Herzschritt Retreats

"After many years working in the development sector, I started wondering whether this was still the right choice for me. There were many things going on in my mind about commitment, wanting to try new challenges, being stuck in old ways, family, salary, buying a house… I contacted Karin to support me in putting some clarity on those issues and untangle the messy threads of my thoughts. She helped me find answers by reflecting on what energizes and what drains me, on what I really want from life and what I think I want. Karin then supported me to come up with an achievable plan for change. One year on, I have achieved all the steps I had come up with, are making great progress towards my change plan and could not be happier with the result. Thank you, Karin, for helping me see the change that I wanted!"

"Karin is a great person even before being an excellent professional. I had the privilege to work with her while coordinating HR in Europe. At this time, I met a skillful and passionate HR, dedicated to her function. Karin has always shown a participative and innovative team spirit and I strongly recommend her for any local or international HR team."

"Exzellent! Ich bin von Ihrer Idee und der Ausführung begeistert! Sie haben gezeigt, dass Sie die methodischen Grundlagen eines handlungsorientierten Trainings verstanden haben und exzellent in die Praxis überführen können. Ich wünsche Ihnen und Ihren TeilnehmerInnen Freude an den zukünftigen Trainings. Ich bin weltweit in der Lehrerfortbildung tätig und hätte gerne Ihr Einverständnis, dass ich Ihre Materialien unter Angabe Ihres Namens in Seminaren zur Fortbildung einsetzen darf."

"Besonders gefallen an Karin hat mir, dass sie die Inhalte verständlich und praxisnah vermittelt hat. Die abwechslungsreichen Methoden und interaktiven Übungen haben das Training sehr interessant und lehrreich gemacht. Insgesamt war das Training ein voller Erfolg und ich habe viel Neues gelernt, das ich nun in meiner täglichen Arbeit anwenden kann. Nochmals vielen Dank für dein Engagement und die inspirierende Zeit!" (Training 'Lustvoll scheitern.')

"Cheerful, avid, creative, sensitive, target-oriented and well-organized are the adjectives that come to mind when I think about Karin. I had the pleasure of being coached by her when I was searching for new opportunities and professional advancement. For me as an expat living in Laos, the coaching was a unique opportunity to obtain qualified advice in a foreign, often challenging environment. Karin created a holistic positioning on a professional and personal level for me. The way she performed was very clear and enjoyable. Her positive attitude and the respect I felt during the session gave me security and confirmation in my career plans. I highly recommend her as an inspiring coach with a lot of humor and charm and unique capacity for empathy."

"I just wanted to thank you again for the excellent job you did with our team – it was a pleasant, fruitful and insightful exercise. I really appreciated how you conquered the team by explaining the bigger picture of HR management and development, by being patient, intuitive and not least by your smile. Your professional seniority came with the right level of authority over our manager and the team as a whole. Well done, really!"

"Karin is a highly engaged and passionate HR Business Partner with broad functional expertise and outstanding personality. She gains the confidence and trust of others showing integer and ethical behavior. She treats people fairly and demonstrates consistency between words and actions. In a very demanding and challenging business environment Karin was always acting in the best interest of her internal customers and was a respected expert and trusted advisor. With her creative and results-oriented working style she strongly supported business decision makers. It was a great pleasure and privilege to work with Karin and I can highly recommend her."

"Sehr authentisch, freundlich, kompetent! " (Training 'Konflikttransformation')

"Karin Jungmann has been a highly professional HR Manager, very proactive and highly respected in my team and myself. She has been in charge of all HR questions for the Elements Business at Swarovski, which I have been in charge of as a Senior VP Marketing at a time. She has been a true business partner to our business unit and I can highly recommend her."

"I requested a coaching session with Karin before a new phase in my career started – and I link its success directly to the insights I gained in the session. These insights included appreciating in what kinds of teams and circumstances I thrive and perform well, which resulted in a better understanding of what kinds of jobs I should be applying for. The session also gave me the ability to embrace my own style of working and leading, without having to second-guess my decisions. This also led to the recognition that some of my abilities and skills are directly linked to character traits that are here to stay with me – thus, trying to change them would be counter-productive. This in turn freed up more energy for creativity and keeping up with changes and innovations in my field of expertise, daring to explore new approaches and feeling empowered to assertively recommend and apply these changes in approach that benefit the whole organization I work for."

"Die einzelnen Aufgaben möchte ich im Kommentar durch eine Reihe von Superlativen beurteilen. Sie arbeiten außerordentlich gründlich, sehr kreativ, weisen sehr sichere Kenntnisse zur Thematik nach, erarbeiten Arbeitsblätter und Trainingseinheiten sehr engagiert, kurz: Ausgezeichnet!"

"Sehr gut herübergebracht mit eigener Herangehensweise" (Training 'Würde macht Sinn')

„Frau Jungmann hat mich und meine Kolleginnen im Entwicklungsprozess einer dualen Leitung in verschiedenen Konstellationen und in einem herausfordernden Veränderungsprozess maßgeblich unterstützt und begleitet. Wir profitierten sehr von ihrem Fachwissen und ihre klare und geradlinige Art half uns die oft verborgenen Themen erkennen zu können.“

"Meine Mitarbeiter:innen und ich durften durch und mit Frau Jungmann wachsen. Wir haben Coachings, Workshops, Trainings und Reflexionsstunden in Anspruch genommen. Frau Jungmann lehrte uns neben unseren eingebrachten Fallthemen die Formen der Kommunikation in einer Art, die alle unsere bunt gemischten Persönlichkeiten abgeholt hat. Manchmal mental fordernd, manchmal körperlich aufwachend und immer mit Herz und Charme, Ernst und Humor. Besonders möchte ich den praktischen Bezug aller Themen betonen. Es ist eine Kunst, Theorie so begreiflich zu machen, dass sie das Hauptthema spürbar macht und im Hintergrund auch unsere persönlichen Themen (die jeder so auf seinen Schultern trägt) automatisch "mitnimmt". Das ist der Herzschrittmacherin gelungen. Nochmals ein herzliches Danke für dieses Wert-volle."
