“Sandro is a brilliant facilitator and executive coach with many years of experience!
We worked together at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Executive Education, where he successfully ran multiple leadership workshops.
He is extremely enthusiastic about his work which is infectious, makes it fun to learn, and easy to remember. He always has a creative, positive outlook and he's good at organizing and bringing people together. His presentation style is open and inviting to questions, engaging, and thorough.
If you have development needs, and want to have fun while learning, hire Sandro! He's the best!
Anne MaccottaOrganizational Development Specialist EMEA, ME, Asia Pacific Core Laboratories
“I worked with Sandro over a full calendar year, through several coaching sessions, to get a better strategic view on the business and to sell the vision, internally and externally.
Sandro is a very patient person, always reflecting back at the end of each session how we did and what we can/should improve. He has a wide experience in coaching which gives him the right tools to go deep into the topic and to find the real spots where to improve. He gives new views on the person, the business and the relation in working with others as a person in the current business environment. Sandro has a strong character, eager to learn and even more eager to share and teach.
Therefore I would strongly recommend Sandro for a coaching task.

Bradley LangHead of RSM Amsterdam Office Learning & Development Professional
“The power of coaching Sandro da Silva provides is that you will not be led by him. Sandro tries to listen carefully to how you see yourself, what words you use and your body language communicates. From there, he asks you the right yet challenging questions, and as a consequence you find yourself the solutions you would never think of. It is so powerful!
The solutions emerge 100% from yourself and therefore you believe them 100%. And you immediately take action and book results. You act much faster and are also more likely to do something about it. Below are the personal goals (of these first 4 months) I have achieved thanks to Sandro:
* Learning to say no to the things I do not really want to do (integrity).
* Prioritize and maintain my focus. Time management.
* Break my goals into doable pieces. I used to have excuses for not achieving certain goals, and I used to say I was 'not ready' yet. However, this was because I immediately had the final product in my mind and wanted to achieve that at once. With Sandro we worked on an start goal, which makes me realize (at the time I write this) that I am making my dream come true, something I had wanted for four years already.
* Unlearning bad habits so that I can live healthier, happier and more consciously.

Hajo LotgerinkSenior Training Developer at ASML
“I had the chance to talk to Sandro when I had to make important decisions to quick start my career. He proved to be very professional, trustworthy and empathic.
When he saw I was deviating from my goal he always knew how to direct me back to the right track to efficiently reach it. During our talk, he helped me to look deep into myself and become aware of my strengths, weaknesses as well as my behavior. His feedback and questions helped me identify what really motivates me and how that can be both an asset and a potential risk.
I heartily recommend Sandro and would be happy to be coached again by him in the future or hire him for corporate training projects.

“It is a real revelation for me that things in your life can really change. And that Sandro very subtlety but effectively helps you and holds you alert. Until you can carry on by yourself.
Because of this experience I have come to realize that you are the only one who can change something. And that you really have to work for it. Sandro has taught me that, and given me all the support I could wish for.
I've learned to do things differently, to observe moments and so become aware of behavior, action and reaction. And then do things differently so that you come closer to yourself and become more balanced and happier.
To those who after all those sessions with psychiatrists and psychologists, yet have failed to tackle things in their lives I say, "Do it yourself! With Sandro!"

Director at The Machinist
*************************************************************************
I enrolled myself to be coached by you because I felt I had to choose what I wanted with my life. Almost thirty years old and still much to do. But what should I do?
After one year of making lists and weighing in, nothing ever changed. I found myself still busy at work, restless and dissatisfied as another year passed. I couldn't find a way out with my lists, or at least make decisions. What was happening was so new. I felt that perhaps a new approach would produce something. So once again I decided to try a "coach".
After six sessions with you, I find that I have lost a lot of my anxiety. I am more aware of life and happier. My doubts about my current position, my career and my purpose in life are largely gone. I feel that I have everything a little more in my hands. I realize that you yourself give meaning to your own life and may act accordingly. That gives me a lot of peace of mind and tranquility, which allows me to make choices and to be doing the things I really enjoy.
You have helped me to achieve that by asking critical questions, by being focused and keeping me action-oriented. Your approach is characterized by your no-nonsenseness, your clarity and your passion. No phony interest or wisdom clichés. You really try to understand how it is and try to contribute to achieving sustainable change. Besides, your way of coaching promotes self-reflection. That is good and ensures that insights crystallize.
All in all I think you're very good at your job. Previous experiences with other coaches, peer reviews etc. cannot be compared to the effectiveness and added value of the process we have gone through together.
Many thanks!

“I felt completely reborn after the session!
Coach
“The whole coaching story interested me a while because I wanted to make my life easier. Mentally easier. I had tried it in the past I had but it was not what I wanted, because it gave me no answers or solutions. That's how I saw it then. Due to regular reading and yoga, I wanted to see a few things in my life change.
When I arrived at Sandro, we quickly uncovered what the core of my issue was. I was also aware of it, but was not sure how I had to solve or change it. We gradually developed more insight and understanding of my situation through exercises, by breaking examples down, by having a large mirror help up to my face, and by my daring to be honest. You sit with Sandro ultimately for yourself. I quickly achieved results, like no more thinking for others, not really worrying about the future nor the past. And that was actually the biggest eye-opener for me: to live at the moment.
Now that I'm done with the coaching process, I can truly say that I have profited a lot from you. A full-time job combined with setting up a new company is heavy, but because my mind no longer takes control, I've become a calmer person.
Entrepreneur, 30 years old
“You're the just the right person people need to get that little push towards the next step!

“I think you're very concerned and attentive and thanks to you I have now restructured things and all is more organized. I've also learned to set action points for myself.
You are critical and observant in a pleasant way. You really know what you're doing!
Entrepreneur, counselor and coach. 56 years old
“Coaching has made me more aware of the way I think. It does not happen 1, 2, 3, but it has certainly helped me. I have tried to adapt a few things, and now I notice that it's easier for me to assume a different perspective.
Through coaching you will pretty much get face to face with yourself, as if you have a mirror held up to you. Because you've developed a certain pattern throughout the years, you can only break it if you dare to experience that confrontation and keep on practicing. You'll look at situations in a different way.
Plenty of nice eye-openers!
Leader, 26 years old
“I looked for Sandro because I needed a coach to help me give structure to my life, and to find the best way to achieve my goal: to begin a new phase in my life with more balance, in an easier way. This new phase was mainly characterized by our move to a new house in a new city, by meeting new people, as well as by our children's entering school age. Maybe something very small for many. For me a big challenge.
Our session was very good, comfortable and relaxing. But it was very difficult at many times. Because of the questions Sandro asked, and the way he led our conversation, I was constantly confronted with my limitations, my fears and frustrations. It's amazing how many things came up to the surface in a single session. But I felt the presence of the coach the whole time as support, as the light that guided me so that I could find my own way.
It has helped me set my own goals and determine which tools I can use to achieve them. What I found interesting was the subtlety with which the session was held. At no time did I feel prejudiced or criticized, or forced to find a solution or to go beyond my limits. All the tools I found to achieve my goal were mine, and they were very simple. Small changes in my daily routine had a big impact. Everything was within reach, but only with the help of my coach I could finally see it.
Then came the period in which I had to put it into practice, in order to experience my life in a lighter, more balanced way. I felt very strong! I often thought back of our session and knew that the success of the process was my responsibility. And that's how it was! Of course there were many factors that I was unable to anticipate then, but even then I felt strong to overcome these situations and transform them to my advantage!
The most valuable lesson I learned is to create a moment of peace, think and then take small steps so that I can achieve or solve something, whether personal, emotional or professional. I am very pleased with my experience and will come back soon. My next goal is to return to work after a period of 5 years away from the market. I am sure that a coaching session will get me ready for this new challenge.
37 years old
“In a period of 2 months I was coached by Sandro twice. I was facing certain things I couldn't really say what their reason was, nor what I could do about them. After having a session with Sandro, I could finally say what it was. In one sentence! That was very enlightening for me. It's unbelievable to be able to translate a whole session in one sentence.
It gave me a very clear picture of what I was facing and how to deal with it. The session has done a lot to me, consciously and unconsciously. I started thinking in a whole different way, and have therefore pleasant experiences in my work and home life. I understand now why I feel what I feel, and I have found tools to deal with it. I am really amazed at how two sessions have changed me in all I do, in a positive way.
