"Sylvia Plester-Silk is a knowledgeable,
energetic and engaging presenter. Having known Sylvia for a number
of years, I was thrilled to learn that her practice has expanded to
include educational seminars. I was excited to invite her to
Renascent to present a workshop on boundaries and ethics in
professional practice. The workshop was well received by staff - and
was informative and thought provoking. In fact, we liked her so much
we have invited her back to do a workshop on Energetic Stress
Management! I would highly recommend Sylvia. Not only do you get a
seasoned professional with a wealth of knowledge, but you get a
dedicated and passionate presenter who ensures she is providing the
information needed. She's funny too -which makes the learning
process fun for all!"
Cathy Barrick, Director of Operations, Renascent
"I wanted to thank you again for the stress
management workshop you did with us.
I arrived there quite tired and moderately stressed-out, and was
noticing that I was carrying a large portion of said stress in my
back muscles and spine.
After we finished all of our techniques together, I was calmed in
quite a profound way. It was really quite amazing.
Thanks again for your time and energy, and for empowering me with
techniques I can use whenever I feel stressed!!"

"Thank you for speaking to the Business and Professional Women of KW
this week. We enjoyed your relaxed attitude and the entertaining
personal stories that you told. You're an engaging speaker, who
speaks with ease, and from your heart. We left the meeting feeling
uplifted and more accepting of who we are. Thank you for the
practical suggestions on how to make positive changes in our own
lives."
Elaine Mortensen, President BPW KW
"I recently attended Sylvia's Expanding Your Comfort Zone to
Increase Your Bottom Line Workshop. Sylvia did a great job of
leading us through some Improvisation exercises to expand our
comfort zone. It was very entertaining and enlightening. I would
highly recommend this workshop to groups or teams who want to work
together in a more productive and supportive way."

"We had Sylvia as our guest speaker for our AGM meeting this year in
May. For a night which could have proven to be very dry due to the
amount of business we had to discuss, it sure turned out to be a
fantastic and fun evening! Sylvia, with her natural enthusiasm and
ability to engage an audience, got us up out of our chairs, and in
no time we were laughing and having fun. I would recommend Sylvia
100% to any organization who either needs an energy boost, or who
needs to learn that life, even while working, can truly be fun."
Jody Hay, GWIN President
"Excellent job this evening on your presentation. It was engaging and
you wove the learning with the improv exercises in a way that was
very seamless and useful."
Lorna Wyllsun, Communication Works
"Sylvia and Sharon brought their workshop to our staff at a time when
we were feeling disconnected and isolated from the pace of our
work. There was resounding agreement that the workshop Sylvia and
Sharon led us through was a reconfirmation of why we do what we do
in our community work. We appreciated again the strength of our
team as we got to know each other better, see new elements of each
other that we don't recognize in the daily work, and gained new
skills and insights, particularly around communication. I recommend
Sylvia and Sharon as facilitators in shaking up any staff
complacency by leading them to broaden their thinking and their
approach to problem solving. The workshop was interactive, fun and
grounded by facilitators that are caring, skilled and thoughtful
people."

"Thanks you so much for your workshop on 'Expanding your Comfort
Zone'. I often play it safe and then feel like I've let myself down.
Your workshop showed me that mild discomfort is managable
and 'stepping out' gets easier with practice. It has been thought
provoking for me as I believe challenging yourself is a large part
of personal growth. I found your workshop dynamic, fun and engaging
and I feel that I have improved on meeting challenges in a more
direct manner.
Thank you so much,"
Paula Clarke

responsive to individual needs. I highly recommend any seminar or
workshop led by Sylvia."
