The Güpner team accompanied me in my new role as Chief Digital Officer (CDO). New structures, a digital strategy, new working methods, coaching and training of employees as well as new HR focal points had to be developed and introduced in the implementation of our digitization process. This was a big challenge for all of us with a lot of internal resistance. With her open, understanding and yet focused manner, Ms. Güpner helped greatly to reduce the existing reservations and resistance and to build trust.

Despite existing digitization processes, we were still at the very beginning of a uniform implementation. Individual coaching sessions prepared me for my role as CDO. She supported me in developing a vision for our Digital Culture and planning corresponding operational steps for implementation in the company. My role as a digital leader and leading my new 'agile' teams was also a focus of the coaching. The creation of our digitization strategy ("red thread") was certainly instrumental in ensuring that the rollout worked so well.

Güpner Consulting provided us with essential support in defining a cross-company vision and very clear implementation steps and in living the digital culture.

I think the situation has occurred for many others as well, it resulted for me in a career change with a subsequent fundamental orientation phase. At that point, a colleague referred me to Dr. Güpner. With his many years of experience, his empathy and his "critical" questions (technique), Dr. Güpner very quickly understood how to explore my own real needs and wishes and to work with me on the important issues - what do I really want and where do I want to go. We worked on the issues over several joint session spread over 7 months. A great support that still helps me a lot today.

Through a recommendation on coaching in the digital transformation process, I contacted Dr. Güpner. I took on a new management role as a department head in a medium-sized company, supplemented with the introduction of agile and innovative processes and methods in the department. Mrs. and Dr. Güpner introduced me to the topic of Leadership & Industry 4.0 and agile project management, coached me in the definition of agile processes and structures and professionally prepared the team events, on 'Digital Culture' and 'SCRUM', 'Design Thinking' among others, with me. The topic was completely new to me and complex to grasp in its implementation.

Thanks to Dr. Güpner's experience, I quickly got into an 'agile mindset' in the dialog and became enthusiastic about it. I succeeded in conveying a spirit of agility & innovation. Our agile projects are running very well thanks to the coaching support. We were able to set up the new processes well in the very important phase of the new introduction of agile methods thanks to the professional support.

I worked with Dr. Güpner during my time as Director Human Resources at TGW Logistics Group through a recommendation. With his many years of experience, Dr. Güpner supported me very professionally in the development of a global HR strategy for a group of companies with 2,500 employees and accompanied me, among other things, as a coach in my efforts to convince my management during projects.

Dr. Güpner convinced me with his flexible and open approach to my special requirements and he was able to familiarize himself with the internal structures and processes of the TGW Group within a very short time. For personal appointments, Dr. Güpner was always available in a very flexible manner, even though I had my place of work in Austria and he in Germany. Dr. Güpner's expertise and methodological knowledge in the field of human resources is exemplary and is characterized by very good, practical recommendations for action.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Güpner for his role as my companion in strategic HR management. I am convinced that his knowledge and experience will enable him to deliver important added value to any company.

Because of an upcoming job interview at a strategic consulting firm, I put myself in the capable hands of Dr. Güpner. As a medical doctor with no experience in business, I did not know what to expect, so Dr. Güpner and his many years of experience in personnel management were the optimal preparation for me.

I continue to be very amazed at how, with the right techniques and proper preparation, you can remain confident in an interview despite tough questions. Dr. Güpner has some really great tips and tricks that I would never have come up with on my own. And from my experience, preparation is really EVERYTHING here. Dr. Güpner not only eased my interview anxiety, he helped me land my dream job. Thank you so much!!!

After two professional disappointments and a certain loss of self-confidence, I got to know Dr. Güpner through a recommendation. My hope was not only to get "back on track," but also to finally get a clear idea of what career path I wanted to take.

Already during our meeting, Dr. Güpner cleverly looked behind the facade. I'm sure he already knew where he wanted to go with me. My goal formulation was the basis of my coaching and it did not only contain the professional position or a salary expectation, but it also included the questioning of personal behaviors and their assessment. The coaching was a step out of myself for me. I was able to see myself, evaluate myself without bias and then decide where I want to change. Dr. Güpner accompanied the path through targeted questioning, but the responsibility was always in my hands. What was exciting was that he certainly made corrections to his image of you - but did not do this according to the whim of the other person, but after exact assessment and detailed questioning.

With the combined knowledge of my career goals and personal behaviors, I was able to search for MY job with peace of mind. And it worked - my current job has all the checkmarks we had set then.

From colleague to team coach: How can this challenge be mastered?

When I took a decisive career step five years ago and wanted to do justice to my new role as a manager, I got to know Dr. Axel Güpner. Over a period of 3 years he accompanied me with his expertise and experience on my professional path. Through our regular exchanges and Dr. Güpner's uncomplicated way of supporting and strengthening me in my professional development, I learned within a short time how to motivate employees, lead teams and initiate changes within an institute. I have always been impressed by his life experience and professional vision.

Our work began with the formulation of goals. He kept coming back to the goals, always putting the responsibility in my hands. I appreciate the high degree of personal responsibility, combined with competent support and numerous impulses for implementation, in his way of working.

Even after the coaching phase, we stayed in touch until today. Dr. Güpner always provides me with helpful practical tips. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Axel Güpner for his many years of dedicated support and interest in my career.
