INVITE CAMELIA TO SPEAK

Paul Spackman, Chair, Parnell Business Association

"I fully recommend Camelia to anyone wanting to learn about leadership and how to apply the skills to both everyday situations and business. Having worked in the past consulting and training in leadership, Camelia takes the understanding and training to a superior level to anything I have previously experienced."

David White, Transformational Master Coach

"Attending the Compassionate Communication (Nonviolent Communication) course run by Camelia significantly changed my life. She taught the importance of "Intention to Connect" - that it is the mindset behind my conversations that allows me now to seek to "make life more wonderful for those around me" in each conversation at work or outside work. "

Orquidea Tamayo Mortera, Global Therapeutic Recreation Leader

"Camelia is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is not
Only Profesional, but has the fantastic ability to fully understand the audience and tailor her approach in the moment for people to get the best out of her sessions. My team of 40+ had a great session with her and they all have expressed over and over again how fantastic her session was. I would like to acknowledge her mahi and I look forward to keep working with her."

Chris Lynch, Global Therapeutic Recreation Leader

"We all know that effective leadership and management is a process of communication. My life has been enriched through attending her one-to-one coaching or by participating in her courses. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. Camelia’s courses are informative, fun, motivational, inspiring, and thought-provoking. I have been to other courses, webinars, or workshops, but nothing compares to Camelia’s level of knowledge, understanding of topic and her dedication."
