Personality development

Inhouse Consulting - Team Development / Leadership Workshop:

The HSEB GmbH had to adapt its Business Model as special machine manufacturer of the semiconductor industry in the last years, in order to become fair the increased automation need and the thereby clearly increased explanation need of the products and the high internationalization with massive trend to Asia.

This has led to serious change processes in the company and increased demands on employees. In order to do justice to this, the decision-making processes of the company should be changed from a historically owner-managed management style to a self-organizing, responsible management team.
As expected, this has led to considerable difficulties, which should be resolved in the seminar or management workshop.

In various longer and shorter workshops, the seminar has led to a problem awareness and knowledge transfer of modern leadership practices and what this means for the HSEB.
The feedback from all involved managers was consistently positive. Particular emphasis was placed on the little schooled style and the clear addressing of identified problem areas.

For me, as a long-time client of Daniel F. Pinnow and his team, the open and direct, clear attitude of the trainers, who are not afraid of painful statements, was an essential part of the learning process. In addition, they have repeatedly managed to abstract the problem with a theoretical background.

A further goal was to form a management team from the individual players and to integrate the junior managers well. By the open kind, some fundamental problems in the group were uncovered fast and addressed, as well as partly also solution approaches were offered. The trainers Daniel F. Pinnow and Alexander Höhn were completely accepted by my management team due to their open, sometimes direct, but always constructive nature.

For me, regular follow-up discussions a few days after the individual workshops and the suggestions given were extremely helpful to reflect on the joint work.

I can warmly recommend the dp-Academy for specific topics, like ours, but also for standard trainings. Besides the high theoretical and methodical security, the trainers are experienced professionals and have a high goal orientation with maximum flexibility at the same time.

Thanks to the support of the dp Academy and your outstanding trainers, we have made very good progress as HSEB's management team and see ourselves better equipped for the future.

With the Academy for Systemic Leadership, we have conducted a comprehensive in-house seminar with our managers. The participants were trained in the area of communication, conflict and employee appraisals.

Our managers were able to integrate essential learning contents such as structured conversation preparation and structure, optimisation through self-reflection, moderated group feedback, question techniques and the internalisation of active listening directly into their daily work.

The trainers Andreas Patrzek and Frank Stöckler were very experienced, well prepared and very close to the participants. Many practical cases and active work rounded off the training.

For us, the Academy for Systemic Leadership is a very reliable and professional partner. We look forward to further cooperation.

As I was rather sceptical in the run-up to the coaching, I had a very good feeling after the first personal meeting and an intensive exchange with Mr. Pinnow. 

Mr. Daniel F. Pinnow convinces among other things by his enormous wealth of experience and his deep knowledge, which he acquired and acquired over many years as a manager and top manager.

He has a well-founded and long-standing competence in corporate management and in coaching experienced executives! 

In an ever more fast-moving and transparent working environment, in which the demands on the management are constantly growing, the assistance and interventions as well as the recognition of one's own effectiveness and the effect on others, as well as the stronger / better use of my existing resources, networks and "instruments" were very helpful to me. 
This is not only my own perception, but also confirmed by my colleagues and employees in my company. 

I can evaluate my individual management coaching with Mr. Pinnow, which I was able to carry out with him from January to July 2017, as a complete success (personal as well as managerial).

For this reason I can highly recommend a cooperation with the dp Academy and with Mr. Pinnow from my point of view! 

I am already looking forward to further very interesting and valuable discussions and seminars. 

Open seminar - top leader 1:

As the person responsible for marketing in the IT world, it is a "daily" challenge for me to create homogeneous teams from heterogeneous employees - colleagues from different cohorts, departments and with diverse ideals - in such a way that at the end of a day the entrepreneurial and individual goals are achieved. I questioned my usual management model and sought support in the seminar "Leadership for Decision Makers (Top-Leader 1)".

I went to the seminar without a clear idea, led by Marita Koske and Daniel F. Pinnow. It was not a classic U-seating where you stared curiously at a whiteboard. The interaction of the two trainers and the interaction of all participants in various role plays quickly triggered a new way of looking at things, especially at me and my effect on other people. I really liked the way I was held up a mirror over and over again. And slowly I noticed how you can motivate colleagues and don't have to manipulate them.

Even after some time, I still remember what I had experienced and use what I had learned. I can recommend the seminar "Leadership for decision makers (Top-Leader 1)" with great conviction. Interaction with colleagues has become easier and more successful, and even in my private life I have been able to synchronize my self-image with that of others.   

Intensive seminar Leadership-Live:

A fresh different training and challenge without common topics a la difficult conversations leading teams in today's complex world etc.

Accepting, enforcing, implementing, shaping as a challenge combined with the most operative implementation of the task (without giving more away no dinner on the mountain or other prominent places).

I especially liked the sovereignty and experience of the two trainers Alexander Höhn and Daniel F. Pinnow, who always knew how to deal with the naturally inhomogeneous group and its expectations.

My tip: Nothing for characters who want to be prayed for, but more for professionals who can ask questions and are ready to question themselves.

Conclusion: Highly professional - Very effective - Only for managers who really want to get to their topics and can tolerate clear feedback - extraordinary - Absolutely recommendable!

Open seminar - top leader 1:

Unlike many other events, this one was not about the "how?" but about the "why? What drives me? Why do I act like this? What effect does my action have on others? The two trainers Daniel F. Pinnow and Marita Koske understood excellently to lure the participants out of the comfort zone and to convey deep insights. This worked almost without frontal teaching, was incredibly intensive and sustainable. I can particularly recommend the seminar to experienced managers who are willing to open up in the group and receive extremely valuable feedback.

The seminar Top-Leader 1 was my best training on the subject of leadership so far and certainly not my last event at the dp Academy!

I had the luck to attend the two seminars Top-Leader 1&2 with the "Coaching Dream-Team" Daniel F. Pinnow and Marita Koske and I can say without exaggeration that the results have helped me enormously both professionally and privately. I come gladly again and can recommend not only the seminar Top Leader and the two unusual coaches, but the dp academy as training further offerers absolutely.

Open seminar - top leader 1:

Before it was different: intensive - surprising - good ! I got to know myself from a completely different side in the Top-Leader 1 seminar. It was very helpful for me to learn how I affect others and what consequences this has on my leadership behavior.

The two trainers Marita Koske and Daniel F. Pinnow were extremely competent. Within a very short time they managed to take us away from everyday life and at the same time open us up to get to know more of ourselves, to get us involved in the group and to get us involved with the other participants.

I can only recommend this seminar to all managers who want to get to know new management systems and to look inside.

For me, employee leadership / employee satisfaction is already a decisive competitive factor today. And in the future, only managers who have learned to lead themselves before leading others will be successful in this area. This is really not a new insight - Peter F. Drucker formulated it 60 years ago.

How this is implemented in concrete terms, however, can be learned and experienced at the dp Academy in your seminars!

Open seminar - top leader 1:

The two trainers Marita Koske and Daniel F. Pinnow complement each other excellently in this very intensive seminar and deal individually with the circle of participants. The combination of group and individual exercises are thereby aligned to the participants and make so a very good self-reflection possible of the own personality in the context of self and external picture. This seminar is a must for experienced managers!

Open seminar - top leader 1:

Some years ago I participated in the seminar "Top-Leader 1" with Marita Koske and Daniel F. Pinnow. This seminar has brought me forward in my personal and professional development like no other training before. The two trainers managed to get everything out of the participants in the truest sense of the word - and that was a lot! The seminar was as exciting as it was entertaining - the seminar Top-Leader was more than Top !

I can recommend the trainers not only because of their excellent technical expertise, but also because of their absolutely authentic way as trainers and coaches unrestrictedly.

Open Seminar - Top-Leader 1

It did me a lot of good to see how managers from other companies worked together with the trainers to become authentic people and managers or to improve/strengthen their authenticity as people and in their position. What impressed me very much was that they did not do this out of "tactical" considerations, but out of the deep conviction that this is the only way to do justice to their task as managers and to really be able to lead other people. The leadership model conveyed in this seminar originates exactly from this "spirit" and is still a high ideal for me years later, which unfortunately is not yet very widespread in the current corporate world.

In the seminar Top Leader have it the coaches Marita Koske and Daniel Pinnow created a trusting atmosphere to create, which all participants carried, all the same which also straight at topics and resistances with each particular stood. Thus a very intensive learning and working group developed within shortest time, which went through the seminar together with much interest and openness.

I can only highly recommend this short time-out from everyday professional life in connection with numerous feedback and learning opportunities to every manager.

This type of leadership seminar should be part of every manager's compulsory program at regular intervals!

Open seminar - top leader 1:

In 2008 I participated in the seminar Top-Leader 1 of Daniel F. Pinnow and Marita Koske. The experiences and insights I gained at that time had a lasting influence on my future career and help me in many situations and decisions to this day. I can only recommend this seminar to every manager with a clear conscience !
