  • Thanks Gerald. Really fun and good opportunity to learn about different cultures
    well done, structured and interesting, well presented and very good to listen to
    the introduction exercise - the multi-layered cultural personality is really a very good exercise
  • there are no right or wrong cultures, just different.
  • listening without telling: My BIG take away
    silence and its many meanings in Asia!
  • the course is really useful. Often, I don’t take out enough time to observe and listen but instead just doing things my own way
  • I liked the communication model new and different way of looking at communication and personality

  • Mark: 'Very practical yet evidence based. Highly recommended for leaders. Applicable at any crisis setting.'
  • Cathy CALI, Business Development Manager: ’Hello Gerald, a BIG thank you! It was a real pleasure for me to participate in this training. You lead this training in a very pleasant and constructive way. Indeed, these sessions allow me to reflect, to rethink situations, to evaluate myself and thanks to the discussions, to approach things in the future perhaps from another angle.’ 
  • Maria: 'This one struck me the most: crisis leadership and communication requires knowing myself well, my crisis behavior, and develop my personal skills to make conscious choices. Indeed, you can not give what you do not have, and you can only function as much as your level of self-awareness and crises preparedness...'
  • Klien: 'I loved how concise and on point the lectures were and the workshops were simple yet it allows you to be aware of yourself, your stresses and drivers. In my experience as a disaster manager, the suggestions on how to deal with these stresses were practical and doable.'
  • Michael: 'As a team leader, this module helped me a lot in terms of leadership and how to become effective in crisis management.'
  • Edwin: 'Excellent course, very practical and applicable in daily life.'
  • Clint: 'This is a very comprehensive and concise session on crisis leadership and management. It encourages us to be aware of ourselves especially our weaknesses and strengths in order to better handle crisis, communicate effectively and decide properly even under pressure.'





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
