“For several years now, Benedikt has accompanied my management teams as an inspiring speaker, but also practically as coach and input provider in the mountains. The colleagues were always completely enthusiastic because Benedikt manages to “include” people in his adventures at 8,000 meters above sea level and he transforms his learnings into inspiration for everyday life and for work. He succeeds in this especially through his enthusiasm and authenticity and the unique transfer from the death zone to the business world. In addition to the valuable contents of his lectures, I especially appreciate Benedikt’s humble and open way of approaching and responding to every person and can highly recommend him!”
"It is with great pleasure that I do it as his contribution was very much recognized by the delegates of our conference BPM LISBON 2015, held in Lisbon last May. Barry talk was about Change in people vs strategy alignment. That session was greatly appreciated by the delegates because of the enthusiastic way of his presentation and the way he involved the participants in the discussion. His assessment was 68% for “6” and 23% for “5” in a scale of 1 to 6. In this context, I am pleased to recommend Barry as a speaker for the "Speakers Academy".
