Hear from other clients about the transformative experience of My Growth Partner coaching.
Torsten Kahrmann
EMEA Sales Director at Intel Corporation
My Growth:
„As a result of my coaching with Torsten, I now have a deeper sense of self-awareness, as well as greater clarity regarding my purpose and role as a leader. I feel better equipped to guide my team through transformations and have a broader set of tools to deploy. Using facilitative questions is a very powerful technique and produces better results than directive styles. As Torsten kept reminding me: ‚Practice creates capacity.‘ I see a lasting positive effect in the quality of my interactions with both my team and my stakeholders.“
“With his deep expertise and professional yet personal approach, Torsten has been a trusted partner in this journey from day one. He went to great lengths to understand my goals and ambitions, and did an outstanding job of challenging and supporting me as I progressed along my development path.“
Wiebke Linnemann-Schweizerhof
Managing Director at Special Olympics
My Growth:
“Working with Torsten has noticeably changed my leadership! He supported me for several months during a period of significant professional complexity and responsibility. The goal was to help me regain my inner ease in everyday leadership and develop a more confident approach to challenging professional situations. I particularly valued the exploration of my different ‘inner roles’ and perspectives. As a result, I can now control my reaction patterns in challenging situations more consciously and adapt my leadership style accordingly.”
Our Partnership:
“Torsten knows how to create a truly safe space. The conversations were open, honest and professional, and filled with appreciation. He is always on equal footing, never patronizing or judgmental. At the same time, he is not afraid to ask crucial questions and highlight areas for growth. Our partnership was both, inspiring and empowering, and had a lasting effect! I highly recommend Torsten to any executive looking to develop greater confidence, clarity, and personal effectiveness in challenging situations.”

Jannis Köhler
Co-Founder & Head of Mechanical Engineering at Lidrotec
My Growth: “Working with Torsten brought a level of clarity to my leadership role that I hadn’t expected to find so quickly. Over the course of our sessions, I became noticeably more organized and intentional in the way I work. But perhaps the most meaningful shift was in how I handle conflict. Learning to step into other perspectives has fundamentally changed how I show up in difficult conversations. I also developed a stronger sense of responsibility – not just toward my own goals, but toward the people I lead and the broader environment I operate in.”
Our Partnership: “What stood out most about working with Torsten was how natural and uncomplicated everything felt right from the start. There was a genuine sense of trust and equality in our conversations that allowed me to be completely open – about the professional pressures I was facing, but also about the more personal aspects of my development. Torsten has a real talent for keeping sessions grounded and actionable, which made the whole experience feel both meaningful and immediately useful. I left every session with something concrete to take forward.”

This shift in perspective was genuinely valuable and has equipped us with practical tools to address challenges more constructively and maintain a resilient mindset going forward.”
Our Partnership:
“Torsten approached the team coaching with exceptional diligence and care. He invested considerable time in preparing with me as the team lead, and also engaged each team member individually, ensuring everyone felt included and informed. During the team coaching, his attentive and welcoming presence fostered an atmosphere that allowed us to address sensitive topics productively. Torsten’s ability to balance empathy with structure enabled real breakthroughs!”
Philip Laux
Co-Founder at Global Roots
Our Growth:
“The team coaching brought our founder team of three much closer together. With Torsten’s help, we developed a deeper understanding of each other’s perspectives and expectations towards the start-up, fostering a greater sense of trust among us. At the same time, we aligned our ways of working and gained more clarity about our roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. Although we have embarked on this journey already a year ago, we did not address these critical topics ourselves. The team coaching came at the right point in time to strengthen our agility and commitment as a team.”
Our Partnership:
“The coaching partnership with Torsten was authentic and trusting, and yet highly professional. Torsten created an open and respectful collaboration characterized by genuine mutual trust. I particularly appreciated his thoughtful preparation of the team coaching, the clear structure of the process, and Torsten’s ability to moderate even sensitive topics in an appreciative and solution-oriented manner. Summing it up: The team coaching was highly effective.”
