Strategy Day facilitation for a Global HR Transformation Programme Team Sinzig, Germany | Nov 2013 | 22 participants.

“Margit has the rare combination of being perceptive, reflective and results driven. She is a strong complement to all who typically focus on operations or “hard” data. Her results has converted more than one from thinking that Change Mgmt is just a bunch of common sense mixed up with good comms. I have seen her successfully lead a challenging Change Mgmt program, at numerous occasions deploy her first class facilitation skills driving a team towards results, and finally, she has an uncanny ability to “read” participants resistances/ enthusiasm. Her humility masks great strengths. ”

– Ulrika Karlsson, Senior Director Performance and Talent Management Programs, Deutsche Post DHL

Coaching & change training for Senior IT Leaders Prague, Czech Republic | Mar 2014 | 15 participants.

“I would like to say how refreshing today’s training with Margit was. She is a tough taskmaster, enforcing strict rules which we are not really used to, in order to ensure our full attention. However, nobody minded because she is obviously an expert in her field and knew exactly how to balance the topics using the right level of her personal experience, change management theory and our hands-on participation. Everything was accomplished with a calmness, grace and a sense of professionalism but enjoyment, too. She knew what she wanted to achieve and made sure that we all reached the goal and felt positive about the program. I hope we can have the opportunity to learn from her again sometime in the future.”

– Neil Smith, Head of Operations Delivery and Enterprise Tools, DHL
