Dr. Kappes Consulting Team

Dr. Kappes succeeds in working out the background very well using various instruments and making it clear. In addition, successful solutions are found together with his management.

It was an instructive seminar on conflict management that broadened our horizons and gave us the necessary incentive to step out of our comfort zone.

Dear Dr. Kappes,

It was a group of presidents who hardly knew each other before the coaching sessions. Of course, all of them were willing to contribute to the success of the event, but it was your ability and your personality to establish mutual trust through the nature and content of the competent discussions that is essential in such a group. I always knew I was in good hands, and even if I found myself in the situation of having to reveal a flawed approach or not knowing how to solve a problem, I was supported; at no time did I get the impression that I was being shown up. In addition, the discussions led to the reassuring realization that the problems were similar, regardless of the different jurisdictions represented, and that the participants were not alone with their problems; the fact that the proposed solutions were not just abstract, but that their implementation was followed up in the subsequent events, provided the necessary practical relevance. The case-related change in methodology (coaching, peer counseling, etc.) adequately met our needs and the occasional refresher course, which was cleverly geared to the specific case, was of course very welcome. From my point of view, the many problem cases we discussed repeatedly confirmed my hitherto rather unconscious realization that the main problems that arise in day-to-day management are less system-related, but are almost always due to perception and communication deficits. Having been made aware of this even more clearly and sustainably and having been taught approaches to prevent these deficits from arising in the first place is something I personally take away from the coaching sessions as a great benefit.

Thank you very much for that,
Jürgen Jaenecke

Concrete case studies and formulation suggestions make it easier to put theory into practice.

In his seminar, Dr. Kappes managed to pick up all the participants and take them along with him, especially to dispel my existing doubts. Numerous practical exercises were used to consolidate what I had learned. Any problems that arose were dealt with immediately and clarified with further explanations. In addition, the participants were repeatedly reassured that it is possible to put the techniques they had learned into practice in real life and achieve the desired success. I was also able to get so enthusiastic about the topic that - unlike at all the other seminars so far - I will implement the seminar content directly in my day-to-day work and make it accessible to all employees. Thank you very much for a great seminar.

Very good linking of theory and practice!

The coaching process, especially the situation analysis as well as the goal and strategy development were logical, coherent and neatly structured and thus motivating and supportive in making use of one's own competencies - also in the sense of changing one's perspective. Dr. Kappes takes enough time for the coaching process and creates a pleasant and trusting atmosphere.

The coaching was aimed at having a lasting effect. Considerable benefits can also be derived from it in the future. Conclusion: successful!

I took part in a conflict management seminar and am completely satisfied. The seminar was conducted professionally and the topics were conveyed in a consistently practical manner. Dr. Kappes always showed concrete solution possibilities. I received many practicable suggestions as well as new impulses and see myself prepared for future conflict situations.

Dr. Kappes is known to me from several events. These events had a different number of participants, participants from different professional areas of the judiciary NRW and thus also a differentiated topic in each case. Each of these training courses was very productive and profitable for me - even if not every (partial) aspect of the training topics could be implemented in my own work.

In a very pleasant atmosphere, even the most difficult challenges on a leadership, communication and social level can be discussed with Dr. Kappes. Based on his profound knowledge, Dr. Kappes provides goal-oriented support in developing solutions that fit the respective coachee and his situation.

From the very beginning, openness and trust enabled a goal-oriented, productive and at the same time highly individualized coaching process. In this way, the essential topics could be found and discussed at an early stage, as it were without camouflage or circumlocution. The feedback of the analysis to the respective current leadership events was an important element. Personal strengths were warmly "welcomed" and confirmed so that they could develop further, but things worthy of improvement and - let's be honest - weaknesses were also allowed to be present, at least in the meantime, so that they could lose effectiveness or "say goodbye". The process started with the coaching definitely continues to have an effect ... Thank you very much!

I found the coaching very helpful for self-reflection. Thus, with moderated support, I was able to work out for myself clarity about my goals and the way to get there. Many thanks!

Dr. Kappes helped us with expert advice to establish an organizational structure in our family business that freed us owners from unnecessary ballast and gave us time again for long-term strategic issues. There were often amazing solutions, and in the end it was clear what "healing irritation" means at Dr. Kappes. The collaboration was a very good investment.

We quickly had a trusting working relationship. Dr. Kappes helped me in a goal-oriented way, sometimes only by asking a few questions or building up a visual image, to find my own potential in order to better complete tasks and tackle upcoming problems. His coaching was extremely important for me in a very difficult personal and professional situation. I can definitely recommend him.

I found it particularly helpful that I was supported during the coaching to integrate the results of the process directly into my everyday life. Mr. Kappes also took the time to identify my learning areas with me and guided me in developing solutions.

As a division manager of a large MDax company with an overflowing schedule, the offer to hold the coaching sessions in blocks (usually 4 hours) on Saturdays is particularly noteworthy. Dr. Kappes instinctively identified the neuralgic points in a very complex situation and supported the solution finding also by unusual activating methods. One can be sure of the highest professionalism and strict confidentiality with Dr. Kappes. I have already recommended him to colleagues.

Saved! Dr. Kappes successfully helped us with very complicated succession arrangements for our family business. Now everyone has found his place and the company did not have to be given into foreign hands. A sovereign and skillful mediation! Have already recommended Dr. Kappes to others.

Particularly valuable and worth emphasizing: Dr. Kappes organizes the leadership circle individually according to the topics and problems brought in by us participants; we can work through these very intensively in the group thanks to Dr. Kappes' extremely targeted support related to the specific case study. The real-life situations we bring to the table, supported by his very good coaching, give me real practice and help me in my day-to-day management work. All this in a pleasant and trusting atmosphere. Very helpful.

In developing problem-solving strategies, Dr. Kappes takes into account both the professional context and the very personal to private life experience and character specifics of the coachee, so that "tailor-made" solutions emerge. Nevertheless, the results found are transferred in such a way that they are also helpful and usable for the other members of the group.
