Testimonials for Markus Jotzo’s ONLINE Speeches and ONLINE Trainings
“ Thank you for your stirring and positive online speech.”
Oliver Renz, Member of the Board, LSD
” Markus Jotzo gave our executives valuable impulses at our annual digital conference 2021, which were very well received by the 100 participants. Thanks to his intensive preparation, he was able to address our current challenges with his presentation. Here, the mentimeter queries also repeatedly formed a good exchange and dialog with the audience. Through his concrete tips it is already recognizable that several elements will sustain at YNCORIS. Thank you very much!”
Thomas Kuhlow, Head of Corporate Comminication, YNCORIS
“Mr. Jotzo’s presentation was varied and entertaining; we also felt his proximity virtually. As participants, we were interactively involved with questions and were able to take away some ideas for our topics on virtual project work from his experiences in different companies.”
Business Transformation Excellence development program – Allianz Germany
“Markus Jotzo last week for the first time as an online experience: Content rich, yet not overloaded and presented in a refreshingly interactive way – just as we have known and appreciated Markus Jotzo for six years now. Generally valuable as well as motivating for our young team leaders and furthermore a welcome “colorful” change in these “gray” special times. We all look forward to the next Jotzo event in six months!”
Jan Schmidt, Managing Director SCHMIDT UND VOGT STEUERBERATER
“Many thanks for the really very good online speech. It was entertaining and your tips are very good and directly applicable in practice.”
Julia Eble, Allgemeine Deutsche Schiffszimmerer-Genossenschaft eG
“Markus Jotzo had the group of around 40 assistants firmly in his grip with anecdotes and tangible everyday examples! The speech was customized and it inspired and strengthened us both professionally and privately. According to the motto „Courageous. Energetic. Proud!” Due to the Corona crisis, the networking event could unfortunately only take place digitally, but with ease Markus Jotzo lightened up the digital session and provided us with an entertaining and encouraging input. Many thanks for that!”
Assistant Network Allianz
“Very relaxed and entertaining training, which was also very interactive despite the remote setting. A lot of hands-on learning with tips and examples for everyday life, and the whole thing was conducted very sympathetically!”
Leonie Welp, Head of Recruiting Austria, New Work SE
Testimonials for Markus Jotzo’s Seminars
“How can you lead employees and yourself through a challenging change? In a management workshop Markus Jotzo presented with a high level of empathy and competence individual solutions and strategies, with which we can now strengthen the next steps. To consolidate and expand our path, we are already thinking about the next event with Markus Jotzo.“
Roman Lux, Head of Human Resources & Organisation, NORD/LB Luxembourg
“Well prepared and very structured, this training day was an intense learning day for our managers. Markus Jotzo was able to respond individually to the specific development and learning needs of the individual participants. Much training knowledge is soon forgotten in everyday business – but not here. Markus Jotzo places a strong focus on sustainability by effectively and efficiently supervising each participant. I can wholly recommend this training for leaders.“
Dr. Sieglinde Jastroch, HR Manager CE, Orion Pharma GmbH
“All four participants had a great time. Specifically in terms of the practical orientation and in that you knew XING so well and knew how we all tick here. Everyone enjoyed the openness and the ‘simplicity’, in the sense of how well the tips can be implemented. The fact that the participants were able to know themselves better afterward was an excellent side effect. From my side, a big thank you for being able to prepare my team managers so well for the next tasks. For any potential new training needs, I would like to be able to call on you again.”
Jutta Perfahl-Strilka, Managing Director, New Business DACH, XING E-Recruiting GmbH
“Markus very quickly identified the sore points of the participants and through very targeted tasks was able to challenge each and every one of them. True to the motto ‘who dares always wins’, he was great at inspiring us to change our perspectives, make mistakes, and let the whole group participate in the process. This was by far the best and most interactive training session in my professional life.”
Dr. Marc von Essen, Head of Sales, Eurofins Analytik GmbH
“Our leaders particularly valued the practical and practice-oriented approach of the seminar. Based on real case studies, it is possible to understand the situations in the daily work environment and discuss different ways of dealing with them”.
Ruediger Scheel, Director of Human Resources, Murata
“For the eleventh year, Mr. Jotzo has been supporting us with his training sessions, at our international strategy meetings, and by individually coaching executives. Not only does Mr. Jotzo develop effective training concepts with his passionate, goal-oriented, and tenacious style, he also questions my thinking as an international sales manager. His goal orientation and steady questioning enabled us to remove many snarls that had clung to us. This has enabled me to bring our business forward even more successfully and to continue our significant international growth of recent years.“
Claus Ripken, Managing Director, Knauf Aquapanel & Co. KG
“The two-day ‘Performance on Stage’ training with Markus was superb! It was an exciting and engaging training with the perfect mix of theory and practical exercises. The best thing about the exercises is that all the participants received feedback from Markus and the other participants after each round. And at the end, the participants’ exercises are available on video, meaning you can see how far you have advanced after the training and even work on continuous improvement. This training receives a very clear recommendation from me!”
Stefan Scherzer, Director of Technology, kununu GmbH
“The training is still with me, even after 6 months, because of, among other things, the intensification videos, many thanks for those! The seminar was valuable to me in any case. For me, the main focus from the seminar was and still is the topic of ‘delegating and letting go in daily leadership’. I regularly use the seminar notes to revisit various aspects. In this respect, I can say that this has been a very valuable experience for me.”
Alexander Schmidt, Group Leader, Commerzbank AG
“I was able to advance myself further in my field and I am now equipped to continue developing myself from here. I would also like to express my thanks for the very good confidential collaboration and I look forward to future projects with you.”
Dr. Torsten Wagner, Head of Medical Brand Management, Merck Serono GmbH
“Making good employees even better – a lot of coaches do that. Making good employees even better and working with them to bring their strengths to the fore – some coaches do that. But developing good employees who can make a positive evaluation of their own strengths and succeed in doing so – only Markus Jotzo does that. We look forward to further heeding Jotzo’s advice in the future.”
Wolf-Dieter Werner, Director of Human Resources, Beta Systems Software AG
“Markus Jotzo is one of the very few trainers, who understand what it takes for personal development to be sustained over time. Having worked closely with him in designing and delivering leadership development programs, I can say that his personable approach, combined with challenging participants, and helping your organisation to create post-training implementation solutions is creating relevant and sustainable opportunities for your employees to develop and grow the business.“
Kevin Groen, Training Architect, Booking.com B.V., Netherlands
“Over the course of 1 year and the 5 sessions I greatly benefitted from your insight, knowledge, experience and your commitment to helping me become more effective professionally, but also personally. Considering we were a group of 15 or so people, I appreciated the time you devoted to tailoring the training to the individual needs of the participants, which in the end felt like we had access to our own personal mentoring service! This was no mean feat considering the size of the group. I am convinced the training was a very worthwhile investment by my company, since all participants have been encouraged (or forced!) to face up to areas for improvement and adapt our thinking and behaviour for better results. I personally found the individual coaching and practical exercises most beneficial for me. Thank you for the challenges, advice and support in our career development. All the best for 2014!”
Angie Mavar, National Sales Manager, UK & Ireland
“Both the management training in the group and the follow-up individual coaching sessions with Markus were a great help to me in defining my own fields of development and continuously developing myself. Thank you so much!”
Libert Walter, Head Of New Business Sales Austria
“In order to hunt like a lion one must, in actual fact, do nothing. That is only partially right, for who then should hunt and why? And also, why should he or she do this for me? And…how can I best get him or her to enjoy doing it and to do it with conviction? These are tough questions, dear Markus Jotzo, questions that the leaders of the Anders Hotel have been asking themselves since their training with you. Already it is becoming noticeable how they delegate with more thought and intention. We are still practicing our feedback and are very grateful for the many tools and opportunities that we received in your training. Particularly excellent was the personal way in which you approached each individual participant while keeping an eye on the bigger picture – kudos! We are looking forward to the next training session; until then we will continue to practice ‘crossing our arms the other way’, both ourselves and with our employees.”
Klaus Anger, Hotel Director, Anders Hotel Walsrode
“Engaging, motivating, instructive: Markus Jotzo knows how to inspire people and let them grow beyond themselves. I have already ordered his book The Formula for Infinite Pride – Do the Things You Cannot Do and I look forward to reactivating life goals that I had shrugged away and neglected. Above all, I will implement them this time!”
Nadine Hak
“Thank you again for the training! Already today during my first product presentation I noticed how speed, pauses, and emphasis work. The customer wants to buy right away – it’s been worth it!”
David Gnasmüller, Sales Manager New Business, XING E-Recruiting GmbH
“A big huge thank you! I learned a lot on both days and I took a lot home with me. You are a great trainer, one who thrills the audience! You inspire people with your positive energy – a rare thing indeed. Thanks for that! ;)”
Steffi Steinhöfel, Manager, ROLAND Rechtsschutz-Versicherungs-AG
„Dynamic and animated with a lot of individuals sample like a personal training with all the keys to be a winner of professional presentation.“
Céline Galland, Henry Schein
“For two days, I was able to enjoy a completely practical training, which is just what I needed to be able to make effective presentations in my work. Markus is pure passion in his presentations. Definitely, it has been a fantastic experience!”
Miriam Olmos González, Henry Schein Spain
“For me, this was the most inspiring seminar I have had in years. The principles and techniques of human resources management are taught in a lively manner and with a high proportion of practical exercises. The energy that Markus radiates simply tears you along.”
Dr. Klaus Müßigbrodt, Departmental Head
“I have actually already implemented a lot of things. I switched my diet, signed up to staff training, separated from my boyfriend, terminated the friendship of an annoying girlfriend, and also stuck to working only 8-9 hours a day. So you see: your harsh words definitely worked with me. Thank you!”
Maria, lecture and seminar participant
“Your workshop really influenced me. You brought back my faith in myself. I’ve always realized I wanted more, but have always made myself too small. In October, I gathered my courage, focused on my goals, and approached my boss about the fact that I would like to change. We found a suitable job for me in the same department! I start in 1-2 months. So keep going – You reached me!“
Christina S.
“You first need to have ‘courage to succeed’. Markus Jotzo knows how because he leads by example – ‘In 4 Weeks to the Zugspitze Without Money’ – and reports on his personal experiences. Here, you will learn to set aside the blinkers of fear from your own courage. The statement ‘do what you cannot do’ inspires and encourages at the same time. As an untrained runner, I am now looking forward to my participation in the next company run!”
Anna-Sophia Greis, CONET Technologies AG
“What for a workshop! Just Amazing!”
Eugenio Cicala, Henry Schein Germany
“I attended the 2 day Professional Presentations course by Markus Jotzo. I found the course to be extremely informative and while I have experience giving presentations I lacked confidence. After completing the course I am much more comfortable presenting to large groups and I now have the knowledge to produce really impactful presentations. Highly recommended. Thank you, Markus!”
Lee Slater, Henry Schein UK
“The strategy workshop has made some fundamental issues very clear for my managers. It went in an even better direction than I had imagined.“
Matthias Quaritsch, Head of Corporate Communications, Hamburg Airport
“Inspired by a spontaneous presentation at the Zukunft Personal Expo in Cologne, we classified the everyday challenges our managers face with Mr. Jotzo and were able to develop a very concrete order declaration for his training with us in Freiburg. Mr. Jotzo was very well prepared and was able to respond skillfully to the participants’ needs. Our managers really liked the direct and crystal-clear feedback. There was a relaxed and open learning atmosphere to which Mr. Jotzo made a very decisive contribution. During the session, he constantly addressed our challenges in practice, thus the practical exercises in particular offered a high benefit for our day-to-day management work. Afterward, we received structured handouts and 1:1 telephone coaching, which are very valuable for the sustainable transfer of knowledge. We will definitely do another session with Mr. Jotzo.”
Nelly Schulz-Algie, Head Of Personnel, LeaseRad GmbH
“No seminar has ever involved me so thoroughly in its aftermath. The paperwork did not simply end up on the shelf. The images used were very impressive and the intensification videos always remind me to focus on my leadership task. That benefits me and ultimately my team!“
Susanne Schwestermann, Executive
“The goal-oriented and unsparing gaze of Mr. Jotzo’s questions and comments in coaching was absolutely helpful. It really took me forward and got a lot of obstacles out of my way.“
Britt Unnerstall, Project Manager, DVP Services
“Almost playfully, as part of the group the internal resistance loosened within me. This has been slowing me down for a long time. I look forward to a sequel.”
Gerhard Broecker, Broecker Corporate Development GmbH
