Bio
Gabrielle de Wardener
Extraordinarily accomplished - highly-qualified, well-travelled and multi-lingual - Sanda is one of the most intelligent and driven people I have ever worked with, yet she wears these attributes lightly. She is organised, always delivering on her promises. She thinks deeply, and her insight, coupled with her coaching and facilitation skills, will make her a formidable member of any team.
Richard Atienza-Hawkes
Sanda is an exceptional practitioner and strategist. She brings an incredible energy and lightness to her work, combined with insightful, intelligent and practical approaches to delivering cultural change at an individual, team and organisational level. Her coaching ability rapidly translates into sustainable change and high performance improvements for her clients. It is always a pleasure working with Sanda who always provides new and valuable perspectives on complex and dynamic situations as well as a great sense of humour!
