“…their focus is on strengthening connections between team members, helping understand differences and synergies in teams as well as facilitating scenarios and future directions to improve focus and performance. I strongly recommend coachingpartner to any company that want to work on team development and performance!”

Stein Aarland, CEO TNS KANTAR, Oslo

 

“IUM is continuously working on competence development and chose to work with coachingpartner in 2012. As part of “IUM school” coachingpartner created a tailor made programme for our advisors where the theme was motivation and self confidence. The day was a big success. The informal, yet professional approach to the team created an open atmosphere . All participants have taken advantage of techniques and learnings created on the day and are using these in their daily work. We look forward to working with coachingpartner on further competence development in the future.”

Rachel Øverås, ex IUM, now Supertanker

 

“Through the workshop we gained awareness of how differently each of us think in terms of communication and how this can be a big risk, but also an amazing opportunity for the team. We used this new understanding to prepare better for meetings internally as well as with clients. These changes led to better communication internally and stronger relations to our clients.”
