Participant voices

'Thanks Gerald, I really liked the training, as the content was provided in a very professional manner. Essential tools for leaders and their meaning comprised and easy to digest. In combination with self-learning, peer coaching and your support a very valuable approach I can clearly recommend to leaders and future leaders!', Frederic Buehler, Germany


'The format, the group sessions, the time blocks for learning are really good, no overload in a short amount of time. I was skeptical at the start, and then got the most out of a short period of time. There are easy to understand videos and cloud content - books wouldn’t have worked. The course offers good balance between preparation, workshops, slides, less words, all well considered. When I knew you were going to hold the training it was an easy decision knowing your Australia background and understanding of our culture.’ Mark Crotty and team, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Australia


‘The program for me was the perfect start for a) understanding how I could be a more effective, empathic leader, and b) starting my own future journey of being a coach / trainer to others. Gerald is an incredibly inspiring human being who combines patience, experience, professionalism, honesty and humility that I have rarely seen in people with his credentials. I recommend the course to anyone looking for self-development opportunities towards being a better leader, or simply, being a better human being.’, Nitin Dani, India, working in Shanghai


'I’ve had the chance to attend the IDP course last year. And the experience has been extremely formative and interesting. Gerald combines years of experience in leadership coaching, vision of the future (what futures leaders will need to succeed) and deep knowledge of the character behavior. This allows him to grasp every nuance of the attendants, shaping the better suggestions for everyone. Moreover, the diversity of topics, the way the course is structured, the participation of colleagues with different experiences, makes it very attractive. Last but not least, Gerald is a very nice person, with many sides that are a pleasure to discover little by little. Highly recommended.' - Vittorio Blasi, Italy, 



Hi, my name is Gerald,

I’m a German engineer by education, a passionate change leadership coach and performing artist. Living in Germany, Australia and now Shanghai has allowed me to work with leaders from Europe, the US, China, Japan, Australia, Korea, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and more. After my Engineering PhD in Chemnitz I started working for Daimler in Stuttgart in 1991 and soon became member in Dieter Zetsche’s change management team. That’s when I began to study change, leadership coaching, group dynamics, and psychology. I had the invaluable opportunity to directly learn from most advanced scolars like Edgar H. Schein, David Kantor, Larry Hirschhorn, Wolfgang Looss, Hans Jellouschek, Claus Otto Scharmer, Matthias Varga von Kibed, Richard Timel and more. In 1999 I co-founded deloop management consulting in Stuttgart and in 2015 deloop management consulting Asia. I was fortunate enough to coach many leaders and leadership teams of different cultures globally in companies like:

Daimler, Heidelberger Druck, Atlas, Infineon, Lufthansa, Heraeus, BMW, VW, Evonic, Porsche, ASAM, Dürr, Deutsche Bahn, Raiffeisen, Rolls Royce and more. Executive Programs include: Hernstein General Management Program (HGMP) in Vienna, Corporate Entrepreneurship in China (CEIC) with innova in Shanghai, and projects in APAC with OSB international.
