Our Client Testimonials

These testimonials refer both to 1 on 1 coaching as to fliptheswitchcoaching group sessions.

Thank you so much Bernhard for offering such a wonderful opportunity through the Flip the Switch Coaching! You’re a great coach and I deeply value the time we had as a group spent together and the progress you’ve helped me make in being more self aware and focusing on areas of my highest productivity. I wouldn’t be this far along in my goals or have this much courage to push forward without the Flip the Switch Coaching.

East Africa Alumni Engagement Manager, Sinapis Group

Bernhard draws from his rich professional career as well as the IPEC energy leadership index to help me reframe questions and challenges. He has coached me as I transitioned to a new industry on a different continent, and then through my development into team leader. In each session I learn more about core beliefs I hold, and how I might shift out of limiting beliefs, allowing me to infuse new energy in my work.

The coaching sessions result in actionable insights for me to work and communicate more effectively, build buy-in for the right ideas and develop meaningful relationships  along the way. I recommend Flip the Switch coaching to anyone intent on growing, both professionally and personally!

FTS coaching has helped raise my level of awareness and acceptance as a manager and coach – whether it is regarding my own energy levels and how to manage and maintain them or how to more effectively “let go” and allow my team members to truly spread their wings and begin to soar. I always come out of FTS sessions with increased clarity around what I need to do, how I can evolve my leadership/coaching style and useful tips to test with my team and learn from. I would recommend FTS to all those who are really looking to make a transformational shift towards a higher level of coaching confidence.

Bernhard was instrumental in helping me identify what it truly was that I was seeking in my life and career and to take practical steps toward getting to that outcome. He was always available to bounce ideas off, was able to use his considerable experience to ask probing questions whilst not influencing the outcome and went out of his way to connect me to people and his network to help and support where possible. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bernhard, both as a wonderful human being and a phenomenal coach.

Bernhard’s coaching helped me identify and implement new strategies that allowed me to take my career to a new level. Bernhard provides valuable guidance and perspective and his passion is evident in every session. Because of Bernhard’s executive coaching, I have learned to respond to the uncertain times, I worked to become a leader who provides certainty through a clear vision and consistent communications.

Bernhard’s coaching focuses on effective ways to communicate your value and contribution to leadership. Through the coaching process, my comfort level and communication with senior executives have increased quantitatively and qualitatively. And I’m far more aware of creating and nurturing relationships with others in the organization to solve long and short range business & technology challenges. I highly recommend Bernhard as an executive coach and a mentor.

Elena Alikhachkina, PhD

The Flip the Switch Coaching Group Sessions have been an extremely rewarding experience, enabling me to take a moment to reflect on what I want to achieve, both in business and personal life and set up tangible action plans to help me fulfil them. Engaging in small group sessions with individuals from different organizations was a great opportunity to learn and be encouraged from the experience of others in seeking similar goals.

Following the sessions, I have made several positive changes which have begun to pay dividends and also had the opportunity to share my learnings with others as I coach my own direct reports. Thank you Bernhard and Dahlia.
