Testimonials

Karin has a rare combination of both being extremely knowledgeable and also having the ability to teach that knowledge in an effective and caring way. When I started working with Karin, I had almost no experience and was preparing for a presentation at a conference in front of 5,000 people, where I would share the stage with speakers like Tony Robbins, Ryan Holiday, and Russell Brunson. 
On top of having very little experience as a speaker, I’m also an introvert and tend to get anxious, so needless to say, I was very nervous about the presentation.
But Karin immediately helped me feel at ease by breaking down tasks one at time. She expertly guided me through things like honing in on my core message, writing a memorable start and end, using body language effectively, and breathing in a way that calmed me and kept me centered. 
I would recommend Karin to anyone who is looking for expert guidance for creating and performing a great presentation.

Karin not only has credentials to make anyone honor her expertise, but more importantly, she has highly-honed people skills. Karin has the knowledge of what makes a presenter great in their individualized unique way, paired with the wisdom of how to express that knowledge in a manner that is digestible and easily absorbed. From the very start of a presentation, helping clarify the message, to picking the relevant material to stay on one's chosen track, to the subtle nuances the body language expresses, Karin has the patience and strength-based manner of delivery, that when working with her, the time flies; but the information, those vital tidbits and takeaways, remain in memory. I found her skills indispensable when working on my presentation. I highly recommend working with Karin. I know I will again!

We have chosen Ms. Knipphals to coach and train our entire IT Management Team with the aim to develop better and situation-specific presentation and communication skills. Ms. Knipphals´ engagement has proven to be a great investment and we were especially pleased with the way she transferred the general briefing into very unique sessions and exercises tuned towards the special needs of each manager. Further regular and efficient feedback sessions with myself helped to keep all activities constantly in sync with recent experiences and upcoming challenges for each team-member. Our Team reached 'a next level' with the help and support of Mrs. Knipphals and we recommend her to anybody who is willing to open-up and develop more adaptive and target-oriented communication skills.

I was very satisfied with the coaching sessions that I received from Karin.  We were able to sit down at the beginning and tailor the sessions around the areas where I most wanted to see improvement. Karin's style is very open and her feedback is positively constructive, which makes the sessions safe to try new things and not worry about mistakes.  The sessions around voice modulation, presentation techniques, and breathing were all very helpful and I was able to see significant progress over the course of our sessions together.  I would recommend Karin to anyone who is looking to improve their presentation or public speaking skills.
