TESTIMONIALS
My experience with Estelle comes from a time when we both worked as Directors in Singapore, Estelle responsible for HR and me for Finance, both responsible for the whole Asia Pacific region. Estelle was the first HR Director located in the region. She had to build the HR function and establish herself as a new member of the management team. Estelle brought professionalism, HR standards and positive spirit to the whole APAC team. Estelle managed to meet every single employee in the region, learn about their job and specific environment of each country where these people worked. This included more than 10 countries. Estelle did not see a spreadsheet but a person with a story behind the spreadsheet. Eventually Estelle became a valued member of the APAC membership team and her voice was heard and respected, HR function in the region was in place and we managed to gain trust of both the leadership and the team in APAC.
Jakub, Group Finance Controller
From the offset Estelle was a key contributor to the business being responsible for talent acquisition, the hiring process and talent mapping for employee retention and development purposes. Estelle was a great business partner and very pragmatic with her approach to resolving challenges and suggesting approaches that would work best for the company and the talent concerned.
Joanna, VP of Sales
I met Estelle as colleagues during her tenure as HR Manager in the finance and consulting sectors. She has since become my career coach whenever I switched jobs or need some career advice.
What I find unique about Estelle is her wholistic approach to view the candidate’s life in 360 degrees, instead of restricting herself to only the work aspect. She has first person understanding of what female executives go through as a professional, a woman and a mother/ wife. As a result, she always gives me much needed clarity and empathy.
Winnie, APAC Marketing Manager
I had a big chance to meet Estelle and work with her through several months of difficult assignment period. Estelle is a top level professional with confirmed coaching skills. She captures the expectations and guides both partners and consultants in right direction. Estelle is definitely result orientated. I would strongly recommend Estelle to all people who want to improve their recruitment and need the guidelines to succeed in human resources.
Laurent, CEO/COO
Estelle has a unique ability to coach and listen. She is able to see and sense what is not said and bring it to light to create meaningful moments. I received very thoughtful and considered coaching and was impressed with this ability to listen perceptively and cut straight to the core. Estelle has pushed me to go and look deeper and the compassionate way in which she provided her coaching helped inspire me to tackle difficult issues and situations. I highly recommend Estelle for anyone looking for an empowering coach, who inspires courage by gently pushing you to own or reclaim your power within.
Amelie, APAC Marketing Director
Estelle not only demonstrates outstanding professionalism and organization skills, her attention to detail, patience & communication skills also made her a trusted advisor to many. Her years of experience in HR, provided valuable guidance and drive many successful HR projects. It has been a great pleasure to work with Estelle and I highly recommend her
Andrew, APAC VP of Presales
I believe in being the best version of yourself. Estelle has been instrumental in my career. She has a sharp mindset with a challenging approach that matches my achiever's profile. She also has the natural ability to create a safe place to gain perspective and has helped me build my personal awareness. I have no hesitation in recommending her services to any high level professional expecting concrete results and higher performances, or any company wanting to support the growth of their key managers
