Plus Kompetenzcoaching GmbH

My coach gave me valuable tips and guidance. I feel better prepared now. On a personal level, too, the coaching was a very positive experience.

Perfect support on an equal footing. I am absolutely thrilled with the coaching I received from Markus Kimpel. From our very first conversation, there was a respectful and trusting rapport between us. He addresses individual needs and goals, meets you exactly where you are, and then builds on that foundation with clear structures. Thanks to his motivating approach, I’ve gained a tremendous amount of clarity and have taken a great deal away from the coaching. Thank you so much for the great support on my career path!

After many years as a manager in industry and the service sector, the coaching and the material covered helped me realize that I would be better suited to a different, more technically oriented field. Thanks to the techniques taught during the coaching and the exercises we worked on, I now feel confident that I can navigate this technical field in a much more focused and effective manner and find a suitable position there. Many thanks to my highly competent coach for the excellent and very effective coaching.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Plus Kompetenzcoaching for their wonderful support. Looking back, the coaching was not only a source of guidance during my startup phase, but also one of the most important steps on my path to self-employment. I always felt well-guided, understood, and supported.

A very special thank you goes to Thomas Kleiner, who worked with me to create my financial plan with incredible patience. He not only gave me valuable tips but also shared a wealth of knowledge and helpful insights along the way.

A big thank you also goes to Maureen Kiganga-Schmincke, who provided such great support not only with my website but also in the areas of media design and marketing. Without her, my public image would never look or feel the way it does today. You can immediately tell that she has a special eye for design, details, and the overall impact. At the same time, you can sense that she truly loves her job, and that is exactly what shines through in her work. I am incredibly happy with the result and greatly appreciate her support, her ideas, and our collaboration in bringing them to life.

Overall, through the Plus Competence Coaching, I have gained a great deal of clarity, knowledge, and confidence. I am glad to have received this support and can wholeheartedly recommend the coaching.

Best regards and all the best to everyone,

The coaching helped me refine my elevator pitch to make it clearer and more precise, and further sharpen my positioning as a professional. I found his honest feedback particularly valuable—specifically, his insights into how existing and new contacts perceive me, and how I can make my communication even more focused and clear.
Thank you very much, Markus. I will keep your recommendations in mind and continue working on making my everyday communication even clearer, more precise, and more authentic. Sybille

Overall, I found the coaching to be very beneficial, professional, and deeply supportive on a personal level.
I would like to extend my special thanks to Dr. Désirée Garten for her dedicated and empathetic guidance.

As a resident going through a challenging professional and personal phase, I particularly benefited from her deep understanding of both the realities of medical work and the associated stress and uncertainties. She addressed my specific issues, questions, and expectations regarding the coaching and provided me with significant support—not only professionally but also on a personal level.

I found the structured reflection on my professional career to date, as well as the targeted recommendations for optimizing and updating my application materials, particularly helpful. The coaching helped me define my professional goals more clearly, prioritize my objectives, and develop a concrete and realistically achievable roadmap for my next career steps.

I also found the practical job application simulations to be very valuable. The constructive feedback helped me further develop my self-presentation, gain more confidence in my demeanor, and identify my own development potential more effectively.

Furthermore, I also benefited from working with other coaches on the team. The different perspectives and approaches further enriched the coaching and opened up new angles of view.

In conclusion, I would like to sincerely thank the entire team. I am taking away many helpful insights from the coaching, as well as significantly greater clarity regarding my future career path, and I can recommend it with great conviction.

Many thanks to Markus Kimpel. His experience as a coach has opened up new perspectives for me, and I’ve learned a great deal. I particularly appreciated his personal approach and the way he gets straight to the point. That has really helped me move forward and is now giving me a lot of energy for the next steps.

High praise for Petro Rigos. Working with him during my coaching sessions was always a collaborative, motivating, and very respectful experience. Petro Rigos creates a positive atmosphere, structures our sessions in a focused way based on his experience, and leaves plenty of room for personal discussion—an excellent framework for working together.
After 20 sessions, I’ve gained new perspectives on my career options, improved application materials, an optimized social media profile… and a clear picture of the areas I still need to work on.
My expectations for the coaching were clearly exceeded—thanks in part to Petro Rigos.

I am very satisfied with the coaching. As a doctor, I wanted to specifically prepare for a transition into the pharmaceutical industry, and PlusKompetenz provided me with exactly the support I needed.

I found the structured guidance in defining my next career goals particularly helpful, as well as the concrete tips for optimizing my resume. The preparation for job interviews with practical exercises was also very valuable.

What I particularly appreciate is the constructive feedback, which helped me gain more confidence in the application process and recognize my own value more clearly.

The team was always very friendly, and the sessions were well-organized, pleasant, and effective.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the coaching.

Special thanks to Markus Kimpel, Susanne Balzer, Bernd Steffens, Katharina Stopienska, and Pamela Koerner. The coaches’ extensive and in-depth experience has opened up a wide variety of perspectives on the topic. I have greatly benefited from their professional insights and now look to the future with renewed confidence.

Excellent coaching with Markus Kimpel—my very first session: twelve hours that don’t feel rushed or crammed, yet still cover everything in depth. His open, experienced, and knowledgeable approach immediately establishes a foundation of trust. He remains focused throughout, yet relaxed, with a touch of humor. Guidance that feels like a friendly exchange. Shortcomings aren’t glossed over, but respectfully addressed and then transformed into skills. The focus on modern applicant management—specifically the use of AI tools—is particularly helpful. It’s ideally suited for older professionals or executives who have rarely found themselves on the applicant side before.
Last but not least: The team at Plus Kompetenzcoaching also does a great job; they are accessible, helpful, friendly, competent, and quick to respond.
I highly recommend them.

I was very fortunate to work with Petro Rigos as my coach, and looking back, I can say that this experience was truly transformative for me.
Petro has a unique way of bringing clarity to complex issues. He doesn’t just listen; he quickly grasps the core of the matter, both professionally and personally. It is precisely this combination of analytical strength and a genuine understanding of people that makes his work so effective.

What I particularly appreciate: He doesn’t give standard answers. Instead, he challenges you to sharpen your own thinking, recognize blind spots, and make bolder decisions. In doing so, he always remains respectful, honest, and on equal footing.
Through our collaboration, I have not only made concrete progress on my professional challenges but have also developed a clearer understanding of my own strengths and priorities.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Petro to anyone who wants to grow, whether professionally or personally. He is someone who doesn’t just guide you—he truly makes a difference.

Maureen, Anja, and everyone else on the team were all really great—always helpful and very knowledgeable!

Markus Kimpel was very attentive to my individual needs, and his empathetic approach really helped me make tangible progress in my situation. The coaching far exceeded my expectations, and I can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Petro Rigos was a great coach. Thanks to him, I was able to clearly identify the direction I want to take. We’ve already submitted an application in that field, and I have an interview next week. I would highly recommend his coaching services.

I would like to sincerely thank my coach, Mr. Markus Kimpel, for his expert and empathetic guidance. I not only learned a great deal about the application process, but also about myself and my situation. This coaching was a huge benefit to me, and I would highly recommend it.

The coaching was really interesting and a lot of fun. The two coaches I had were so friendly, and I’m glad I had this experience.

I highly recommend it, as it really helped me prepare for my job applications and I feel well-prepared. You don’t just learn how to prepare for interviews, but also a lot about yourself.

Warm regards to my two coaches :)

Competent, empathetic, and solution-oriented. The coaching helped me tackle my professional challenges. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow professionally.

I would like to expressly commend Mr. Petro Rigos, Dipl.-Ing., for his outstanding work. I was particularly impressed by his empathetic and inspiring manner when interacting with people. He takes the time to listen attentively and addresses individual concerns with respect.

Throughout, he remains polite and professional without ever coming across as distant. His technical expertise is clearly evident! He conveys information in an understandable way and always offers helpful, practical support.

Despite his consistently focused and dedicated approach to his work, there was always room for a quick laugh. This pleasant blend of professionalism and humanity creates a trusting and motivating atmosphere in which I felt completely at ease.

My sincere thanks go to him for his extraordinary dedication and valuable support. A performance that can be rated as first-class in every respect!

Best regards,

Sascha K.

The coaches' life and leadership experience helped me gain new insights and achieve personal growth—thank you very much for that!
