"Client: Grosvenor Group Limited: “I was fortunate enough to be invited by Sylvia to work with her as part of her Reward mentoring pilot programme. Sylvia worked with me specifically on the challenges one faces in deciding on Executive Reward and it's components and specifically relating to the ever changing FSA regulations. I found Sylvia to be attentive, thoughtful and pragmatic. Her coaching sessions were well thought through and planned ahead of time often with pre-reading associated with them or live case work. Sylvia was also able to give thoughts on broader business/commercial issues which heavily influence Reward decisions within a business.”
“On a personal level I found Sylvia to be supportive, a good listener and genuinely interested in decisions I took with her guidance. I think that Sylvia's ability to understand strategic Reward issues at the most senior level within organisations together with her pragmatic, uncomplicated approach to solving problems enables her to be a successful and professional mentor.
