The personality analysis and the coaching broaden the understanding one has for one's self and one's team as well as for the current work situation. I have been very impressed with Symbolon's work methods and can recommend this process to all innovative managers.

and Generali Academy
An important aspect of leadership behaviour today consists of working with people from the job role or the "Leadership" profession. The most important element of leading is the leader himself. This is why we see an important emphasis on professionalizing leadership in conflicts with one's own person. With her approach of using pictures as access to the leadership personality, Christine Kranz has broken very creative and efficient ground for managers. Not least due to its highly aesthetic impression this diagnostic tool is inviting. Ms Kranz develops the feedback of results to the respective participant in such an insightful and individual way that there remains room for more discovery of one's own depth.

The first trainings with Symbolon already showed deep experience processes for our young team. This can especially be seen in positive changes in cooperation. We have been able to see a definite increase of motivation in the work process. Leadership competence was also remarkably improved by the individual personality development. Cooperating with Symbolon is comfortable and effective. The entire team is looking forward to the next training.
Nahrin AG, Sarnen (CH)
Heinz Studer, Member of Management
During and after the introduction of the management system to our company, especially aspects such as organization, structuring, facts and figures were in the forefront. Ms Christine Kranz then took over the duty of sensitizing the outside and inside work teams for so-called "soft" factors. The heterogeneous cadre group reacted honestly to the thought processes and training units were acknowledged by all participants. Finally a number of tangible ideas and improvement suggestions were developed in the seminar, on whose implementation we are still working today. I remember the seminar fondly, for me personally and for the participating cadre group.

Dr. Josef Fesèl, Manager Human Resources (Juli 2003)
When is consulting useful? When certain changes that had previously been impossible or unthinkable happen to people and organisations. And it has been my experience that such processes are not only triggered by models and concepts, but especially by the consultant's personality in its capacity to work in an appreciating manner with other people's "spirits". Christine Kranz is an effective consultant. I have experienced her observant manner as a consultant and tutor at work in my own team; she is professional on the practical and "delicate" levels of development work, and works in a very enthusiastic and humorous way.

Symbolon handles the core topics with expertise and intuition. I was able to implement all I learned in my business and private life.
SFS Services AG, Heerbrugg (CH)
Thomas Berner, Personnel Management
In our increasingly fast and complex world, good professional and branch knowledge is no longer sufficient in the sales field work. We have worked in workshops with Symbolon AG, and learned to observe the inner attitude and inner motor, as well as approaching the client with enthusiasm and self-motivation. The path with a part of our field work team was steep but successful in the end and "results count".

Mag. Sonja S. Schloemmer MBA, MAES, Head of HR Development
During a very difficult change process, Symbolon allows out top management time for reflection. The coaching for the top management with the "Symbolon Personality Profile" is of highest quality and very effective. The motivational seminars eased the continuously needed changes in organization, and were especially successful for the integration of employees from former subsidiaries, since they increased the acceptance of different company cultures.

for Economic Companies, Vienna (A)
Heinz Neumayer, Head of the Training Department of the UNIQA Insurances AG,
Executive Director of the ÖBW
As trainer and training officer I have tested a number of different personality profiles over the years. For me, the large difference between traditional personality profiles and the "Symbolon Personality Profile" is that I always have the impression that other profiles have a claim to permanence and there are no opportunities for change. I am basically "labelled" and do not feel motivated to permit change. What is especially impressive about the "Symbolon Personality Profile" is the efficiency factor. This method has been constructed so that one advances to personal core topics in a short time. As a person, Christine Kranz captivates by her precise approach as well as competence on the highest level, by on one hand questioning core topics and on the other hand being very motivating for the coachee without exerting pressure.

Mag. Marion Kitzberger, Head of Training Service
We have trained left-hemisphere competences for years if not decades and reached a degree of perfection which, seen from afar, is rather absurd. The concept of "more of the same" has long passed its optimal point of efficiency. We finally see that the real, effective "distributing centres" for success - for the individual and the organisation - lies far below the polarized (and trained) surfaces. So we are well advised to regard the areas in which the conscious and unconscious flow into each other, beyond the classic methods for consciousness- and organisation development. Symbolon is a great tool, both sensitive and efficient, to find and harmonise imbalances in deeper levels. I can confirm from personal experience that both the people and the organisation will profit from this.
