Testimonials
'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.'

'Every time I work with Ms Knipphals, I am inspired, my horizon is broadened and I´m feeling stronger for my every day life as well as my work. The offered methodology works surprisingly well and enable me to try other team positions and point of views. I feel that a couple of coaching appointments in a row are especially successful for me to accompany me in my evolvement and to effectively establish new ways of thinking.'

'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.'
