Catherine Wijnberg, CEO of Fetola

I had the privilege of serving on an industry-related NPO board with Marlene (who was Chair) for several years, and I highly recommend her professionalism, expertise, empathy for people, and all-around business acumen and character!

Ian Sutherland – Author, Publisher, and Business Strategist

I have worked with Helene for more many years, and admired her abilities and character when she was a very dynamic and young HR director, and later as a trainer and performance improvement consultant. If I were to bring someone into my business to deal with improving a management team’s performance, she would certainly be on top of my list. She is forthright, resilient, honest and yet sensitive & intuitive. She has a excellent knowledge of the Nuclear business, and in particular improving management effectiveness.

Ian Moss
Chancellor ENEC leadership development, Nuclear Leadership Expert Consultant

Marketing, Branding, Websites & Socials combined with Strategic Thinking and a little Sparkle ✨ I felt an instant connection with Helene at our first meeting. Not only is she warm and authentic but she is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in her field. Whether it's one-on-one interaction or a group setting, Helene is well-equipped to navigate all the complexities required to facilitate and lead strategic and team-building sessions. She introduced our team to the Positive Intelligent (PQ) course which, with no exaggeration, was life-changing, to say the least. Helene's coaching and leadership transformed my life personally and professionally for the better. Don't underestimate this firecracker when you first meet her... Do the course and find out for yourself.
