“There was an excellent balance between theory and practical tasks that enabled me to integrate the concepts. I have become more in-tune with my heart/right brain and I am definitely more aware of my thought, actions and feelings. You’ve re-ignited the child in me.” - Mitan, Director, South Africa

"Ilana is a masterful facilitator, trainer and speaker. I have never seen anything quite like it. Ilana's skilful enquiry, her ability to hold space, go deep, challenge and also be playful and the way in which she presented leadership and purpose changed my life 360 degrees. Hands down my favourite, most powerful, most life changing course that I have done." - Katie, Facilitator and Coach, Spain

“She’s the person with the biggest influence on my life until now, my biggest inspiration without any doubt.” - Ana Patricia, Portugal

“Ilana ran the course immaculately, instantly gaining the respect and attention of a group of mentors which included people from senior roles in the corporate world. During the short course (1 week) she established herself as an authority on the subject matter, as a voice of reason, and of well balanced, insightful and empowering challenge. She dealt with our, in some cases, challenging and disengaged group with professionalism and measure, invaluable skills well beyond those you would expect of someone of her age.” - Chris, Director, The Netherlands

“This experience changed the way I think about myself and the world around me for the better. The impact is, excuse the cliché, life-changing.” - Andrew, Entrepreneur, SA

“Ilana Wetzler is unique in the field of leadership development. Her playful manner and shy smile belie her ability to captivate her audience completely creating a space where trust is absolute and strong and rewarding bonds are forged. Using a variety of deceptively simple games and discussions participants explore how to grow as a leader, inspire their team and drive their businesses forward. I have no idea how Ilana does it but it works – every time.” - Evelyn McDonald, CEO ScotEdge - Scotland

“Watching Ilana was watching a master artist at work. She is absolutely in her power as a facilitator, bringing a whole being into the space. It was an absolute privilege to witness and experience her at work.  I have experienced “flow” in the most beautiful and amazing way – where I am completely me and completely connected.” - Karen Goldberg, Reos Partners - Cape Town

“I am bedazzled by her approach. She is able to engage with all of us, reaching into the depth of our core.” - Khanita Kahn, Tsiba University - Cape Town

“I was reminded how amazing people truly are. What stood out was when I started hearing people’s sounds. My own included. The delicate balance when something shifts and someone really starts speaking from their heart… and it’s palpable.” Sahar Azarabadi, New Ventures West - San Francisco

“Ilana has a very rare ability to bring people together in a way that they open up and share the most important and honest parts of themselves. When Ilana works her magic with entrepreneurs focused on the problems they can solve then the outcomes are colossal and hard to measure. Ilana has an all-star line-up of business people around the world who will point to the impact she has made on their lives and their businesses but the most impressive results of her work won’t be seen for years as the Ilana effect continues to ripple round the world.”- Neil McInnes, CEO Umega Lettings - Scotland

“My favourite facilitator in the whole world” Mark Clayton Hand, Impact Investor - Austin

“I worked with Ilana in my role as dance4life mentor programme coordinator during the inaugural training week of August 2010. Ilana was the course director for the mentor training programme.

“Ilana is a magician. You know when you’re in a crowd of people and you witness something absolutely amazing that nobody else sees – like a unicorn – but nobody else saw it so they don’t believe you? Well, that’s how I feel that the world is going to feel like after my experience. Thanks for letting me see a unicorn.” Isabel Malone, IkamvaYouth - South Africa

“It has reconfirmed and strengthened my belief in humanity. I feel more like a human being now than I did before, and it might sound odd but I feel more connected to the world, to myself and mankind as a collective.” Christopher Pruijsen, Serial Entrepreneur - San Francisco

“Ilana’s expertise is so deep that it appears effortless, magical. She can bring a group of people together - strangers, colleagues, competitors - and through her facilitation the will leave having connected at a deep human level. She enables a group to find insights that allow them to truly understand their work, their purpose, their strategy, not just at an individual or organisational level, but also how it fits in a broader system, how it fits in the world." - Pip Wheaton, Climate Specialist - NZ

“It is only with the absence of Ilana do you realise the impact of her presence. Just as a professional musician makes their instrument look so easy – so it is that you only realise how difficult it is and how good they are when you try it for yourself.” Alex Scott Tonge, Co-founder POY - Scotland

“Ilana will be an asset to any group or organisation which she becomes part of.” - Eddie Daniels, Political Activist - South Africa
