Coach Profile - Gerald Renger





Hi, I'm Gerald - your guide to learning and change - a German engineer by education and a passionate executive coach and performing artist. Living in Germany, Australia and now Shanghai has allowed me to work with people from all Europe, the US, from China, Japan, Australia, Korea, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and more. After my Mechanical Engineering studies, 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 culture change, leadership coaching, group dynamics, psychology and transactional analysis. I had the invaluable opportunity to directly learn from most advanced scholars 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 had the honor of helping many leaders and leadership teams of different cultures globally in companies like DAIMLER, HEIDELBERGER Druck, ATLAS, LUFTHANSA, HERAEUS, BMW, VW, EVONIK, PORSCHE, ASAM, DÜRR, HERAEUS, DEUTSCHE BAHN, Raiffeisen Bank, POLLS ROYCE and more. My 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.

    well done, structured and interesting, well presented and very good to listen to

participant voices on Blended Learning format for Leadership Development Programs


9 groups / 110 leaders @ Rolls Royce Power Systems Germany
  • more space in the workshop = added value
  • Self-organization in the group is an effort, but good and important, self-orga = sustainable learning
  • Self-study + small group breakouts good for learning and the group. Mix of self- and group control is optimal
  • Videos = added value, much clearer than slides, well-selected stories explain the topic better. 
  • revisiting inputs in the training good = more present, intensive learning
  • heard the input more often and in small doses, sticks better with me
  • important topics are always present (put your backpack down for now, it will come later…)
  • knowledge input beforehand is great, because that's not what I come to the seminar for
  • thinking process and exchange with peers begins before the workshop - you come prepared and reflected

Mark Crotty, CEO Australia/NZ at Wagner Australia and team

  • ‘skeptical at the start, and then got the most out of a short period of time’
  • ‘easy to understand videos and cloud content - books wouldn’t have worked’
  • ‘good balance between preparation, slides, less words, all well considered and balanced’
  • ‚cloud content ALWAYS available’ - learn ANYTIME ANYWHERE 24/7
