached and mentored me personally. Her ability to listen and understand the most important issues and concerns are her strengths. She has challenged my thinking and guided me through several important decisions during a high growth period for my organization. I highly recommend Sanita as an executive coach!"
- Dianne Calvi, CEO, Village Enterprise
“Having Sanita as a coach has been one of the most memorable and meaningful experiences of my life. Sanita has a very rare gift of enabling those who work with her to face the tough challenges and choices they face head on - and to gain confidence and poise throughout their journey of self-exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to shape career choices while realizing their values, respecting their quirks and honoring their holistic goals in life.”
~ Kathryn Hume, VP Product & Strategy
“When I started seeing Sanita, I was in a professional transition period, a bit lost in my job search and putting everything into question from my career choices to my skills and interests. I came out of our very first session invigorated by Sanita’s positive outlook. She immediately offered practical advice that allowed me to take actions leading to tangible improvements in my career prospects. I especially appreciate her flexibility and follow-through from session to session. Sanita is not here just to tell you what to do but to help you discover what you really want and what you can do to get it. She helped me realize what I wanted to change in my life and I’ve never felt so empowered now that she’s shown me how to take the first steps toward the realization of my best self. I wholeheartedly recommend her coaching services to anyone who needs a professional coach.”
~ Christine Goutaland, Co-Founder & Head of Operations at Greenscape Design
“The gains of the coaching sessions with you were, and still are, (sustainably) multiple, and at a number of levels. I must confess that I was skeptical at first, when my organization offered this service. I didn't think I would obtain concrete benefits. Your style and method did prove me totally wrong! I in fact learned to reflect on my work, deconstruct challenges in a way I had not before, start thinking about perspectives I had not even dared tackling, and to fundamentally review my vision and perception of work. It had something both liberating and enlightening to be able to speak with you openly about work-related issues and methods, without being judged, and receiving only constructive feedback, with a load of solutions. This seems to be possible only with a coach like you, who in a co-construction process achieved a change that seems impossible to reach with friends or colleagues.”
~ C.L.H., Policy Advisor
“The main benefit of coaching for me has been focus and self-awareness. My ongoing work with you has resulted in becoming more resilient in handling challenges in life. I have much better awareness of my strengths and direction where my strengths can take me.”
~ Marc Hankewich, Project Manager
“The coaching put me back on track! I am working in a complex environment, dealing on a day to day basis with pressure. I quickly became addicted to the sessions. First because it helped me to undertake my position of leader, regardless of the fear of making mistakes and taking the wrong decision. Secondly because it’s a self-reflection process that was life-saving, helped me to figure out how to manage my stress and stay focused on what is important for my career and in my personal life. Would I take back coaching sessions with Sanita Skribe-Negre? Definitely yes!”
~ Malika Groga-Bada, Social Cohesion & Reconciliation Specialist
“There have been many different discussions that impacted (and benefited me) in more than one way, but the biggest ones I'd say is now having a clarity on what I really want and guidance on how to get there. From there, making a path to get to what I really want and the framework to always come back to what matters to me and what does not. It is never easy as it sounds, and Sanita was exceptional in pushing and guiding through tough conversations. In the end, it makes so much sense.”
~ Milan Bobde, Director Product Management
“I would recommend working with Sanita if you’re at a point in your career where you are rethinking your next steps. I believe that her ability to help you ask the right questions and get you to reframe your situation can provide the clarity you need to move forward.”
~ Eric Warfel, Sr. Director, Digital Products
“The coaching sessions with Sanita forced me to take the time to think about my personal achievements, be focused on the positive of it, and get into a reflection of who I would like to be moving forward, what makes me move and happy. All of this combined gave me much more confidence about who I am, what I can/want to do and really help to be well prepared when you interact with others (interview, presentation, convincing, influencing...).”
~ Thibault Pelloux-Gervais, Senior Strategic Supplier Manager
“Having Sanita as a sounding board has really helped me clarify my ideas about the type of work that I want to do and the role that I want to fill in the workplace! She is thoughtful, knows just when to deliver some tough love, and is always supportive!”
~ Irene G., Non-Profit Attorney
“The coaching was a successful experience for me. I was at a stage of my life with a lot of questions about my professional success and path. I was even reconsidering completely my current career and domain of expertise. I found the exact needed support and help with Sanita's coaching. I started with all these doubts on my life and finished with a clear view about my future and equipped with a well-defined plan. The more amazing thing is that it was all done with me feeling I have done the reflection all by myself. This is what gives this feeling of empowerment and self-accomplishment at the end which is very important. Sanita’s way of work is very subtle and efficient. She has the right perception to understand your life’s problematic and she has the right tools to support you and always lead you in the right direction. Eventually, you are able to build your own plan. In addition, Sanita gave me a lot of documents or book references that I could use to help me answer my own questions (…). I’m really happy I asked Sanita’s help and I have now a clear mind and I’m ready for the following steps.”
~ P.L.C., Research Engineer
" After 18 months in a fast paced start up environment, I was looking for someone to help me to look back to my successes and challenges in my current position, so that I can continue to grow personally and professionally. I chose Sanita, for her outstanding ability to listen, understand and take into account my specific work environment. I very much appreciated that all actions and personal development opportunities she helped me to identify were actionable, simple and pragmatical. Sanita is an outstanding coach, and it is clear that her professional experiences in both small and large companies is a real plus."
