“I’m thrilled to share my heartfelt testimonial for Abby Silva. Over the last couple of years, Abby has played a huge role in transforming my professional journey and personal growth.
When I began counseling with Abby, I wanted to become a more effective communicator. But with Abby’s help, I have started a transformative journey to building strong bonds with my team, effectively communicating my vision, and bolstering my self-confidence. Abby didn’t just provide guidance; she became a trusted partner on this journey.

Abby has the ability to combine her clinical expertise with an understanding of the corporate world. She took the time to understand my specific circumstances, creating a warm and safe space where I could explore my thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Through our sessions, Abby helped me clarify my leadership style, refine my communication strategies, and equip me with practical tools to foster stronger connections with my team members.

Beyond the professional realm, Abby dedicated significant effort to bolster my self-confidence. We identified and dismantled limiting beliefs that had held me back for far too long. With her support, I was able to tap into my strengths and unlock my full potential as both a leader and an individual.

The impact of Abby’s clinical coaching extends beyond the workplace. Through our work together, I’ve also become a more confident and self-assured person in my personal life. I now navigate challenges resiliently and communicate effectively with colleagues and loved ones.

Abby’s ability to empathize, inspire, and guide me on my journey toward personal and professional growth is amazing. I am very grateful for the changes she has facilitated in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Abby Silva to anyone seeking to unlock their potential, strengthen their leadership skills, and enhance their overall well-being.

Thank you, Abby, for being an exceptional coach and a trusted ally in my quest to become a better leader and a more confident individual. Your support has been invaluable, and your impact immeasurable.”

“When it comes to expertise, Abby is in a league of her own. Her depth of knowledge in her field is evident in every project she undertakes. However, what truly sets Abby apart is her ability to communicate this knowledge. She possesses the skill of distilling complex information into digestible insights, making it accessible and understandable to all. Her relational skills are exemplary. Abby has a natural ability to connect with people, fostering relationships that are both genuine and meaningful. This, coupled with her outstanding communication skills, makes her a force to be reckoned with in collaborative settings.
Abby isn’t just a leader; she’s a leader to leaders. She effortlessly commands respect not through authority, but through the value she brings to the table and the respect she offers to others. Her guidance has been instrumental in shaping leaders. Abby is more than just an asset to any team or organization; she’s a keystone. I wholeheartedly endorse Abby Silva and am confident her contributions will be invaluable in everything she does.”

Chen

Business Owner – Scotland, United Kingdom

“Abby was in Scotland for 4 weeks during the summer of 2016. She totally changed me, saved my business and my relationship with my friend who is also my business partner. If it were not for our sessions I may well have thrown in the towel. Abby spent some time to observe, listen and get to know me. It was very powerful when she took me through my unconscious pain point. I understood why I think the way I think, why I act the way I act and why I was not successful in my business. She met with my business partner and I before her return to Canada. We were able to understand our attachment styles and our attachment triggers. This gave us greater understanding of our workplace challenges. We understand our roles better. Abby will continue to help us from a distance. I will really miss her!”

Keith

Maintenance & Engineering Manager, British Columbia

“I first met Abby approximately 6 years ago. She has helped me realize significant breakthroughs both personally and professionally. Abby helped me understand the impact and influence I have as a leader on the decisions and people within our organization. She often challenges me to understand the “why” behind what I’m feeling and to trust in my conscience when taking action. She helped me learn to communicate in a more constructive, honest way that has resulted in the development of more open and honest relationships at work and at home. She helped me find the courage to act purposefully and the confidence to trust myself and those I work with. It has been a true gift to work with Abby. I wouldn’t be the man or leader I am today without her and the work she has guided me through. She has had a profoundly positive and constructive influence on my life. I am and will be forever grateful for her. Thank you Abby.”

Jenn Business Owner (17 years)

“I sought out Abby’s mentorship at a time when my team and I lacked leadership, efficiency and shared vision. Through the use of individual sessions and group brainstorming, Abby helped us to re-focus and enliven our individual and team vitality where each member of the team, including myself, felt seen, heard and valued. We came out of the experience with appreciation of each other’s unique brilliance and a new approach for collaboration. Thank you, Abby!”
