Experience with ISM Executive Education programs

Dr. Benno Hundgeburt

Head of Personnel, WEPA Group

The training to become a business coach has opened up new perspectives in my leadership role. The qualified instructors with experience in coaching, training, and consulting deliver the content with confidence and provide direct feedback on live coaching exercises. The exchange and peer work with fellow participants from very different professional and personal backgrounds are also a real benefit.

Sandra Sester

Psychologist, Project Lead at a management consulting company and Business Coach

Due to the modular structure of the coaching program, participants are gradually introduced to coaching methods and techniques. In this way, one’s own coaching toolkit can be meaningfully expanded with each module. Sufficient time for practice and continuous feedback at a high professional level complete the training.

Andrea Schwarz-Dymiński

Vice President Head of Global Human Resources, ITM Isotope Technologies Munich SE

Participation in the HR Excellence training series enables me to build invaluable cross-industry connections with other HR professionals in leadership roles. I can warmly recommend this format to anyone who is eager to contribute their own projects in in-person workshops, discover new venues along the way, and benefit from direct exchange with renowned HR thought leaders.
