BLCI-Birgit Löding Consulting International

The coaching was conducted in a very open-minded, attentive and friendly atmosphere, which made it possible to point out feasible solutions in a short time on the basis of the presented actual situation (previous job, personal profile, strengths/weaknesses, preferences, opportunities). Ms. Löding understood very well how to offer help for self-help, so that her control of the process enabled a very goal-oriented preparation in a short time. Even seemingly small hints (e.g. redesigning the CV) were very effective.

The coaching led to more salary, as I as a mid-50s was discouraged from offering myself "too cheaply" but instead valued my experience more highly - which in the end was a major factor in hiring me on my terms. The new position in the investment environment offers very interesting development opportunities in a very friendly and dynamic team, in which I immediately felt in good hands. Ms. Löding paid very close attention to my descriptions of the contacts in the application process with the HR department and interlocutors in the management and specialist departments and addressed important critical questions as well as constructive negotiation proposals. Also the advice on how to leave the previous employer "on good terms" supported the demanding transition process very effectively, so that I am very happy to have been able to get a new exciting job at my age with better pay and a positive company environment. Their "who knows what it is good for" testifies to great experience in such situations and has provided me with good guidance to "put away" the emotional disillusionments in the process of parting with the old employer and in the absence of feed backs in the application process, and to go into the application process newly oriented with a self-evident positive charisma.

I can recommend Ms. Löding with a clear conscience, although it gets "busy" pretty quickly - and afterwards you are glad that the world looks quite different again after a short time. What else do you wish for ? So if you are looking for an empathetic sparring partner with high standards, great incentive and very good prospects of success, you are in good hands with Ms Löding.

After a few weeks in which I was able to apply what I had learned, I can say that the coaching was very successful. It has helped me a lot in the transition to a global leadership role.
The detailed discussion of the results of the various tests helped a lot in raising awareness. I was able to get very helpful tips for communicating with colleagues from different cultures.

Ms. Löding is an experienced consultant, goal-oriented for her client and with honest feedback. My resume became much clearer, more structured, more professional through her concrete tips.
Her very good preparation for the job interview gave me a noticeable sense of security and ultimately led to success! Even after that, the coaching sessions helped me to reflect on my work as a manager and to get new impulses. She also helped me to optimize my internet presence (LinkedIn and Xing). I can only recommend her coaching!

Ms. Löding motivates and outlines the suitable solution in joint work. I always had a good feeling and finally this cooperation resulted in a successful new project. I can recommend her to everyone with the very best conscience.

Mrs. Löding led me very professionel through the entire process of the job search for a CFO position. She helped me to be more specific with regards to my actual carrier focus and opportunities in the German job market. She perfectly identified my strengths and was very supportive in uplifting my CV for the next level.
Interview training made me very well prepared, relaxed and self-confident while having them at the companies. The result: I have got the job I exactly wanted.
This is the investment, that is absolutely worth it, in case you want to either get your dream job or significantly increase your chances compared to the others while being on the job search.

I worked with Ms. Loeding when I wanted to find a job back in Germany after a long stay abroad, which turned out to be not easy with my age bracket (50+) and with a not straightforward but interesting resume. Ms. Loeding was very professional and had great understanding and empathy for my situation. Her strategic objectives and excellent knowledge of the German job market resulted in me receiving a good offer within six months.
Ms. Loeding was always very flexible in scheduling appointments and, when necessary, for example, when I was invited to an interview at short notice, she was always ready to advise me at short notice and to prepare me comprehensively for the interview. I can highly recommend Ms. Loeding for difficult phases in career orientation.

I particularly liked the clear approach and determination. Add to that years of experience, a good concept and her friendly manner.

I asked Ms. Löding for advice regarding a special constellation. Ms. Löding's support was extremely concise, analytical, individual and solution-oriented. She fully grasped the upcoming situation, its particularities as well as my personality and worked out the appropriate strategy with me. In doing so, she was both empathetic and stringent. I found the appointment very helpful and encouraging, would recommend Ms. Löding at any time and would be very happy to work with her again myself.

- High level of analysis and consulting
- Very useful and pragmatic support in concept development

With the help of Ms. Löding's professional advice, I made the leap from many years of self-employment to a management position at a Big 4 consulting firm. I had already been self-employed for over 15 years before I turned to Ms. Löding for interview preparation. The preparation was very thorough and I mastered the upcoming phone interviews and face-to-face meetings on the first try. Only five weeks passed between the preparation appointment and starting the new position. I was especially helped by the thorough preparation of my self-presentation and thorough presentation of my achievements and accomplishments. I'm glad I didn't leave this big career leap to chance.

Ms. Löding was always a professional and helpful companion during my professional reorientation. Starting with the personal location analysis, through the development of an individual strengths profile, to the preparation of professional application documents. Ms. Löding always gave me new and constructive impulses. In the end, I was able to apply for my desired positions in a targeted and professional manner and to successfully go through the application process. Even afterwards, Ms. Löding always remained open to questions and was a competent contact person at all times. Many thanks for the good and friendly cooperation!

spontaneous, uncomplicated, creative

I can recommend Mrs. Löding 100%!

I worked for years as an executive in the international insurance industry, among other things. In my search for a new responsible professional challenge, Ms. Löding was able to help me successfully due to her immense experience, her absolute professionalism and her great personal manner. In addition to helping me with the preparation and formulation of the application documents, Ms. Löding prepared me well for the interviews. Thanks to her excellent contacts with decision-makers, I found a new role in a completely different and very promising industry in the Düsseldorf area.

Without Ms. Löding, none of this would have been possible! Thank you very much!

Ms. Birgit Löding convinced me not only with her professionally competent coaching, but also with her empathetic and flexible, yet always very focused manner. Within a very short time, we analyzed and worked on the issues necessary for my specific situation. From the discussions I was able to take away many positive impulses beyond my actual concerns. Many thanks for that!

Ms. Loeding came highly recommended to me when I had to go through an unexpected reorientation. As an engineer and product developer for many years, I had no experience applying at the VP, Director level. Ms. Loeding helped me translate my professional experience for applying for jobs for non-specialists and prepared me for the interviews through her coaching. After only 6 months, I had a new position. Her contacts with headhunters got me several interviews. I especially liked the test that questioned my agile leadership skills. It gave me additional clarity about my strengths, but also clearly showed what I should work on in the next probationary period.

When you hit stagnation in your career and finding new opportunities is need of the hour moreover in a foreign land then you need a coach who could step into your shoes and guide you in right direction. It was wonderful to get Ms Löding's help not only with her competence and profile but also with ease in providing coaching in English helping to chalk out a career map as divisional CFO across Europe, her sympathetic attitude, availability and international sensitivity made all the difference.

As an industry expert at a bank, I wasn't looking for just any new challenge in the industry, but at 50+, the perfect fit. In the end there were several alternatives and with the support of BLCI I made the right decision. I can still say that with conviction 2 years after my consultation. Emphathy and professional expertise were the success factors in the support provided by Ms. Löding. I was happy to recommend her in my private environment.

For me as an executive, the coaching by Ms. Löding was perfect and goal-oriented. With the preparation from an assessment center and an interview, I was able to get an interesting job offer and expand the earning potential by more than 15%.
Thank you very much for your personal support and time flexibility.

The coaching prepared me perfectly for the ONE, internal interview. . . On which everything depended!
In just a few hours I was able to strengthen my presentation skills and build up the necessary standing and self-confidence for myself. It worked out with the position in middle management, the managing director and personnel developer were visibly impressed.
The development I made through the coaching is noticeable in many areas: Meetings, staff interviews, speeches, etc.
And I celebrate the new job every day anew: I am very grateful for this TURN in my professional life. The investment has already more than paid off.
Ms. Löding gives you the necessary tools, the appropriate know-how and the necessary self-marketing strategies that make the difference in the end and lead to success.
