Testimonials from great people I've worked with

An excellent communication and intercultural trainer. One of the best in his field.

Mike Seymour
Consultant and trainer

It was always a pleasure to work with Bob.

In terms of working across cultures, there is nothing he hasn’t seen or couldn’t deal with.

He is not only highly experienced and knowledgeable, especially in international project settings, he also has quite a gift to work with groups and create awareness for the cultural difficulties in human communication.

Apart from the professional value he provides to his clients, he is also pleasant to work with and really just a nice and fun guy. I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Bob is an outstanding professional who knows his subject extremely well.

He has become very knowledgeable of our business which is a great asset as this makes our conversations very sharp, effective and efficient.

He is living up to what he is teaching by actively listening to everyone, asking questions, clarifying and he is also giving feedback – both, constructive and positive. But Bob over the many years we are working together also turned into a friend who you can count on 100 % when you need him – be it for his advise, support or to get things done at very short notice.

He is a very curious person and has a genuine interest in people.

Few people I know treat words and their meaning with care – that’s Bob.

As a teacher and a mentor, Bob earns my highest recommendation.

I had the pleasure of working with him during workshops & our Gdansk MBA alumni meeting on communication in Gdansk. HIS D.I.E. model gave me the strong impulse to change how I think about communication and push to understand other peoples’ viewpoint. I really enjoy working with him. I am particularly impressed by Bob’s mindfulness and ability to handle students’ interest’ on what he says at the highest level.

Jawed Barna
Group CEO

I have worked with Bob in his capacity as a Global Executive Coach.

Bob is very adept at listening, translating and probing on a wide range of matters relevant to dynamic global organizations. This led to very thought provoking, purposeful outcomes.

His skill set and reference points specific to international topics are relevant and extensive. I also found his sensitivity to the importance of “culture” in today’s world to be particularly strong. This balance provided the backdrop and context for our discussions across a range of international issues; this was coupled with an ability to challenge established thinking and distil highly complex global issues into actionable messages.

I am in no doubt that my time working with Bob has been a contributing factor to the success of my team and myself.

Nick Thayer

With Bob’s inspiration, coaching and support, everything seems simpler and understandable.

He offers a perfect balance between business knowledge and his personal skills that allows him to impact people easily.
