Gurnam Selvarajah, Co-founder | Women Entrepreneurs
Sofie and I met via a mutual colleague. Her knowledge and expertise in Digital Media was evident from my first meeting with Sofie. We went on to deliver a joint event for Women Entrepreneurs titled :Boost Your Online Profile. Since then Sofie has given me an insight into social media but more importantly the confident message to try and try again until I find my online voice. I would recommend Sofie to anyone looking for a personal Digital Media/Social Media Coach. Gurnam from Women Entrepreneurs (www.we-uk.com).

Rene Mance, Computer professional | Creativity in Business
Sofie is a superb communicator and motivator. She is an inspiring business leader who is a committed and passionate individual who genuinely cares about the success of what she is involved in and the people she is working with. She always goes the extra mile and gets people enthused and engaged in what she is doing. It was very effective in reinforcing the importance of creativity in business and clearly illustrated how vital creative thinking and innovation really is in producing results for long-term business success. For many of my own projects, I will be trying out this team approach of working with people who complement each other; voicing and sharing ideas, which will hopefully lead to those brilliant ideas which can be implemented!
Dr Dale Huey , AFBPsS, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, NHS | NHS
Sofie provided a Creativity Workshop, for 40 staff from our psychological therapy service, which was full of experiential learning and presented with warmth, curiosity and optimism. The content was based on sound psychological principles. We were shown how sometimes default thinking patterns and response styles can limit, rather than facilitate, creative thinking. As well as increasing our insight into the content and consequences of our thinking styles, we all stepped (not too far!) out of our comfort zones and had fun together as a team.

Digital Leadership
Today I would like to speak to you about digital leadership and creativity in business And for me digital leadership means that you know how to handle the new digital opportunities and that you learn how to listen to new ideas and suggestions. Many of us are active in social media and we use digital tools every day. This means that you and I will have loads of ideas how we can use digital tools and solutions in education. Many people will put forward new ideas and the idea is killed...
