Customer Feedback

“We have worked with Ms. Windisch for years training our management resources. Barbara Windisch ENERGISES the participants in a most uncomplicated way, THROUGH HER DYNAMISM, HER EXCELLENT METHODOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE and her direct, open personality. With her appreciative aura she builds a very productive working atmosphere. Participants of our first program are living proof, more than half of the group are now in important management positions.

As member of the Management Resources Program I got to know Barbara Windisch as a dynamic, humorous and open-minded trainer with vista and vision. 3 years later I am Head of HR and principal to the second program. I value our easy partnership and her uncomplicated, professional and goal oriented manner. As and when required she reacts quickly to our needs and wishes.

Barbara Windisch acts professionally and with competence. Her wealth of experience enables her to listen and respond to each participant individually. She delivers a healthy mix of development and challenges. I value her friendly way and her humor. Her (sometimes critical) feedback is to the point and communicated in an appreciative and pleasant manner.

When leading our discussions in our project “short decision processes in management” I found Ms. Windisch to be foremost a  results and goal-oriented person.  She showed high sensitivity for the people involved. However, Ms. Windisch consequently followed the scope of the project in a professional and appropriate way.

I got to know Ms. Windisch as a customer-oriented consultant and trainer. Her way of working is proof of a high sense of empathy while knowing when to take charge.

In her workshops Ms. Windisch led Schiedel’s management team competently, vigilantly towards the target:  decision processes became more transparent in the first step, more direct and shorter in the second step. We won new insight and agreed on new ways which were absorbed quickly by the system and have made an impact on today.

I got to know Ms. Windisch as a reliable and committed consultant who can adapt to any seminar situation and target group. I enjoyed her refreshing and lively style, yet keeping a firm hand on the tiller. I enjoyed her facilitation: competent, open and professional.

1. Big eyes, big ears, big mind.
2. Ms. Windisch tries to engage people even when others would be at their wits’ end
3. Trains in a comprehensive way. Ms. Windisch makes a good entrance at the customer discussion, but her performance steps up yet another gear in the training course. If you expect a “soft line approach”, you will be disappointed!

I have valued the professional cooperation with Ms. Windisch in our management development program for many years. Ms. Windisch was in charge of the overall architecture, design and training of the program for three years. Her personal and individual approach to training courses and coaching as well as her high expertise in leadership, change management and strategy played a major part in the program’s success.

I attended the Network Career Program organized by Volksbank Akademie Vienna. Barbara Windisch was the lector of this 3-years program on behalf of the company Hernstein Institut for Management and Leadership. This program was preparing selected Volksbank managers from different European countries for their top management positions within the concern Volksbank International. I value this program and particularly the lector Barbara Windisch very highly, as it helped me in my further management career. Since January 2010 I have a new career challenge to be division Head Retail in Volksbank CZ.

I would say that work with Barbara Windisch was different and challenging. At the end what I have learned helped me a lot to develop my carrier. At the end of NCP there was a big change and I became Head of Corporate Division. Life is now much more easier after a few years on the same position.
