Dear Suzi,

our fellowship still resonates in my heart ... Really, I rarely meet such warm, open, heartfelt, pleasant people, with such good energy, with such joy and beautiful smiles !!! I am very grateful for your invitation !!!

I’ve been thinking about the work of secretaries - sometimes you’d probably like to scream from all the pressure you’re experiencing from everywhere. You have to be a mediator, sometimes a little mother, but of course infinitely professional, accurate, correct, you have to read the minds of your superiors and

understand subordinates, you probably even follow when the moon is full, because it can be a particularly hard day :) But this is a beautiful job - diverse, requires a lot of flexibility, kindness, wide insight and also personal maturity. You really are unique, everything from the first to the last !!!

I believe that you are the best, strawberry selection of secretaries, you came to the meeting and I think I was able to be with you !!!

Winter school holiday of the Waldorf School Maribor, 17 February 2017 in the Union Hall

So much top connection, red thread through the connecting text itself, from the beginning of the address, through the professional but at the same time playful and naughty moderator Suzi Asfour to the singing end of the event.

Waldorf School Maribor, Maksimiljan Rimele, director of the institute and director

After two years of cooperation, I can say that this decision has had a great impact on the development of the entire institution, which is still ongoing. At the school, we want genuine relationships between employees, children and parents based on mutual respect and understanding, followed by internal, not hierarchical organization. This way of working has many advantages, as well as pitfalls that can often be avoided with a great deal of professionalism. And that is exactly what Mrs. Suzi Asfour brought us with her arrival. As the director of the institute and the principal, I felt a lot of support in communicating with the environment, preparing data for decision making, organizing meetings, planning obligations, finding possible solutions to very different situations, which can not be briefly listed in school life. After two years of working in an office that is the second heart of the school, Ms. Asfour has managed to create an environment that works professionally, yet warmly and homely. The latter is best seen with the arrival of children, who find a warm person in Suza, who listens to them and helps them, and in this way puts himself in the role of pedagogical activity. Parents and employees also find more and more security and trust in her systematic work.  personal integrity and thus influences the positive development of the community, which the Waldorf school undoubtedly is and must be. Teachers firmly believe that children can be taught the most by example, but we are too little aware that it is similar in the adult world. Striving to be part of the solution and not problem seekers is something that needs to be nurtured as an endless mantra from day to day. Suzi Asfour can do it and it helps to grow and grow us all…

Versatile lecturer Suzi Asfour presented organizational personality types excellently and comprehensively. Participants were able to identify their own characteristics and build their own better organizational work plan in the office. We have extracted from the lecture what needs to be taken into account in order to achieve a higher level of efficiency, such as self-organization, work plan and correctly set priorities. All this is the basis for efficient and quality work, which brings greater satisfaction at work, and at the same time more free time.

Ms. Suzi Asfour has worked with me in recent years as an external collaborator in several areas and has helped me carry out many projects, be it introducing a new product or service, gaining new customers or communicating with existing and potential partners. I have to praise Suzi above all  in relation to her work, as she is diligent and dedicated. He prepares thoroughly for the tasks and does his best to complete them perfectly. Of course, you’ll quickly notice that she’s great at communicating and that she has a warm personal relationship, which people appreciate, whether it’s communicating things that people like or things that are just as necessary, but we don’t always to your liking. In both cases, Suzi turns out.
