David Ivan

COO, AME Region at Vestas
Sal has made an enormous impact on my leadership and our organization more broadly. He has a unique ability to listen, distill and guide in a way that is rooted in your personal and business specific context but also grounded in research and best practice. He is kind and caring, but also unafraid to speak uncomfortable truths back to you, as any coach should. Working with him - and putting in the work to his process -- has been one of the best decisions I've made. I couldn't recommend him more highly to a fellow executive or leadership team.
Ben Hubbard, CEO & Co-founder at Parsyl Technology company | Tech team

Ben Hubbard

CEO & Co-founder at Parsyl
We hired Sal Silvester for help with some team dynamics, using DiSC and other tools. We were originally planning to be in-person, but had to move to online due to the pandemic. Sal was a masterful facilitator -- he was prepared, thoughtful and an expert on using the technology. Some of my colleagues were a little skeptical, but Sal facilitated some excellent breakouts where we had transparent and vulnerable discussions, leading to greater understanding and more effective teamwork. We are planning to hire him for more engagements. I have worked with and listened to many facilitators over the years, but Sal is definitely one of the best -- he has my highest recommendation!

Julian Hsu

Chair Of The Board Of Directors at Colorado Permanente Medical Group (CPMG)
We started working with Sal and his really great team team because we wanted to elevate our leadership effectiveness, operate at a higher level as an executive team and build our leadership bench to drive better business results. We tried a few different approaches prior to working with Sal and his team, and they didn't work as well. Sal's team listened to our needs and customized an engagement that worked for us, and that we have used in many ways now, re-engaging him and his team half a dozen times or so. Sal and his team are experts in helping build aligned, agile and healthy executive teams and confident leaders at every level in an organization. They have been coaching and training for 20+ years and are thought leaders in the leadership development space. But most of all, Sal and his team have a huge heart and love helping people. They are the real deal.
Michael McNair

Sal is a genuine, authentic and one-of-a-kind partner as he makes a consistent effort to continuously strengthen his relationship with our team. Through his commitment and thoroughness, Sal customizes content that fits within the objectives of our leadership programs and incessantly delivers at a high-level year-after-year. His ability to create meaningful and successful workshops in collaboration with his clients is instrumental to meet the needs of the business and align with our culture. We have had the privilege to work with Sal for 4+ years so for anyone who is considering a future engagement with Sal, we highly recommend him and his team!

I have told so many stories about the work that my leadership team and I have done with Sal in the past. We all connected so well with his style and approach. Our work with Sal was incredibly useful, and we have treasured our experience together. It was the one leadership development experience for me that has truly stuck and one that I continue to use day to day regardless of role or setting.

I recently completed a 12-month executive coaching engagement with Sal and 5.12 Solutions. I benefited from Sal’s program in ways that far transcend my career and workplace. On a practical basis, I came away from the program with multiple day-to-day tactics for improving various management disciplines – in areas including time management, choice management and team development. Sal strikes a very effective combination of listening to his clients, customizing action plans around specific circumstances, and then establishing measurable accountability tools over the longer term. I would highly recommend Sal and 5.12 Solutions as an executive coach and leadership consultant – in any industry and regardless of one’s specific role.
Peter W. Albro

Peter W. Albro

Chief Operating Officer at Broe Real Estate Group
We worked with Sal recently on a project to help us build team alignment and to better understand our different communication styles. I think all of us were skeptical at the outset. But Sal has such a personable way of allowing people to buy-in at their speed, and to gently guide the conversations and sessions. When we'd get off track, he'd pull us back to where we needed to be, without being 'bossy', etc. At the end of the engagement, I can wholeheartedly say that our team is stronger and has much more self awareness and empathy towards each other. I would hire Sal and 5.12 Solutions again in a heartbeat!
Tony George

Former Managing Partner, Vermilion
Sal is a seasoned coach and excellent listener who routinely provides well researched and actionable advice. As a recipient of Sal's coaching, I've seen first hand how our work together has improved and expanded my leadership capabilities. Additionally, Sal has delivered training to several dozen employees at our company and I've enjoyed watching these teammates accelerate their leadership capabilities. I highly recommend Sal to any executives and/or management teams seeking to improve their leadership capabilities and deliver tangible business results.

We recently engaged 5.12 Solutions to work with our Senior Leadership Team and Extended Leadership Team. This was one of the best investments we’ve made for the company. We not only developed the skills to engage in more productive dialogue, but we now have 40 - 50 of our top leaders in the organization more aligned than ever.
