“ I want to thank you for the great work you did with them [our executive

“From the first group of Leadership Development Associates this past
week in our sustainability workshop, we received many great comments about you and how helpful you have been to them individually and
collectively”.
Joanne De Palma Jones, International Human Resources Manager

"You have led me to explore a side of my personality and abilities that I
did not know I had, and I am so glad I did. [It is a] a self-exploration/research path that has resulted in unbelievable results, both from a business standpoint and a personal standpoint. Furthermore, I understand now how closely knit these two are.”
Mario Pacheco, Global Logistics Executive, Antwerp

"I just wanted to let you know how much I've appreciated our coaching
contract and relationship. You have given me far more than the material
investment has cost and I know that it will continue to pay dividends. I
believe I'm a better global citizen today than I was before we began and that testimony comes despite my years of international experience."

Coach Training Programme Participants

“Having just finished seven months of an ICF certified coaching program in Paris, I was looking for a program that was more specific to my interest in business and my clients' needs as global executives. …I met Hannah Wilder in February [2005] and immediately joined the multinational, multicultural group led by a woman with all the global experience I was looking for. I have learned so much more about myself and about the world in which my clients as high-level executives find themselves. Not only have I developed personal and professional competencies which enable me to better understand
the global corporate environment, I have met people and made friends around the world involved in the coaching field.
Maureen Rabotin, Intercultural Executive Coach
Paris & West Palm Beach, Florida

“With more than 20 years' international corporate communications
experience working for a leading player in global Information, Communications & Technologies, I was looking for a programme that would enhance my career and fully prepare me to coach global executives. Before making my selection I carried out extensive research and reviewed programmes at a number of executive coach training institutions. Advantara® stood out from the others in that it offers so much more than the basic ICF training requirements and has a strong emphasis on cross-cultural awareness and the world of global
business. I was also drawn by the fact that Advantara® is not just a training institute but also operates as a global executive coaching organization, with associate coaches offering services across the world. Another key factor in making my choice was Hannah Wilder’s outstanding reputation and her personal response to my enquiry. … all my expectations for the programme have been met and in some ways exceeded
Beverley Robinson

” I saw Hannah leading a coaching session at a SEITAR [Society for
Intercultural Training and Research] congress and was very impressed by her coaching skills so I immediately enrolled in her program. As a direct result of the program not only have I successfully embarked upon coaching activities in multinationals in Italy but I have also incorporated the coaching approach into my training and consulting activities with noticeably successful results. The sheer depth and scope of the program is unique among coaching programs at present on offer and the contents have been of great value to me both professionally and personally. The international mix of course participants has also contributed greatly to the richness of the program
and thrown valuable light on the cross-cultural issues facing a coach in today's global context. I thoroughly recommend this coaching program”.
Louise Evans

Advantara's Global Executive Coach Training program provides a
complete program for the professional to work skilfully with global
executives. As a former Board Member in an Asian corporation, I appreciated both the intercultural aspects and the practical business coaching and training, which is very useful in the Asian framework. I have the highest regard for Advantara®'s approach and founder, Hannah S. Wilder, who has become a trusted colleague and friend.

Mi experiencia con Hannah fue muy productiva. Creo que hay algo muy epecial en ella que logra transmitir a los participantes. Se trata de un viaje al interior de uno mismo con retorno, pero no a la misma estación de origen. El programa Advantara me pareció una experiencia intensa y enriquecedora. Una experiencia que pude compartir con personas de diferentes países y mentalidades. Algo difícil de olvidar. Un nuevo paradigma, un Nuevo enfoque en mi vida. ¡Gracias, Hannah!
Héctor Muñoz Anaya
Barcelona, Spain

After 20 years in the corporate world and a lot of joyful experience as
intercultural mediator, facilitator of teambuilding events, technical and soft skill trainings I switched career and after several coach educations (the latest at the University of Jena as "Intercultural Trainer/Coach") I finally found [Advantara®] Training lead by Hannah S. Wilder, which perfectly combines my interests in the special aspects of coaching international leaders in an intercultural environment. Why another education? It's like adding the final touches ... this program combines in all together the aspects of "global", "executive" and "coaching". And I got much more. I feel honoured to be in a small international group of highly qualified and experienced people, receiving training from one of the most experienced certified global executive coaches.
Comprehensive material and a wide range of experiences are being
shared. A strong community was built in this mind expanding journey.
Andreas Stoy

[I chose Advantara®'s Global Executive Coach Training Program because of] The very fact that it had a global orientation; the length and frequency of the programme which indicated a serious coaching approach to me; the programme leader and her international experience. What has been most valuable especially in contrast with other programs I have gone through] is (1) Both the breadth and the width of topics related to global executive coaching (2) Having the opportunity to coach, being coached or observe a coaching situation and reflect on it together as a learning team in the majority of classes (3) The Learning Team – going through the process with a group of like-minded yet very diverse colleagues and the inspiration and learning
that has come from that.
Irene Öhler
Brasilia, Brazil

Besides an excellent global executive coach development program,
Advantara® has given me a profound opportunity to raise my awareness on a deeply personal level as well as on a professional level. As an enormous side benefit I was challenged to develop skills in all fields of the electronic world which will be of overall importance for my future work as a coach.
Inger Christoffersen, Florence, Italy

It is the only true global executive coach training I know of taught by a
credible instructor. I definitely recommend this program to other executive coaches.
