What the
clients say
?
She facilitated the meeting in such a way that we quickly developed a tight bond, focused around trust, understanding and confidence.
Monica challenged me and enabled me to develop alternative approaches and thinking, which I still use to this day - both at work and at home!
I never felt I was being told what to do, it was always a decision of mine to make but Monica explored alternatives through my own ideas, meaning I owned my future.
Monica’s experience, her ease to connect with another person and her interpersonal skills made the reservations go away very quickly and allowed me to open up.
Monica’s professional manner of leading the conversations, allowed me to look at my reality from a different perspective and find myself in it.
Her professional and full of understanding approach to people makes working with her extremely effective and pleasant.
The meetings opened my eyes to everything which was beyond my consciousness. It allowed me to look at people in a different way, their actions and behaviors and accept myself in such situations.
It gave me more confidence, as well as the tools, which I can use to find answers on my own.
What I like in Monica the most, is the fact she doesn’t give up when facing resistance from the client’s side.
She pours her heart into the work, she strives to get to know and understand the other person, to help them find the best path.
The one-on-one sessions were amazing and really helped me to improve on both a professional and personal level.
Monica has special skills to find the best "voice" with the person she is speaking to. Therefore she is trustworthy and authentic both from personal and professional point of view.
You are a person who possesses both substantial theoretical and practical knowledge. The fact you are a person of high ethics, morality and you are also trustworthy, is crucial to me.

Because of Monica’s personality and skills, the workshops became a strong incentive to change.
Monica’s knowledge, experience and professionalism seen in her preparation and approach were impressive.
Openness and flexibility in working with a group allow her to respond to participants’ needs, as well as to shape the workflow to optimize their benefits.
Training modules run by Monica Panas are characterized by high quality of content. Although, without her interpersonal skills, they would not be so effective.
