Testimonials - What People Are Saying.

The Pillars supported us throughout periods of changing leaders and organizational restructuring with their thoughtful, human-centered approach.


Their transformation work made a huge impact in uniting our leaders, both new and established, to form a cohesive and high-performing team. 


This allowed us to serve the people we lead with a single vision/mission, bringing clarity to the entire team. 


I would highly recommend the Pillars to anyone or team wishing to build strong, focused and caring leaders.

We have implemented this program to create a succession pipeline for all our strategic positions within WALTER, with the objective of investing in our talent to develop the next generation of leaders and strengthen and empower our future leaders.


We decided to collaborate with The Pillars to design our WALTER Next program dedicated to the growth and development of our future leaders, by offering them tailor-made development sessions focused on key skills and targeted learning, including:

  • Priority management
  • Decision making and problem solving
  • Change management
  • Situational leadership
  • Building and leading a high-performing team
  • Effective communication and emotional intelligence
  • Feedback (giving and receiving)
  • Conflict resolution and team motivation


The partnership with The Pillars has far exceeded our expectations.


We have been able to implement a solid structure and a comprehensive development program for our future leaders. The Pillars have demonstrated great responsiveness, a creative approach, and recognized expertise in providing our employees with optimal development, aligned with both individual growth goals and our company's strategic objectives.


Since the program's launch in 2023, we've seen significant growth among participants. For this third cohort in 2025, out of the 28 participants, 11 have already been promoted or assumed greater responsibilities, successfully and with real added value for WALTER.


The Pillars' success is primarily based on their expertise in designing tailor-made development solutions aligned with the specific needs of organizations. They deliver highly engaging, high-quality sessions with a good balance of theory and practice, both in-person and remotely. The Pillars place great importance on thoroughly understanding the business's expected outcomes for each cohort and demonstrates a remarkable ability to adapt.


Absolutely recommended! Having experienced several programs with different providers throughout my career, I can honestly say that they offer by far the best training, with a real focus on achieving the desired results for the company, supported by highly qualified internal resources capable of delivering an optimal program.

My work with The Pillars began during COVID, at a time when our leadership team was under significant pressure to take a new cloud-centric technology to market.


This required quickly adopting a 24x7 operational support model — something entirely new to the organization — while managing the broader uncertainty of the pandemic.


Over the course of nearly a year, The Pillars became a true partner in helping us lead through that complexity with both clarity and compassion. Their people-first, deeply engaged approach created a safe space for open dialogue and personal growth. They helped us build trust within the team, shift leadership mindsets, and communicate more authentically — all while driving real structural change.


With their support, we were able to guide the organization through an intense period without losing momentum or connection. Our leadership team became more aligned, more confident, and better able to support both the people and the business.


Personally, working with The Pillars allowed me to show up more fully as a leader — to lead with

both strength and authenticity and ultimately lead to me moving into a new role where I could have an even greater impact.


One of the most important outcomes was that this work laid the foundation for long-term success. It didn’t just help us navigate immediate challenges — it helped us build a culture of continuous improvement, grounded in trust, accountability, and human connection.


I would strongly recommend The Pillars to technology companies in high-growth environments that are under pressure to deliver.


If you’re leading through complex change and want a partner who will help you align your leadership, unlock trust across your team, and create lasting cultural impact — The Pillars will help you do it with

clarity, courage, and care.
