Voices From the Seminar

“Leading Without Words” made me reflect on my leadership style. One key learning: how crucial clear communication is when it comes to delegating tasks.

My conclusion: a valuable seminar offering insight into a completely different world.

A special, inspiring, and truly impressive seminar. “Leading Without Words” deeply moved me and left a lasting impact.

This seminar takes you out of your comfort zone and shows how essential authenticity, clear communication, inner calm, and personal presence are in leadership.

An exceptional and truly unique management seminar and training: ‘Leading without Words.’ Its practical and playful approach makes the impact immediately tangible. I highly recommend this seminar to any (aspiring) leader or entrepreneurial personality looking for a joyful and insightful experience.

It became clear to me how incredibly important posture and voice are. There are so many parallels to leadership in a business context that you can take away from this experience.

Fabiana Oscari-Bergs, Managing Director, Gobar Deutschland GmbH

 

My expectations were surpassed. Beyond understanding the importance of posture and movement, it quickly became clear how eye contact and gestures can be used to convey clear messages – the essential tools of a conductor leading an orchestra.

A particular highlight was stepping into the role of a conductor myself and leading four professional musicians. In a pleasant and engaging atmosphere, I was able to discover numerous parallels to everyday leadership that have already enriched my work in a lasting way. Highly recommended!

Henning Schreiber, Managing Director, KreisAbfallVerwertungsGesellschaft mbH Minden-Lübbecke

“Managers can uniquely profit from this different form of leadership. They will develop a profound understanding of their own agency and motives. A new repertoire of conscious actions will result and expand infinitely.”
