Sally Silberman is an excellent instructor.
She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
The teacher was the best one that I had at
NYU. She is really special.
This class was the most helpful class that
I have taken in NYU’s Continuing Education program.
Ms. Silberman is a perfect instructor!
I was very satisfied with both the course
and the instructor. Actually, it was the instructor who made
the course more effective and enjoyable with her background,
humor and experience.
Sally is a wonderful instructor. I would
let others know she cares about our individual development
rather than just lecturing.
I feel Sally is a wonderful and thoughtful
instructor. She helped me so much in terms of understanding
this complex topic.
The instructor was stimulating in humor and
knowledge. I would take the class again for enjoyment purposes.
The instructor is very qualified to teach
the class and teaches with inspiration. I would recommend
any class with this instructor.
Sally was quite knowledgeable and knew her
industry well. Very motivating and an excellent coach!
I found Sally to be a very professional and
enthusiastic educator. She made a very boring subject very
interesting. It made me more conscious to approach life in
a whole new way, both personally and professionally.
Many times you have instructors who just
read off of a piece of paper. I found Sally comfortable, inviting
and knowledgeable. She brings real life experiences to the
class which made it easier to relate to.
Over the last three years I have had the great
fortune to team up with Sally to supercharge some of my most
talented associates and take them to new levels of self sufficiency.
Her coaching techniques coupled with
the non-threatening nature of the confidential personal coaching
experience has resulted in new levels of performance from my
best team members. The proof…they left as good associates…and
returned thinking and acting like managers and owners. Thanks
Sally!

In the spring of 2003 I was laid off from
my job and immediately thought to contact Sally. When I first
spoke with her I had little understanding of how to negotiate
my severance package. I was timid and confused about how to
proceed. She helped me to separate out immediate and long-term
concerns and enabled me to focus upon the items of greatest
urgency...Sally’s advice worked!...Thanks
to Sally, I never missed a day of work and within a month of
our work together I started a new job at a higher salary!
...She helped me to develop the skills and
confidence I needed to move on to a new position. In addition
to our conversations she recommended books and web sites and
sent documents relevant to my needs... As a result of our work
together, I became noticeably more confident about my career
choices and options. I began to see the workplace as a realm
that was under my control.
...she was genuinely concerned with
me as a person. She carefully listened to my concerns and always
addressed them. Sally changed my perception of myself as an
employee. She taught me to work for Alison Inc. and
to consider my personal as well as professional needs in every
work situation... Sally is a coach, a mentor, a teacher and
a friend.

Dear Sally:
I returned from my business trip last night.
It was a huge success, and I want to take this opportunity to
thank you for all the many ways your coaching and classroom
instruction have facilitated powerful and amazing advances in
my professional development. Everything you taught me seemed
to come together during the trip – the interpersonal and
management skills, the ways of working with high level executives,
the models for strategizing and executing action plans, and
more. It was very exciting, and I am still charged up about
the experience.
Sally, you are the best teacher I ever had.
You have a rare and magnificent gift. You understand very sophisticated
material, but are able to make it very real and completely accessible.
I always feel that I have your complete and undivided attention.
Your insights and ability to understand what is needed in the
moment is uncanny. You are creative, energetic, charming, and
very funny. You cause me to stretch and work, but you make the
experience of professional growth and empowerment very exciting.
And, what is perhaps most wonderful of all is your 100%-plus
commitment to my process. I have never encountered a teacher
so completely devoted to my betterment, who I feel is my champion
and advocate all the way, and will never cease trying to find
new and better ways to help me achieve my goals, and empower
me so that I can become my own champion...
S.B., NY
