What my clients are saying
"For two years, I had been unsuccessfully searching for a consultant to facilitate a training that was both practical, sufficiently interactive, and based on the trainer's experiences. Thanks to a technical proposal from Esther Lehmann-Sow, which fully met our expectations, the training was conducted with exceptional professionalism and quality, exceeding the expectations of the participants and our management.
I highly recommend Esther for any training needs, especially in areas related to international development work."
Charles Bakhoum, World Vision International Mauritania
“We had the pleasure of working with Esther as a consultant, in analyzing the workplace culture issues.
Each session was thoughtfully facilitated, ensuring that every one of our staff felt heard and respected.
The sensitivity with which Esther approached every discussion allowed people to openly share their thoughts and concerns without fear of judgment.
She was skillful in providing invaluable insights and strategies to address the issues.
I highly recommend Esther to any organization seeking a knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic coach and consultant.”
