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."
