Comments from NYU students on Sally's Management Course

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.

Workplace Coaching Affimations

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
