Meeting Lené was like having fresh air blowing into my business, but also to my spirit. I was stuck in an mental low tide and struggling with my online presence and website. I was very happy and lucky to get a major boost to my confidence to keep going on and also to have my website refreshed! Lené has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom on all aspects of entrepreneurship and working with her was fun and easy. I can warmly recommend her. February 2021

Lené is exceptionally creative and very well versed in her craft. This really came through in her coaching. She really pushed me to think outside the box and by the end of the session, I felt as though I had been introduced to a whole new world. I left her, not only feeling positive and inspired, but overloaded with ideas waiting to be added onto a canvas. I am really looking forward to utilising what I've learnt to start creating new pieces of art. This coaching is exactly what I needed to help me get back to my art journey and I would highly recommend others to try one! February 2021

Lené Pieters is one of my beta readers. She has been a wonderful asset to my writing career. As well as reading my unpublished work and commenting on its entertainment value, she also checks the spelling and grammar. She does not hesitate to suggest things that might improve my work. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services. January 2021

Lené is not only a wonderful artist, she’s a careful and thorough editor. I’ve hired her for quite a few literary and cinematic projects of mine and she’s been brilliant! So professional and helpful. She’s that fresh set of eyes that you need to see your project before it gets out there. Also, her art is featured in my children’s book series, The Magic Carpet Series, and I‘m blown away at the attention to detail and the glowing beauty of each illustration. Amazing work! January 2021

Lené Pieters coached some of our staff to converse more confidently in English. She presented the workshop in a dynamic manner, adding many practical examples from unique situations that can arise out of the melting-pot of the Dubai tourist industry.
Staff and management feedback reported that staff members' communication skills had improved beyond their expectations. Lené is very professional, highly knowledgeable and diligent in her work and we would be happy to recommend her workshops. May 2015

Lené was my PA from the time I joined the DFSA. I found her to be a very efficient and organised person, whose work was of high quality. In addition to her PA role, Lené fulfilled other responsibilities including Librarian and acting as secretary to various internal committees of the DFSA. May 2007

I have been privileged to work with Mrs Lené Pieters for a number of years. She is, without question, one of the finest legal secretaries I have come across in more than 30 years of practice. She has a better than average command of English, seldom (if at all) makes a mistake and she produces work of the highest quality. November 2000

Lené is always meticulous in her work and delivers documents of a very high calibre. She types fast, accurately and never requires assistance with layout, grammar or spelling. She has typed numerous documents for me, many of which were sensitive Government issues. She is very professional about maintaining confidentiality and handles high profile litigation with ease.

Lené is a very effective and diligent person and very able in her communication skills. She has a very positive attitude towards her work and is always willing to make a positive input in whatever is required. Lené is always willing to get the job done and does not hesitate to work long hours in order to achieve the results.
