Silke is one of the most skilled and dynamic facilitators I've had the pleasure of working with. She prepares with a level of intensity and care that I've never seen in another facilitator, but then she steps in front of the group and simply wins it over with her passion, warmth, and humor. She brings deep expertise, excellent storytelling skills, and an ability to connect with people in a way that opens them to new ideas, surprising insights, and transformative learning.
