What others say about me

I don’t fully identify with labels like coach, trainer, mentor, or consultant.
I prefer the word companion (German: Begleiter) — because for me it holds all of these roles including leadership, and more.

  • I experienced you as someone who truly wants to understand the other person and has the ability to set aside your own ego completely. You are one of the best coaches I’ve had the privilege to meet.

  • I was deeply moved by the openness and authenticity with which you spoke, and by the presence with which you listened and mirrored me.
