Words from clients

Engaging with clients and participating in their life journeys is a profoundly meaningful experience for both them and me. Throughout the process, elements such as exposure, acceptance, learning, growth, and resilience hold significant value. It is a deeply personal and moving experience—we reflect in awe on where we began, the paths we navigated, and the goals we achieved together.

Several clients have generously shared their reflections on what they experienced and the significance of this journey for them.

I’m excited to share their insights with you as well.

When I started the process with Yoram, I felt more led than leading; I felt I had lost control of my path. The crossroads I found myself at confused me, and the tasks I was engaged in didn't align with the goals I was pursuing. Yoram helped me take responsibility for my role and my trajectory—he helped me redefine my North Star and reconnect with my internal compass.  

Yoram is an excellent coach with phenomenal listening skills and endless patience. He always knows how to say the right word at the right time. I entered the process with Yoram with very high expectations and was surprised to see how high the bar and standard he set could be.  

Yoram was able to bring out the best in me, and thanks to him, my career has taken off. I've advanced my personal professional skills and increased my areas of responsibility. I now have clear goals and more precise aspirations.

Yoram began coaching me during a very complex period, both professionally and personally. He helped me align myself with places that inject renewed energy, to stay active and grow during a time that could easily have brought me down, and ultimately to make decisions from a place of wholeness and confidence. Throughout this time, meeting with Yoram was a significant anchor in my week. Our conversations resonated in my mind and pushed me to step outside my comfort zone.  

I am working in a role that represents a professional step up in a field that greatly interests me. I feel confident in my abilities, while also allowing myself to make mistakes and continue learning from them with compassion.  

The meetings with Yoram help me view the bigger picture, gain additional perspective, and his advice propels me forward, helping me overcome the lack of experience that comes with rapid progress. Despite the immense workload, I make it a priority to meet with Yoram regularly, which speaks volumes in itself.

When I was at a low point in my professional life, I sought help and was fortunate to meet Yoram. I experienced difficulties adapting to the work environment of a massive international corporation, and for the first time in my life, I received negative feedback and performance ratings below expectations. I felt anger and frustration towards my direct manager, and my relationship with him soured.

Yoram helped me navigate the situation, and thanks to his positive approach, I was able to see things more objectively and pragmatically.

I met with Yoram for about four months. During this time, he shared his extensive experience in management within the high-tech field. I gained new and interesting perspectives that helped me understand the gaps between my performance and the expectations of me.

We worked together on improving my communication with my colleagues. I planned with Yoram the right and precise messages to convey to my work environment regarding my desires and intentions. In the end, opinions changed, and the feedback became positive.

The tangible results allowed me to transition to another role within the organization that better suited my needs and desires. I am very grateful to Yoram for his help and support throughout the process. I thoroughly enjoyed our meetings and, of course, our shared success.

Making a change... Moving on to the next big thing

Yoram accompanied me for a period of five months, during which we focused on my relationships with friends, partners, and significant others. Each meeting with Yoram provided me with new insights and allowed me to deeply examine how I handle various situations. Yoram helped me organize my thoughts, focus, and identify what is important to me, enabling me to express out loud what I am seeking and put myself at the center. Yoram equipped me with the tools to embark on a path of change, all delivered with kindness and endless dedication.

I was searching for the right place for me in the workplace, for the right integration into a group, a role, and the appropriate content area. Yoram was able to bring the relevant topics that I wanted to work on. We defined goals and a work plan together. Yoram helped me navigate my path through constructive, enriching, and in-depth discussions. He brought with him a wealth of experience and knowledge that he had accumulated over the years—deep and broad knowledge that I would not have had such direct and immediate access to without our connection.  

He allowed me to arrive at insights on my own. During our meetings, he demonstrated exceptional flexibility and was able to adapt the program according to changing situations and shifts in my life. By the end of the process, I felt that I was returning to my professional and personal world with additional tools that I had acquired with his help and insights regarding building my professional career. It was a meaningful process from which I gained a lot.

I returned to the field of software engineering after several years of enrichment studies, but my first work experience upon returning was not easy. It was a time filled with concerns about less-than-ideal market conditions, and I felt battered, with many doubts about my future in the field.  

I reached out to Yoram, and the connection between us was immediate. Yoram was always by my side with a critical and professional eye, ensuring that I established a routine and framework, allowing the period I found myself in to have meaning and substance. The time and space we created were crucial for the process that helped me cope with the difficulties. Yoram guided me through a process of becoming aware of my "inner demons"—guilt, shame, self-criticism, comparison, hesitation. Over time, their negative impact lessened, and I learned to listen to myself, take control, and take action.  

Yoram insisted that I "manage my unemployment with dignity." I created a task list and rewards for myself, and I tracked my progress. This approach helped me practice respect for myself and my time. Yoram communicated with me patiently, with empathy and great wisdom. He was a partner in the journey but didn’t take over and allowed me to lead. This experience serves as an important bridge for me, a model for interpersonal communication that I hope to find in the workplace as well.  

Today, I feel calm and possess a strong sense of control. I have learned to trust myself more, my inner voice, and my sense of responsibility and commitment to myself and the tasks I choose to take on. I find that in addition to refining the accuracy of the workplace I am in, I have also clarified my own desires and abilities. I have made an important discovery of myself and my professional identity.
