S. B., Director Customer Success
Going into Executive coaching for the first time, I had mixed emotions. I knew that having a connection with your coach would be the single determinant of whether the sessions would yield the desired results and behavioral shifts.
From the instance I met with Miki Feldman Simon, I felt more like I was meeting for a coffee with a long-time friend as well as a mentor who knew me and my potential. Miki disarms you from the onset and gives you the “safe space” to be honest with yourself and what challenges you have at growing a team. Miki shares tried and tested techniques that are easy to implement. She helps you gain the confidence to listen to your gut and tweak your communication style to demonstrate Executive Presence.
Miki’s coaching has given me instant results in how I manage myself, my team and manage up. From the onset of our coaching, sitting with Miki and both my managers in a room and honestly reviewing my 360, Miki helped us create an environment of “we were all in it” to polish my skills and help me grow and succeed. It eliminated any feeling of vulnerability on my part.
Biweekly check-ins with Miki involve honest dialogue where I am encouraged to introspect and Miki has a way of guiding me to guide myself while nudging me on course with her insights.
Erez Almog, VP Data Operations, Profitect
Miki has been Profitect’s Wendy Rhoades (Billions’ Executive Coach)! Miki has the unique ability to quickly understand the underlying issues in complex situations. Her honest and empathetic approach takes into consideration the impact on both the people involved and the organization.
She has helped me and the team improve our communication skills and work through one off specific situations and ongoing issues. Miki has provided us with simple and practical tools that we could share and apply over and over again.
It’s a pleasure to work with a smart, cooperative and helpful person such as Miki. Her work with the team and me has been invaluable.
Lindsay Lawrence, Design Director
Miki’s ability to both support and challenge my thinking, ultimately led me to be the person I wanted to be at both the workplace and home. Miki is empathetic, yet her straightforward manner allows every meeting to be an impactful one. My unorganized goals and dead ends solutions were quickly straightened out with Miki’s process, raising awareness to the problem, and setting manageable expectations to solve them. Her guidance on how to communicate more effectively and become more of leader, rather than a superior, has improved my role at work significantly. I would highly recommend Miki for anyone in need of guidance in their professional life.
Shahar Frumkin, Customer Success
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Miki for five years, from interviewing with her for a new role after graduate school to collaborating with her on the skills and approaches to professional development as I advanced my career.
Miki is truly skilled in helping individuals understand their strengths and how to apply them to short and long-term opportunities. Furthermore, she has an innate ability to ‘read the room’, understand the challenges at hand, and coach teams to work together in a supportive environment—and when the company is growing exponentially. At Profitect, Miki was the catalyst in enabling a small yet diverse start-up not only to adapt to change, but to embrace change as an opportunity to continuously improve upon our leadership skills and inclusivity. Her impact did not end within the confines of our office, rather it permeated through our dealings with clients and partners and strengthened the power and value proposition of a truly collaborative and diverse workforce in our ecosystem.
I cannot recommend Miki enough, and look forward to continued partnerships in the future.
Yonatan Olsha, VP EMEA and Alliances, Profitect
Miki is an exceptional executive coach. Miki has a unique combination of warmth, intelligence, and honesty, along with a deep understanding of the business challenges executives are facing today. Miki has the ability to quickly analyze the root cause of situations, and provide balanced and impartial perspectives along with useful tools.
Miki helps you enhance your productivity and self-management skills and supports you in keeping your own batteries charged for long-term sustainability.
Miki has the ability to cut through the “noise” and get to the bottom of whatever is holding you back — and then brainstorm ideas for achieving your goals or aspirations.
Miki has had an immense impact on me as a professional, with the skills I have learned also transferring to my personal life. I highly recommend working with Miki.
Y. L., Executive Vice President
I am an executive leader in a pharmaceutical company and Miki has been coaching me for the last year. During this time, I became aware of myself in the context of my organization. I learned to better assess my reactions to events around me. I learned to use my executive skills more wisely and work better with my peers and colleagues. I learned to listen to myself, prioritize what is important for me: values, goals, urgencies and perform better. I feel that my decision making abilities and execution have very much improved. Over the last year I learned to be a better observer, better listener, and feel much more confident with my decisions and my role as a leader and executive. All the above improvements are the results of fruitful conversations with Miki.
Miki is a pleasure to work with; she is trustful honest and gives you the comfortable feeling one needs to open oneself and discuss issues that are on your mind without a feeling that you are being judged. Miki understands situations well and her direct questions lead the conversation quickly towards focusing on the core of a problem, understanding the deficiencies, and helping you come up with key actions aiming to solve the issue. Miki is very dedicated, shows empathy and very supportive. Each session ends with a summary of the current meeting, action items and points to think about in preparation for upcoming meetings. Over time Miki reviews the shared process and evaluates the starting position relative to current position and progress made in the process. I can clearly see the contribution of Miki’s coaching to my improved performance, goal achievement, self-confidence, and peace of mind. I strongly recommend everyone to go through the coaching process with Miki because one can always find areas in need of improvement.

Yael Livermore Cornberg, Director of Analytics, Profitect
Miki has the ability of identifying the source of your deepest professional challenges, and in her empathetic yet to-the-point way, she is enabling you to address those obstacles (that you are putting in your own way..). To become a better leader, people manager, employee, a better individual.
Miki uses versatile techniques and practical tools based on the situation. After a while I found myself better equipped to mentor, coach and support my team and others seeking for my guidance, leveraging the skills I picked up.
With her uncompromising integrity and unique approach, she will be an asset to any professional looking to improve their executive skill set, as well as to every business looking to coach and guide their employees to drive business success and an amazing culture.
T.A., Executive Vice President, Customer Success
Miki has been working with a few members of our team in a 1:1 coaching format. She has helped them increase their business confidence and strengthen their management skills. We have seen a significant improvement in their ability to manage in a high performance workplace with diverse cultures, a growing team, conflicting priorities, and the ability to have more authentic conversations while improving interpersonal relationships. Most importantly, Miki’s coaching techniques have also positively impacted the whole team. In a team wide workshop she helped the team better see the value of both giving and receiving feedback and creating an open feedback environment. Miki is an engaging and inspiring presenter, who provides useful tools that can be easily implemented. I loved that feedback from the team post workshop was that these techniques also helped them in their personal life both as parents and partners.
I enjoy connecting and collaborating with Miki while performing 360 sessions, workshops, or learning/ resharing her insights and leadership experience.
Shmuel Freeman, VP Business Development at Rental Beast
I have now been working with Miki for almost a year and in looking back I realize now how much I would have benefited by finding Miki earlier in my career. Whilst Miki is insightful and really good at identifying areas of need and helping you overcome challenges, where Miki really excels is in helping you do the same for yourself and building those skills necessary to continuing to do that. That skill set leads to continued improvement.
Working with Miki has made me both a better professional, a better leader and overall better person.
The self awareness that Miki has helped me recognize as well as the importance of all the little things that we tend to ignore/gloss over has been nothing short of magnificent!
If you are trying to improve yourself as a person and professional then you owe it to yourself to reach out to Miki.
I look forward to continuing my partnership with Miki and continuing to grow.
