What others say about us
Dudu Gencel, Vienna Business Agency
Today the very first workshop of our #growthlab went online! Great experience thanks to the guidance of Petra Wolkenstein, and the participation of our freshly selected batch members. It`s great to see people joining from the comfort of their homes, bringing in different perspectives and experiences and being involved in open discussions about their businesses.
Florian Fendt, Münchner Suppenküche
Wir wollen ein schnelles und wendiges Boot in unserer Branche bleiben, da benötigt man einen erfahrenen Coach und Trainer, der nicht nur strategisch sondern auch operativ im Maschinenraum unterstützt. Gerade die Expertise von Herrn Nehammer aus Konzern- und gehobener Mittelstands-Sicht ermöglichte es uns, schneller an die Zielstruktur zu kommen, als dies aus eigner Kraft möglich ist. Wir können unsere weitere Expansion auf einem gesunden Prozess-Fundament angehen.
Dr. Adam Ernst, Goldkehlchen
Petras hochstrukturierte und positive Herangehensweise hat sich für Goldkehlchen als goldrichtig erwiesen.
Das vielfache Challenging und das Verständnis für unsere unternehmerischen Herausforderungen machten sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Sparing-Partner im Beratungsprozess. Sie kam zu uns als Coach und bleibt bei uns als Teil unseres erweiterten Teams.
Philip Morger, Switzerland Global Enterprise
