She has deep expertise on a range of talent development topics and is an extremely reliable source of knowledge and information. She can quickly assess a situation and develop an inventive, appropriate strategy or solution. She is highly flexible and responds well to feedback, but will strongly champion an idea. Her ideas are research-based and well thought out. She has great classroom presence and was immediately credible with sr. leaders. She quickly became my go-to resource, and my "right-hand" for leadership and management development. She's a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend her highly enough."
Elyse Stein, PhD -- Director, Leadership Development
"I have had the pleasure of working with Sonya both in the capacity of an internal Learning and Development professional and as an external consultant. In both capacities she has been able to bring to the table her deep knowledge of L and OD and her customer services skills. Most recently I worked with her as an external consultant, in this role she helped us in developing and launching our New Manager training; she was instrumental on working with us on developing the gap analysis, understanding our culture and challenges and then developing content that was appropriate and suitable for us. She quickly managed to get credibility from our management audience by delivering the content from our perspective and assimilating to our culture and needs. Throughout this experience she always was willing to share her knowledge and helped in training our internal staff so that we could conduct the training in house. I see her as an educator, who has enabled us to raise the bar for our in-house training and development." Talat Tehranchi -- HR Business Partner
"Sonya facilitated HBDI thinking preferences assessment and discussion during the offsite of my Talent Acquisition team. Prior to the meeting, Sonya seek to understand why I wanted to do the test and what my expectations were. Sonya was personable and matched the energy and the style of the team, expertly knowing when to provide more context and information and when to let the team engage in their discussions wanting to know and understand each other's style. This was the highlight of our offsite and the team wants to continue to incorporate the knowledge we gained from this session into our daily work with one another."
