What clients are saying

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Richard and Stuti from Seydways Consulting. They played an instrumental role in supporting our Corporate and Sales Kick-Offs, as well as our annual Investor and Customer Events. For our Customer Event in particular, their contribution was critical — ensuring message alignment and flawless delivery across all plenary sessions. This included our own executive team (CEO, CRO, CPTO, CMO) as well as guest speakers from Microsoft and major banks such as Santander. They were involved in everything from content review and rehearsal scheduling to onsite delivery and logistics, always with an exceptional level of professionalism. Importantly, their support didn’t stop at the event. They followed up with video reviews and constructive debriefs for each speaker, setting us up for even stronger future performances. Their expertise, adaptability, and collaborative spirit are unmatched. I look forward to working with them again."

"Richard coached me for one of the most important presentations I have ever given, a live presentation to my sales team of 6,000 people. Without question the communication skills he shared with me contributed greatly to the success of the presentation. More than any other communication coach I have encountered, the skills were practical and easily understood. He also did one other key thing; he didn’t try to change who I was, but instead made me comfortable with who I was. I am continuing to work with Richard at VMware."

EVP, Worldwide Sales & Service

"Beyond the content of the training, perhaps the most valuable thing I got out of this experience was the way in which feedback was delivered to us by Seydways coaches. Their style was honest, constructive, and thoughtful, often helping us see the positives in our challenges. I was extremely impressed by this approach and will emulate it in providing feedback to my team."

"I've already used the content prepared during the workshop to facilitate a difficult conversation. Appeared to be received well, meeting achieved objectives and members aligned to direction. Really a helpful training, one of the best I have participated in, where relevant feedback and coaching were provided in real time with opportunity to incorporate. Richard and Stuti's experience and expertise in this space + their working knowledge of Amgen culture was impactful."

Alisa Bechthold
Global Medical Transformation Lead
AMGEN
"I really appreciate that time was allocated for 1:1 coaching of each individual. I was not expecting this at all. Sharing the coaching experience with my peers was an opportunity to be vulnerable together, build trust, and feel comfortable being our authentic selves. It was also very valuable to see and hear the feedback given to others that I can apply to myself. Setting up for the right energy and mindset as well as acknowledging limiting beliefs was extremely helpful."
