These testimonials come from managers, HR leaders, and professionals, and private users around the world—across live trainings, leadership programs, coaching sessions, webinars, self-paced courses, and learning with NavCoach.

“Leadership is complex and comes with a lot of theory – but with the NavCoach APP I can learn it very quickly and take the time to understand it better while doing my job.
The cockpit provides all key topics, showed me what I’m still missing and want to build up step-by-step. All of these topics are important for my role as Managing Director, but I never learned them in a structured way.
The videos are excellent quality, very well structured, with a good mix of content, strong visual graphics, and examples. I can watch them multiple times, take screenshots, and structure my own ideas, adapting them to current challenges.
I can learn all the content in one day or spread it over a longer period. That is much better for me than a training with a fixed curriculum and set dates.
My rating: Highly recommended for all leaders”

The NavCoach blended classroom format is significantly more flexible than traditional training. The knowledge transfer beforehand is excellent because I don’t attend a seminar just for that – the time can be used much better for in-depth exploration during the workshop. This way, the learning and thinking process, as well as the exchange with peers, begins even before the workshop. That’s a great advantage: you arrive at the training well-prepared and with prior reflection. It’s a blend of individual learning and group interaction, which fosters reflection, feedback, and depth. In the Academy APP, the key topics are always stored and accessible, allowing you to mentally ‘set down your backpack’ and revisit the topic later when needed.
“NavCoach is, among all the trainings I've attended, one of the most powerful and experience-rich virtual programs I've ever come across. The coach is a great motivator. The navigation is smooth and intuitive. The content fully meets expectations. This learning experience has gone beyond dynamic — it’s truly top-notch. I would also like to sincerely thank you for the Visioning module—it has been incredibly inspiring and has helped me reflect deeply on my lifelong vision. My overall rating: Five Stars. Thank you for an outstanding learning journey.”

Thanks Gerald! I really liked the training, as the content was provided in a very professional manner. Essential tools for leaders and their meaning comprised and easy to digest. In combination with self-learning and peer coaching a very valuable approach I can clearly recommend to leaders and future leaders!
The Learning format, the time blocks for learning are really good, no overload. Some team members were skeptical at the start, and then we got the most out of a short period of time. There are easy to understand videos and cloud content - all well considered.
The program for me was the perfect start for a) understanding how I could be a more effective, empathic leader, and b) starting my own future journey of being a coach / trainer to others. Gerald is an incredibly inspiring human being who combines patience, experience, professionalism, honesty and humility that I have rarely seen in people with his credentials. I recommend the course to anyone looking for self-development opportunities towards being a better leader, or simply, being a better human being.
I’m happy to know Gerald and the program, a great coaching and learning journey that gives you great ideas and guidance how to improve yourself and your organization. You also get real business life insights. The program provides ample opportunities for practical application of tools and approaches. I can only highly recommend it.
Gerald combines years of experience in leadership coaching, vision of the future (what futures leaders will need to succeed) and deep knowledge of the character and behavior. The diversity of topics, the way the course is structured makes it very attractive. Highly recommended.
Gerald supports international WAGNER leaders in multiple tailored webinars and trainings.

Gerald gives sharp to the point feedback combined with a matured sensitivity for people's feeling and level of acceptance. He has the charming competence to keep coachees open in their minds which is key for working across cultures.
