Testimonials |

As a nonprofit organization, we have used SBI as consulting services for over 10 years in a variety of areas. In the last year we have engaged Edith Tiencken in a leadership development program including our supervisors, managers, and directors in our organization. Edith is insightful with a keen knowledge of workplace psychology, communication, conflict resolution, core competencies, company culture, team building, and employee motivation. The workshops and training sessions she has led have built a stronger more cohesive team at our organization. Edith’s style is to involve participants to take ownership of the program in a collaborative setting. I highly recommend SBI.
David Price, President & CEO of Bok Tower Gardens

It was my belief that discipline, and order were the key elements to developing a successful company. Edith Tiencken taught me that the real element to successful leadership is based on being true to your values, your principles, your competencies and above all true to people and their attitudes. Edith showed me the way to strategic communication, to think of timely and assertive communication and to accept others’ ideas and use these ideas to complement my knowledge. I now believe my collaborators good intentions oriented me towards many different elements of success in an organization. I am grateful that life placed Edith on my path. Today I have a mentor, I have support, I have a backup, I have a mirror to reflect on, but above all, I have a friend who taught me the meaning of loyalty and trust.
Michel Yitani, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Empresas Marco Polo

When one believes that specialized “external” training is required to improve my leadership as a manager of the company, an extraordinary personalized “coaching” made me see that much of what I had to transform was within me. The most grateful are those around me.

Edith and I have worked together for many years now. I have been her immediate supervisor, but it felt more like a peer/ colleague relationship. Discussions about strategy and best design of processes to engage the growth opportunities have always been insightful and on point. A conversation with Edith enables the executive to see the vision of what could be. We all want to jump on board because we know it is possible and she will provide the tools and guidance to make it happen. Her creativity is boundless and no matter the situation, she works to understand the uniqueness of the company to determine the best possible solution to move them forward.
