SHLOMIT HELPED ME BREAK OUT OF THOUGHT PATTERNS AND THINK CREATIVELY
I find Shlomit unique in two aspects. First, she has extensive, wide-ranging knowledge, and can look at a problem from various angles. However, where others offer a superficial analysis, she brings in profound, methodological depth. Second, she is very analytical, and quick to understand new issues. The combination of a wide foundation, which converges quickly to a clear course of action, enables me to take her guidance and include it in my own process quickly and effectively.

SHLOMIT IS ANALYTICAL AND HELPS YOU TAKE ACTION
Shlomit is great at processing a large body of knowledge to make it easily accessible and actionable. This talent is combined with a unique perspective – having lived and worked with people from around the world, Shlomit has the power of being fluent in the language and culture while maintaining an outsider’s perspective. No less important, when she shares a different way of looking at things, it’s often humorous and makes it fun to see the world through her eyes. Regardless of perspective, Shlomit does make me laugh and smile, lightening any situation, and I feel I am talking to someone of substance and intellect, whether the topic is business strategy, the meaning of life, or surviving wedded bliss.

SHLOMIT IS BRILLIANT!
My first impression of Shlomit was her smile and warmth. She creates intimacy that isn’t flattery, but comes from genuine love of people. Every conversation we had, even on the most banal everyday topics, showcased her depth and knowledge. Understanding many different worlds, and being so analytical and integrative, she provides intelligent insights and a very creative, refreshing, valuable point of view. Shlomit is brilliant! Talking to her about my dilemmas was eye-opening. She offered angles that I couldn’t see before. If you work with Shlomit, she will know how to listen and deeply understand the place where you’re at, and find –with you — your own way out.
