“On occasion we find ourselves at that critical juncture in life where a helping hand and a focused view are just what we need to jump up from a plateau and reach the next level. When I found myself at such a crossroads, I turned to Gloria. Gloria and I go back to Comverse, where she led the unit where I worked. From those times, I learned to see her as a competent and trustworthy mentor. When I found out that she was a personal life coach, the choice for me was clear. Challenging me, getting me to create value-based goals, rather than objectives for their own sake, and becoming my personal champion, Gloria's intelligence, empathy and credibility brought me far beyond where I had expected to go in my coaching sessions. Indeed, I signed up for a limited time, but found myself renewing. Personal life coaching with Gloria is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. I have more confidence than ever that I will achieve my goals and realize my dreams. I highly recommend her.” October 27, 2008 Top qualities: Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity

“Gloria Kinrot was introduced as someone to assist in formulating a plan for Leadership Development. What we soon discovered is that Gloria is a dynamic, future oriented thinker who has the ability to listen, organize the thoughts of many individuals and prepare appropriate professional material. Gloria‘s enthusiasm for our project energized our Committee ... to formulate an action plan which ... is now implementing within our Executive Committee and ... will be an integral part of our development of new leaders through our branches in Israel. Gloria was the spark that made it all come together – we greatly appreciate her talents.” October 26, 2008

- Phyllis Levinson, Chair of Hadassah-Israel Strategic Steering Committee

“Gloria Kinrot conducted … executive coaching sessions for the vice-presidents of Hadassah-Israel… The sessions were extremely well focused and the impact on the work of our organization has been felt… in the interaction between the vice-presidents and with their relationship with the chapters for which they are responsible. Ms. Kinrot has a delightful personality and her approach is both friendly and businesslike. I strongly recommend her.” April 5, 2009

- Norma Potashnick, President, Hadassah-Israel

“I had the pleasure of working with Gloria Kinrot, who provided executive team coaching for the regional Vice-Presidents of our organization over a period of 7 months. The coaching focused on their functions as mentors of the Chapters for which they are responsible plus their interaction with each other in order to strengthen the Chapters themselves and their connection to the National Office. Gloria was unstinting of her time and her patience. Her manner is extremely pleasing and the sessions were always on track but not pressured. She kept the focus on our organizational goals and each executive's development for step-wise advancement. We are already seeing the results of Gloria's work with the executive committee of Hadassah-Israel. I wholeheartedly recommend her, as do the regional Vice-Presidents, as well-qualified for any position within her area of expertise.” April 30 2009

- Itay Wein, Project technical manager, FIS

“I worked with Gloria at FIS Software between 2005 and 2007, when she performed as Director of Knowledge Management, Documentation and Training. Gloria is a resourceful, creative, and solution-oriented manager who was frequently able to come up with new and innovative approaches to her assigned projects, mainly customer training activities and the company's SharePoint-based knowledge center. Gloria made me responsible for one of the knowledge-center modules and exposed me to the world of knowledge management. With her patience and enthusiasm she was always there to teach and guide her colleagues and subordinates. Gloria possesses excellent communication skills, and I found her approach and dedication, along with her vast experience in the field a true asset to the Product division and the company as a whole. I would love to have the opportunity to work with Gloria again in the future.” April 15, 2008

Director of Knowledge Management, Training & Documentation

Instituting tools, processes & learning culture in a global hi-tech software company over 5 continents to promote business, satisfied employees & clients.

“I worked with with Gloria for more than 2 years. During this time she has built the Knowledge Management area in our company from scratch, and laid a solid foundation for teamwork using Microsoft Sharepoint. Gloria created a comprehensive and consistent set of generic documents that could be used internally and externally, and added a set of training material that was much needed. The introduction of Sharepoint as a central point for storing documents by all projects accessible globally in the company was not a simple task. Our projects now use Sharepoint for working together more efficiently, sharing information and providing a common starting point for all activities. Her work was key in achieving CMMi level 3 certification for our company. Gloria is energetic, dedicated and persistent, and has enough will power to attack seemingly impossible projects!” November 16, 2008

“Take a Vision and transfer it to Successes in the organization" this is Gloria's specialty. A sharp, Energetic, and very Smart lady, which I can only wish I will have the opportunity to work with her in the future.” November 16, 2007

- Coby Golowinski, Knowledge Manager, FIS Software

“Gloria joined FIS in June 2005 as Director of Knowledge Management, Documentation and Training, to establish a global knowledge management program, and to develop and manage FIS' product documentation and training. Since then, the company has made excellent progress towards its goal of knowledge management being part of the everyday work culture at FIS. The program has also been recognized externally by our CMMi auditors for the capabilities delivered through the FIS Organizational Process Asset Library and Project Team Sites, in support of our organizational processes, and by Microsoft as a leading Sharepoint (MOSS) KM implementation. In addition, as part of her role, Gloria has established a Sharepoint-based Learning Centre with training materials, and a corporate-level Documentation Suite. Gloria excels at taking a longer-term vision and gradually driving towards it via measured steps at the "coal face." She is a high-energy individual who drives her team and interacts with her stakeholders with very high motivation. Gloria demonstrates a high degree of resourcefulness and creativity in her work, and has achieved significant progress in the FIS Knowledge Management program with very limited resources and within a relatively short timeframe. I will be very pleased to work with her again in the future, if the opportunity arises.” November 18, 2007

- Dror Orbach, Chief Product Officer, FIS Software

“Gloria is quick, smart and intuitive with lots of energy. She was able to move the FIS knowledge management and documentation arm from 3 separate regional geographies to start working as one global entity. This required patience, focus and integrative work with the various cultures and management styles across the FIS organization. Gloria brought these entities together via bottom-up implementation planning within a short time frame together with the necessary IT infrastructure. I was impressed with Gloria's drive, enthusiasm and vast knowledge and enjoyed working with her. I highly recommend her to anyone requiring a person to direct a project through change or to help in initiation or interim projects.” November 16, 2007

- Moshe Shamir, VP Marketing, FIS Software

“During the last 2 years I have been working with Gloria at the same department. I found Gloria as a very motivated manager, very likeable and nice to work with on her subordinates, colleagues and superiors; willing to support tasks that are not always within her area of jurisdiction, open minded and willing to learn new things and implement them. During this time she has successfully implemented the MOSS and managed to leverage Knowledge Management within the company. The feedback within the company regarding her projects was very positive. Based on all of this I would warmly recommend Gloria.” November 15, 2007

“I worked with Gloria at Comverse in her position of System Engineer in R&D. Gloria demonstrated the ability to learn quickly and deal with complex, integrated topics with ease. Her analytical capabilities, creativity, technical acumen and process organization pioneered requirements management within the R&D department. Gloria is hands-on, illustrated by her diving into prototyping the requirements management system on her own. From the tool selection and process tailoring to requirements analysis and categorization to a working prototype/demo. It's exemplary of her determination to get into details along with developing the big picture view. Her energy motivated others and moved the initiatives forward to successful deployment within several R&D groups. I enjoyed working with Gloria and warmly recommend her.” June 19, 2008

“Gloria was the senior manager of our division at the Comverse Mobile Internet Division. She was very much up to the challenge of managing her portion of the business during a difficult period. Furthermore, Gloria charted the necessary course deftly, and even in the face of the difficult decisions that she never shied away from, her enthusiasm was infectious, and she constantly fostered inclusiveness and employee buy-in. Working for Gloria was an enriching and enjoyable experience.” February 24, 2007

“I worked with Gloria in two separate positions, as Proposal Center Manager at Comverse, and as Documentation Manager at FIS. The fact that I choose to work with Gloria twice is in itself the biggest recommendation I can give. At Comverse, the KM system for answering RFPs she designed was way ahead of its time and both cut the time required to write proposals, and increased the win ratio. The Knowledge Center she managed resulted in a significant Return on Investment for the company. At FIS, the company portal has been recognized by industry experts as one of the best - and it facilitated the creation of complex software documentation. Gloria as a manager sets goals based on a well-defined vision for the company, and is an excellent facilitator for her employees - she conducts the orchestra, while enabling each expert the leeway to play their own instrument according to their own virtuousity.” November 17, 2007
