5. What my clients say
“Not only did Mr. Burkhardt deliver content of tremendous value,
he also managed to address each of the participants in our
seminar individually with a very accurate assessment of their
situation. His advice helped me to change my thinking
completely. His innovative and very creative way of approaching
familiar problems by suggesting specific solutions to each and
every participant individually makes him an extraordinarily
talented trainer and coach. His impressive academic expertise in
organizational psychology and his rare talent to translate this
expertise into applicable knowledge have made Mr. Burkhardt’s
workshop an experience with long lasting effects and have led to
sustainable change.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Christoph Burkhardt’s
consulting and training services and am looking very forward to
working with him again in the future.”
Fabio Olivotti
Head of Communication Strategy Design
BMW Group Design
“Christoph possesses the hallmark characteristics of the ideal
coach. He has an intuitive grasp of human relations and his
passion for creativity is admittedly contagious. I attended a 3-day
workshop on presentation techniques and Christoph easily
created an open atmosphere to stimulate discussions and as a
result of him enjoying what he does, I was most able to benefit
from the course!”
J. Angus
"I also attended one of Christoph's self-organization classes, and
I had fun. While his organization technique was helpful and
elaborate, it was his interest in me as a person that impressed
me the most. When I had an... let's call it emotional reaction to
one of the exercises, he sought me out afterwards to make sure I
was ok. That kind of commitment really baffled me."
