Anders has coached in executive programs with me for 5 years. I can rely on him 100% to take a collection of individuals and help them become a high-performing team through personal and group development according to their needs, whatever their culture or industry. As individuals they go on to be better leaders, as groups they contribute strong value to their companies.

Martha Maznevski – Professor at IMD

Anders has the gift to undemonstratively make you strip your shell to get to the core of your inner self. He asks the pertinent questions - those you should have had the courage to ask yourself before meeting with him. He is pragmatic, solution- oriented and guides you step-by-step to greater clarity in where you stand and where you really want to go.

Dr. Christian Conti – CEO - Orion Rechtsschutz-Versicherung AG

I accepted a significantly more challenging job, and it felt like being thrown in the cockpit of a 747. While I was intensively focusing on the plane, the engines, the tower, the passengers, the crew and the meals, Anders overturned the perspective and made me just concentrate on the pilot. This made the difference.
