PARTICIPANTS' STATEMENTS

"I have taken part in various seminars during the past few years. This qualification programme taught me to see many things from a very different perspective. A few weeks after the third module I now notice that I react completely differently when colleagues, employees and customers approach me with specific questions or problems. It is easy for me to adopt an attitude of ongoing self-reflection or to "climb into the helicopter" to view processes and problems from different angles. The seminar wasn't only fun, it was also very intensive. It had a very positive influence on my personality too. Congratulations to the two trainers, Steffen Neiß and Klaus-Peter Esser. You can tell that they enjoy their seminars. They organised the nine days with a lot of commitment, enthusiasm and sensitivity. Many thanks."

Coaching

"For me 2007 was marked by the five-day process with my coach Steffen Neiß. It was an important enrichment in my professional and notably also in my personal development. I learnt to:

• Analyse my current professional situation self-critically

• Understand patterns of my own behaviour and that of other people

• Learn from methods and techniques in order to be able to better master difficult situations in future

• Reserve space for my feelings, both private and business, and to (re)discover this as an important control instrument

• Jump over my own shadow and open myself up to integrate open issues from my personal history

• Find the strength to take concrete steps with clear targets and to determine and shape my own future

Steffen Neiß attended to me in his supporting, demanding manner. I felt that I was in very good hands: in addition to his methodical brilliance he always showed great sensitivity and always reflected with me on having a view for the greater picture. Whenever I thought I had reached my limits, he opened up new angles for me. I am grateful and very glad that he helped me to repeatedly overcome my misgivings. I was thus able to grow. Thank you!"

"The team developed very well. The scheduled integration of the new employee functioned perfectly - or even more than perfectly. We were also able to formulate many other important themes and the team members also generally got closer to one another. I was very impressed by how Mr Neiß facilitated: methodically adept and with great ease and absolute poise. I trust him completely."

Fundamentals of the systematic development of an organisation

"In order to establish know-how in the areas of change management, organisational development and coaching for our internal HR team, we engaged the trainer team of Steffen Neiß, Armin Priester, Klaus-Peter Esser and Johannes von Stosch. In addition to the graphic teaching of the technical tool box, the seminar was mainly about a lot of space and the possibility of practising the everyday use of the newly learned methods and techniques and to gain a lot of personal experience. In a modular set of seminars over a period of six months, essential theory was imparted to us very clearly in "easily digestible" doses. We also regularly received very comprehensive documents which were most useful for reference purposes or for reading on ahead. However, what was more decisive for the huge success of the training course was the very open, trustworthy, intensive cooperation with the trainers who supported us. In numerous exercise blocks, in personal talks and group talks and through their own role model position, they made it possible for us to find out, by first-hand experience in the true sense of the word, a lot about the professional and in particular also the human qualities required of internal consultants, their role and their "internal attitude". We were thus able to learn a lot about ourselves as individuals throughout the entire set of seminars, about or own personal strengths and weaknesses, and we were also able to jointly and constructively identify and address the strengths and weaknesses of our team.

To sum up: Using ourselves as an example, we underwent (and sometimes suffered) a change process and were really able to take away a great deal for our new task. When the training programme came to a close, each of us did some soul-searching, took a self-critical look at their own "consultant's profile" and drew their own personal conclusions from what they had learnt. We are aware that, as internal consultants, we still need to learn a great deal through practical personal experience and that we will still need some time before we are really "ready". The qualification programme gave us a basis here and encouraged us to face this challenge. "
