CLIENT STORIES

Testimonials

“I called in Tribe and their founder, Ipek, when I was needing help with creating deeper trust and stronger relationships in my team of highly professional R&D people. Ipek uses impactful techniques to ensure people go into deep dialogues with each other – saying things they would never dream of saying out loud, in a safe environment. It’s not only the unique techniques that make Ipek special, it is her innate talent for making deep, personal connections fast. She therefor makes a big impact straight away. The team spirit improved, lasted, and led to better results. I highly recommend Ipek and her team if you want to build stronger, more resilient teams or need impactful personal coaching for yourself or your talents.”

Thanks to her conflict resolution and deep democracy expertise and extensive experience; she is a trusted partner, whom we know will engage any group and deliver skill set of the training whatever the group dynamics are. Most shared feedback about her is her authenticity, positive energy, her strong and loving presence.”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Methodology is a nonliving theory whereas practice is the body with soul. I am interested in personal development since 2013 and attended in many workshops. The ones with Ipek such as CIYO, Shadow Work and Deep Democracy are the most effective ones. She dresses up the theory in such a passionate and energetic way that you feel like you work with something alive-of who turns out to be yourself all the time. My experiences with her were so powerful, I decided to cooperate with her at the farm where I’m married to my partner. So the leadership coaching evolved into relationship coaching which led my relationship with my husband/partner onto a whole new level and continued by team coaching with the workers of the farm. She changed our perspectives of conflict, relating with one another, and truly seeing each other with new eyes. ”

— Aysun The SutcuOwner, Gundonumu Farm

“Over the years we have worked with Ipek with different management levels on building better inclusion, and as a facilitator in our remote working teams for better team work. As I wanted to improve my facilitation skills while managing my team, I joined her deep democracy training. The simplicity of the process and the power delivered by just being able to voice my own voices has made a significant impact on how I communicate and manage any meeting. Aside from the content, Ipek’s soft but strong challenges and her ability to articulate openly what she heard reading between the lines showed people that she walks the talk and they have been able to experience the impacts of the tools. This is an invaluable method for people and teams…”
