The business coaching exceeded my expectations in every respect. I was particularly impressed by the combination of consulting and executive coaching. It provided both practical, well-founded strategies for developing my business and valuable insights to strengthen my leadership. The approach is highly personalised, solution-focused and designed to deliver lasting results. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Exceptionally well organised, highly professional and the perfect blend of theory and practice – by far the best training programme I’ve attended.

Julia Erlach / KOKO Contact and Communication Centre for Children

The training was amazing!

Daniel Berger / KOKO Contact and Communication Centre for Children

COX Coaching & Consulting supported our management development programme in the tax advisory sector with a wealth of expertise – and even more Austrian charm. The combination of sound methodology, a light-hearted sense of humour and genuine warmth quickly built trust and created an exceptionally open and effective learning environment. Our managers not only learnt but also laughed – and clearly grew as a result. I highly recommend COX.

Marina Zellwecker / Law Office Zellwecker

Michaela Sauerwein and her team have supported us at Austrian Post with a range of team-building initiatives and development projects. Their high standards and commitment to quality have ensured that every project was tailored to our needs. We have been working together for the past 18 months and look forward to many more successful projects in the future.

Nicole Schlögl / VP Marketing & Product Management / Austrian Post

During a product development workshop, we generated 300 ideas from a shared knowledge base and refined them into a winning concept.

Eva Hübner / Head of Membership & Travel Insurance, Product Management, Market Research, and Analytics / ÖAMTC

It’s always a collaboration between equals. There’s plenty of humour – we laugh a lot. It’s genuinely enjoyable. And while a workshop may sound like hard work, it doesn’t feel that way. The enjoyment is a big part of why we’ve made so much progress.

Christian Pothorn / CEO / INTARIA
