Is it for me?
There is a saying that your company is only as good as its people. Which is why you as the team's leader need to constantly find time to improve not only your team but more importantly - yourself. If you are looking for the most effective way to do it, this is it.
Thomas addresses your needs, doesn't waste time on useless theory and gets you up and going. It teaches you to take full responsibility for the way you lead and communicate and how to do so most effectively. What's more, the small group size lets you zoom in on what is really important, learn by doing and get useful insights from other CEOs and their experience.
It might sound like this course is just another one of those cliche management trainings which "make you a better leader". But it's not. It fundamentally changes the way you look at what it means to communicate your message to your colleagues which is the fundamental key to more productive teams and better business results.

I rate Thomas very highly. He clearly knows what he is doing and his material, tools and techniques are not only potent, effective and clear but also original – and it would seem that most have been created from first principles – truly excellent. I liked his workshop and the aplomb with which he delivered it - in particular his ability to practice what he preaches.
Despite my many years of training in this area and extensive training and development in all major areas covered in his session (Teams, Communication, Feedback, Leadership, Message composition and Delivery) I still learned a great deal and much of this was through working at the depth that he did and of course the experiential nature of his work. I am certain that I have already integrated much of it into my existing frame of understanding.
As a final thought: WOW! I loved it, and it was a delight to be able to work through all the topics we covered in such an original, insightful, professional, compelling and beneficial way. Thomas does indeed rock.

The relevant point in each individual feedback...
Thomas is a true professional. In his trainings he is able to identify and combine urgent needs for productivity with management team performance improvement and effective individual leadership development. By “nailing” the relevant point in each individual feedback and by applying understandable practical training tools, every trainee is able to make tangible progress in a very short time.
He possesses a rare, unrelenting willingness to learn and master his craft of communication skill development in people.
In case you have loyal strategic key persons working for you, but they are stuck in their development or you are not satisfied with their input/performance – Thomas is the right person to meet!
He will also help you to identify and develop your own leadership skills in order to get the best out of your team.

My expectations were not high …
I attended the course in the fall of 2014. To be perfectly honest my expectations were not high before. I thought this will be another of those courses where you hear common sense being repeated over and over again.
I couldn‘t have been further away from the truth. This training is as much hands on practical training as it could get. Thomas motto seems to be that you will not learn anything if you don‘t get out of your comfort zone so this was the running theme of these days. Looking back it was fun and useful, but during the days it was really fatiguing to constantly push yourself.
The combination of a small group of highly experienced persons, a brilliant facilitator and a fascinating subject made this training by far the best I ever participated in.
