I went looking for a mentor through the Women in Technology mentoring program to improve myself as I want to be the best version of myself. I’ve had some challenges in growing my business and I wanted a mentor to assist me. I accepted Thene as the proposed mentor based on her vast experience in both business and coaching. What was the most helpful to me was her ability to ask deep and thought-provoking questions. I was able to create new boundaries for myself and see a new perspective in my thinking.
I would absolutely recommend her to others based on her gentle and patient style and manner, working with whatever I brought into the room, with no judgement. I’ m giving her 5 gold stars for my experience working with her. Thene has left an indelible mark on how I think about my work, my clients and my time. She's helped me build confidence and back myself in the way I approach projects and people. I've definitely learned new life skills through my sessions with her.

I reached out to Thene as I am at a crossroads in my professional life. I needed help looking at my situation from a different perspective, help me free my mind from being overwhelmed as there is a lot out there and sometimes it can be best to step back and talk to someone who has a neutral take, someone who can listen and calm your nerves to help you think clearly and help you take an informed decision without apprehensions.

She helped me become proud of my achievements and be brave enough to take action without fear. She helped me put a face to my LinkedIn profile after 17 years. You can imagine her influence on me.

I feel more confident and I know if I want to SHINE I need to ask for help and go the extra mile to succeed. I also was made familiar with my strengths and dreams and I am focused to achieve better.

Talk to Thene and she will help you shine and get you back on track. Thene not only listens but has an interesting way of helping you open up and be brave and aware in ways you may have never reflected on.

I signed up to work with Thene to get organized and finish my master’s thesis, while running adult life. I knew Thene through a friend, tried a couple of complementary sessions, and decided that I liked her insight. Through our sessions, she helped me find many of the issues that were in the way with a very positive and proactive approach. Now, I’m better able and more creative in my approach to problems, rather than guilt-ridden.

I would definitively recommend Thene. She helped me get unstuck in many ways without digging into the past. She also shared many extra useful resources on topics like organization, crucial communication, perspective on present and future projects, while showing me how to take things a few days at a time.

I met Thene when I was attending a women’s organization in Phoenix Arizona. I had a list of goals that I wanted to accomplish and Thene volunteered to mentor me for a year to help me obtain them. We met every Monday for one whole year; something I couldn’t have done with someone who did not encourage and push me through the tough times like she did.

I had aspirations of working toward certain career goals but was sidelined when she helped me realize that I needed to work on my core which therefore build a base to grow from.

I dare to say that Thene is a very pivotal person in my life that I personally think was sent to me when I needed someone most. She knows every avenue of the professional world while having a very strong and tenacious spiritual side that can see through the bottom line of what is needed to accomplish a goal.

I remain forever grateful for Thene’s dedication and determination to help me obtain my goals with kindness and savvy. I would not be the strong, goal oriented person today without her.

I needed somebody who I could talk to in depth about my career. I work in Hospitality but my goal is to become a full time Photographer in the next 5 years. I’ve known Thene for more than 5 years and I knew she was a great coach! She has a sharp mind and I realy like how she thinks 🙂

Thene makes the best questions! Every time we talk, she asks me something that makes me think of a better way of doing things! As a result of our conversations, I am heading towards my goal of being a great Photographer 😀

I am recommending Thene all of the time to my friends! Everybody who has a goal would benefit a lot by having Thene on his/her side! She will make sure you will keep on track and she will not let you loose focus 🙂

I am so grateful for having Thene in my life!!!

Initially, I sought assistance to enhance my English communication skills, recognizing a need to refine my communication for optimal outcomes. Following several sessions, our discussions evolved to encompass topics such as leadership and Agile, providing a platform to engage in meaningful exchanges and leverage the insights of an experienced counterpart.

Thene stood out as the initial individual in my memory, primarily due to her being a native speaker. Furthermore, my familiarity with her facilitated a mutually advantageous scenario, expediting our progress in this journey.

The trigger for my own improvement was always a mix of different things. Brainstorming ideas with someone who has more experience than you, especially in areas like leadership, will help you think outside of the box and adjust the initial journey or plan that you had in mind.

My outcomes? Firstly, I believe my English has improved to the point where I now feel comfortable speaking with any stakeholder in my daily interactions. Additionally, Thene has helped me gain more maturity and knowledge in handling difficult situations that I had never encountered before.

I would definitely recommend Thene. She has a lot of experience that could help you think outside the box, unblock obstacles, and improve in the future.

Our time together was great, coaching for me was like cleaning the dust on my mind, asking myself why every time, until I find an answer with my heart that is going to lead me on my path. Looking at things from different perspectives showed me that there is always more than just one open door when you want to go for a fresh start. I feel very happy and very encouraged at this moment in my life, knowing that if I am okay, everything will be okay also!

Thene is very smart, delicate and able to get the best out of you. Just by talking for two or three minutes with her, you will see that she is able to get keywords from your speech and face you with them! When you listen to what you have just said, but from her voice it looks very different and simple. Thene will conduct you on your own path, when talking with her you will feel and realize by yourself everything you need to do and every step your heart will say for you to follow 💕
