"Sheila gave me my confidence back. She was a coach, supervisor and English trainer all rolled into one for me. Altogether I can recommend her as a professional, perfect and free-spirited trainer."

"What is special about my sessions with Sheila is the fact that she adds additional value with topics ranging from presentations and communication skills to inter-cultural aspects which I find very useful both in my work and personally."

"Because of the demands of my job, I needed a specific type of trainer. When I met Sheila I was surprised and delighted to have found a trainer so quickly who was able to fulfil my needs. Not only did I look forward to every session (which had never been the case before), I was also taught new things with an easiness I had never thought possible.
Sheila detected my weaknesses instantly and knew how to adjust quickly to me and my problems - always proceeding sensitively and knowledgably even in difficult situations.
She is proficient in many areas. When you have reached a goal, you are looking for a new one so that you can continue being taught by her. It is an enriching experience and you can never learn enough. She is a motivator!
There are no limits to my enthusiasm concerning Sheila, the person and the trainer -she is reliable, analytical, flexible, sensitive, humorous. If I had to award points, she would definitely receive top marks."

"Sheila started teaching me English but after identifying my needs in order to become a technical trainer and to do technical presentations within my company, I discovered that she can transfer these inter-cultural, training and presentation skills very efficiently.
I developed quickly and my coaches have given me excellent feedback that I had never expected to achieve. My bosses are also very impressed with my performance as a trainer and a coach. Thanks,Sheila." "

"I was a member of one of Sheila's Presentation skills courses in Vienna recently. One of the exercises was giving one of my old presentations to a group of people that played the role of buyer. To be honest I can tell you that about 60% of my presentation was experienced as interesting, but totally irrelevant. You can understand that I was shocked. The result was my change of thinking about how we should approach our clients.
I had expected this training would be mainly to improve our English and would keep to the basics of presentation skills. The opposite is true: we learned many skills in order to improve our message in any presentation, how to build a presentation, how to make it interesting and, most important, how to make your point and keep it to only relevant information."

"Working with Sheila was a great experience for me:
I started working with her, because I had to give a presentation at an international conference in English and wanted Sheila to prepare me for this.
But Sheila did much more than that: in only 10 units I she gave me a tailor-made personal language-training, a presentation-seminar and a coaching for my self-confidence!
When we started to work together, I felt very uncertain to and I was sure that I would make a complete fool of myself at the conference.
After we identified my objectives, Sheila helped me to reach them in a very playful, easy and unique way. I never felt I was "working hard" or exhausted.
With Sheila's help I was able to find my own way through my presentation so that it matched to me and my way of speaking. She recognized my needs but also focused on my strengths - a perfect coach. "

"Sheila Purdy's way of teaching, her methods, are very natural, and especially adapted to the group and to the language skills of every single person. The focus on communication, discussions about real situations and the role plays were particularly good.
Sheila PURDY is not a 'normal' trainer.
She has an extraordinary gift to teach."
