“I have participated in the Leader as Coach programme, facilitated by Maik, both as trainee and supporting the training. I've been immensely enriched both times. Empowering leaders to be better coaches has had good effects across eBay.”
“Together with Maik we hosted an excellent leadership workshop on coaching. Maik did a tremendous job in conveying the proper mindset as well as tools/techniques - I can fully recommend working with him!”
“The training was perfectly tailored to the target group of managers and conveyed the main features of coaching. The exercises were practice-oriented and alternated appropriately with the theoretical part. The trainer was very professional.”
