“Since I started sessions with Shirli back in April, it’s felt like having a companion truly by my side, guiding me with such ease and fluidity. It’s not just about receiving advice; it’s about building a path together, step by step, and feeling supported and held by the hand every inch of the way.
Shirli has this amazing way of walking alongside you, not leading or showing you the path, but escorting you as you explore your own journey. For any woman seeking guidance in any area of life, I can’t recommend Shirli enough. She brings insight, warmth, and a genuine sense of partnership and energy that’s rare to find.”
“My mentoring journey with Shirli started on October 2022, out of a non-planned conversation in a restaurant, where she asked me: Do you want to meet and talk? And without any expectations I agreed. From then on, every Thursday—either in person in Barcelona or over Zoom—our meetings became my safe space. It was a place where I could speak freely, knowing I would never be judged, allowing me to focus on my personal growth.
Starting in October 2022, Shirli became a part of my life, supporting me through many challenges: injuries, important competitions, the end of my sports career, and even the loss of my grandfather. She always listened closely, then posed thoughtful questions that reflected her insight into my experiences. Often, not having immediate answers to her questions made me to look deeper within myself.
Looking back on this journey, I’m so thankful for all the support and guidance Shirli has given me. She’s been a steady source of strength, helping me through big life changes and personal challenges. I’ve grown so much—in my career and as a person—thanks to her kindness, patience, and belief in me. Thank you, Shirli, for everything.”
“Shirli is a fantastic mentor and coach for professional development. From the first moment she was highly motivated and committed to supporting me to achieve my goals. Her great toolset and positive energy were an enabler for me to shape my ideas and professional goals. She perfectly knew when she needed to challenge me to move out of my comfort zone no matter how complex the situation was. I am thankful for having get to known Shirli as person and professional and highly recommend her.”
“There are some people who, the moment they enter your life, shine a light, raise your energy, make you feel good and mirror. All of these occurred to me since the moment I met Shirli at Career Pass 🙂 In a period of 6 months, during the time she voluntarily mentored me as a mentor, I gained a great friend for life, in my career journey as well as my personal development. She helped me to recognize my shortcomings; or I better not say that ;), but showed me the aspects I need to improve. She made me look through other perspectives when was blocked, she emphasized the importance of active patience. Although I have difficulty in doing it from time to time, I am learning Shirli :)) I love this woman, who made me know myself better and made me feel more beautiful.”
