Erika Graf (EADS Military Defense)

Head of HR, Manching Plant

"With Five Steps, I have learned to discover totally new possibilities for my life and my actions. I have a much better understanding of myself and my own potential and I can benefit from it actively. Through this, I have gained more self-confidence and have more fun in working together with others. This is a new, valuable dimension of satisfaction and happiness.“

Sonja Klopcic (Trimo d.d.)

Competence Development Manager Trimo d.d.

„After Trimo got the EFQM Award for Business Excellence in 2007, we started a new, even broader process of leadership development. We chose the Five Steps Team as partners in this process because of their unique method and good references. We made the right decision. Five Steps coaches are devoted to our common goal – the development of powerful leaders in the Trimo Group. We appreciate the possibility for each person to find his or her unique path on the way to reach the highest leadership level, to find the treasure in us, develop it further and give to ourselves and to our colleagues the best. By challenging ourselves, we make new experiences, knowledge and connections. We are exploring the richness of diversity and are aware of the deep importance of our values; invisible but strong network that connects us.“

Sabine Keuschen (Airbus)

Astrium, Head of HR 1997 - 2001

"With Astrium, we were a group of about 10 employees from different areas of the company who went through the Five Steps Process together. These employees were to receive special support for the implementation of change initiatives at Atrium. These included not only organizational change, but particularly, new business developments. All the employees were connected functionally through their tasks.

Geneviève Bühler (Eurocopter)

Personnel officer

"Coaching has opened my eyes about myself and the way I lead my life: I know much more now how I need to be so that 'it feels right': what is important and what has to be present in order to be motivated to advance in life. That is a total new enthusiasm for life. It’s much easier to realize projects. (more…)

Co-founder and Director DESERTEC Foundation

"For a world with 10 billion people we need new ways of thinking and acting. New ways of thinking and acting are now available for everyone who wants it and is willing to embark on an exciting journey.

For this, Five Steps offers the space and the platform. And the people at Five Steps have the competence to lead and guide this work of developing consciousness.

"The size of the relationship determines the size of the success". This realization, more than any other from the work with Five Steps, has changed my perspective and ATTITUDE. To talk about things as they really are; to be open with people, allows relationship and to take the other seriously, perhaps at times more than they do themselves.

Jürgen Breitkopf (Kayser Threde GmbH)

Director

"For me as a leader, it is impressive to experience the competence of the Five Steps trainer. This expresses itself not only in the teaching of “useful tools“ but above all, by creating an exciting and surprising world of adventures where learning takes place. I was also personally fascinated by how clear a decision is when space of competence, respect for the individual and order in the system, is created.“

Peter Marr (König & Bauer AG)

VMember of the Board - Production (to 2004)

"With Five Steps, KBA has found a partner that methodically takes the leadership team through a developmental process with a clear concept. The success of the development process is based on the symbiosis of empowering the cultural and historical elements of our business culture and the demands on the leaders from our clients and the market.

Carlo Wolf (Cisco Systems)

Vice President, Alpine Region

"The work with Five Steps has, in the last few years, played a considerable part in how I work together with my employees. It has also helped me to better understand the importance of the human relationships as a condition for success. Since then I have continued to build on your work in order to come together more closely with my teams and to influence how they deal with their employees and colleagues. Overall I can say that the work with Five Steps has had a very positive impact on our team spirit and on the results the teams have achieved.“

Kathrin Robisch (Louis Vuitton Deutschland GmbH)

Trainer

"I have experienced many trainings but never such a depth in the process.

The clear direction you provided made it possible for me to trust and to take the difficult step towards change. I find the approach of not going through the past or future but through the Now, very interesting. Because life is happening now and now I can immediately take a different path than I did before. For me personally, it is good to have a coach who is provocative and this brings me out of my reserve. You make me cry, laugh and sweat. And when blood, sweat and tears are not a sign of quality, what then? For me the training is a big gift and inspiration."
