Cristian Hofmann

Dear Christian,
With your help, I’ve achieved one of my most important goals: finding a new and exciting challenge. I was able to do this despite a difficult market environment. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish it so effectively.

The Hogan Assessment and the 360° report were the most valuable to me. You explained the results to me and helped me make sense of them. This allowed me to see many things about myself that I hadn’t been aware of before. Working on my leadership brand identity was also a key element for me. For the first time, I had a clear picture of my values, my role, and how I’m perceived by others. This has helped me immensely in job applications, interviews, and in my day-to-day work. Your reviews of my resumes and applications were always very helpful.

You were always available, even for last-minute requests, and I was able to discuss topics with you that went beyond the scope of our agreed-upon mandate. I really appreciated that.

Thank you for your openness, your in-depth expertise, and your interest in me as a person. I came away from this experience with a new job and a much clearer picture of myself and my values (as well as a little more self-confidence ;) ).

Warm regards,
Eliane

Top expert with many years of experience.

Cristian is very flexible to the needs of the customer, puts him in the center and asks the right questions so that he can develop and find the solution, the way for himself. Thank you very much, dear Cristian

"I had the opportunity to work with Cristian during my time as an executive at Sulzer. Through his in-depth experience and effective coaching methods, I was able to develop and sharpen my leadership style. The main focus was to make the best use of my own personality DNA to effectively lead teams, become more effective as a leader and thus lay the foundation for a successful career. I am very satisfied with the results of my coaching and can highly recommend Cristian - he is a trustworthy, credible executive coach and sparring partner, who responds to individual needs so that you can benefit maximally as an executive."

I am glad to have had opportunity to attend personal coaching with Cristian. Reflecting on 2022, his professional support was of crucial importance during an important change process. His coaching also sharpened my awareness of my leadership style.
THANK YOU Cristian.

How has the situation changed compared to the beginning of the coaching ?

After general initial skepticism about coaching, I was able to gain trust very quickly.Later on, I really looked forward to the sessions. I would never have thought something like that. The decisive factor was the openness of the coach, his competence as well as unbiased free thinking when working on the AMM topics. My inner and outer attitude has improved as a result.


What successes were aimed for and what was achieved ?

The improvement of the CV's in order to be able to advertise oneself more efficiently.
Identifying one's own strengths and weaknesses.
Practicing interviews in general and becoming more confident.
Working on the mindset to look more positively into the professional future.
=Overall, I can say that the desired results were achieved and it was even fun.


Name your three most important insights from our joint work:

Trust in joint work is the basis for efficiency, improvement as well as goal achievement.
Only free thinking brings people further - no thinking barriers or ideology.
The "Mindful Attitude" has often been addressed and dealt with. It is a building block in the empowerment of management personnel.


How satisfied are you overall with the coaching ?

I have been very satisfied, without ifs and buts.


Would you make use of coaching again ?

Yes, if it could help me in new situations.


Would you recommend this coaching to others ?

I have already recommended the coaching with Mr. Hofmann several times.


What did you particularly like, what was most effective ?

I particularly liked Mr. Hofmann's ability to create a trusting working atmosphere despite my initial skepticism. This caused a mental-willful opening in me, which in the end improved my attitude considerably.

"The coaching with Cristian has changed me personally and my leadership a lot. Started with the topic: What do I want to achieve and implement in my career and life? This holistic view for my Big 5 of Life was very important to me. I have gained clarity about my overall goals and priorities and am now a decisive step further in their implementation. The professional accompaniment by an executive coach into a C-level role has paid off several times over. In a trusting collaboration, there were significant new insights into my leadership effectiveness. Good questions and impulses have contributed optimally to reflection, tools give additional orientation and possibilities, which can be implemented in my daily leadership role in a complex business transformation. My very big thank you and a clear recommendation for erforeiche top leaders.

Very competent, solution-oriented and practical coaching consulting with benefits and added value. Clear recommendation for leadership topics.
Many thanks.

The coaching with Mr. Hofmann helped me to prepare optimally for my new management function. His coaching gave me clarity for my future career as a leader and showed me my personal and professional needs.

I am happy to take the time to provide feedback. A few months ago, I found myself in a professional dilemma that I couldn't easily get out of. As a result, my confidence as a lawyer, my motivation, and even my overall perspective on life suffered. I wanted to find a new job, but felt held back, mostly by myself.
I discussed the possibility of career/personality coaching with Cristian Hofmann. We began coaching that consisted of weekly sessions, either in person or via Zoom. During these sessions, Cristian asked me numerous and important questions that were both directly and indirectly related to my work context. He also asked questions
that made me think about my attitude towards life in general. I wrote down many of the questions and reflected on them between coaching sessions.
I usually conveyed my answers to Cristian to the previous week's questions in the following session. But on many occasions, the questions served as a starting point for reflection, on my own thoughts and behavior, and there was no need to discuss these issues further. It was then time to discuss other new, effective topics.
Cristian understood very well how to ask me the right questions. From the beginning, I was skeptical about coaching and its benefits, but felt confident with his competent and intelligent leadership of our sessions.
I realized and learned very early on that you only get as much out of coaching as you are willing to put into it.
I am very pleased that I am now writing this memoir of my coaching with Cristian from the happy position of a new dream job that is both enriching and fulfilling. I am very motivated in my new leadership role at one of the best law firms.
I would recommend coaching to anyone, especially with Cristian Hofmann, an executive coach with incredible positive energy, composure and intelligence.

In my C-Level role, I took advantage of Cristian Hofmann's Executive Coaching. This was very enriching for my challenging daily work life as well as for my private life. Cristian Hofmann is very responsive to the person and the context, is extremely competent and prioritizes the coaching topics according to the client's needs. At any time it is possible to deviate from the coaching plan in order to deal with urgent, current topics, which I appreciated very much. My goal was clearly achieved. A recommendation!

I approached Cristian with a clear goal: I have an interview for a great job in 3 days, I have to get this job.
Finally, after 2 or 3 months of coaching, I got the job I dreamed of.
Cristian has what it takes to effectively advise his clients: a field-tested economic and psychological/educational dual qualification.
His economic know-how helps to understand the interrelationships within the company, and his psychological expertise helps to recognize the individual in his or her individuality.
I needed a real counterpart who knows ups and downs, who can communicate openly, a person with the core competencies of empathy, curiosity and creativity, the willingness to confront and the ability to open up a new perspective, and to support me in developing my "own way".

C'était simplement parfait, merci beaucoup!

Cristian Hofmann knows what he is talking about. His own lived experience, enriched with a great deal of scientific know-how, flows into the consulting processes and thus leads to guaranteed success. Cristian Hofmann - a true diamond.

Thank you very much for the very conscientious advice. I really appreciate the detailed analysis and the derivation of recommendations. It has given me some interesting ideas.

Cristian Hofmann is an inspiring and empathic executive coach who gives a clear boost to personal professional development. His strengths lie in his structured yet highly individual approach to his clients. Based on individual development goals, he supports the coaching process with a wide range of thinking and working tools and gives you valuable and targeted impulses during the conversation. In this way, helpful new perspectives emerge and one always maintains an overview.

Fantastic workshop. I had several aha moments and left the meeting in a good mood. I directly applied the methods that Mr. Hoffmann presented to me. Exchange of opinions and experiences brought me personally many positive impulses. So I am enthusiastic about the efficiency and practicality of the workshop and can only recommend it to everyone.
Best regards

I perceived Mr. Hofmann as a highly professional coach and sparring partner. I would particularly like to emphasize his trusting and inspiring manner. He is an excellent listener with a sharp, analytical mind and always brings helpful input and valuable solutions. Most importantly, this has helped me reach my career goal in a very short time.
I have greatly appreciated our efficient and successful collaboration and am very happy to recommend Mr. Hofmann.

We experienced some change processes in our company, in which different company cultures were brought together. I was quite challenged and reached personal physical and psychological limits.
The coaching with Cristian fully convinced me. We worked out an individual program that helped me (and still helps me) to regain much needed freedom and perspective. I also learned (again) to regenerate better after acute pressure situations! And above all, the pragmatism and quick adaptation to everyday life have helped me a lot.

Cristian accompanied me over several months with his great technical expertise as a professional coach. With his personal experience and inspiration, I was competently advised in my development as a leader and was able to develop optimally.

The conversations and discussions were always held at eye level, and Cristian knew how to address current needs and issues without losing sight of the agreed goal.

His constructive feedback led me to question my actions and ways of thinking more critically and to perceive my role as a leader more consciously and to make it work even more successfully.

Very professional, authentic and personable. Calls a spade a spade and working together is so very efficient. Definitely recommendable. I was always eager to meet and was made curious. He guided me well on my way. Thank you very much.
