… understands its unique demands on a managing director
Georg has given me the tools needed to realize goals I've had for years but repeatedly been unable to achieve. While I am still mastering the use of those tools, I do believe I will get there this time. Georg's guidance was invaluable in clarifying what I want and forcing me to make time on a weekly basis to figure out what needs to be done to get there. Unlike other coaches I've met, Georg comes from small business and understands its unique demands on a managing director and, more importantly, the opportunities coaching lends to growing a small business, and the invisible obstacles on that path. While I was skeptical of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment, his insights into my personality type and that of those around me have lent much to my progress in achieving my goals - I find myself checking daily to ensure that I don't let old habits hold me back. Throughout our time together, Georg demonstrated a keen enthusiasm and good humor, his enjoyment evident in seeing a client piece the puzzle together with just a nudge here and a nudge there. I have since recommended him to others and may well return to him again in the future.

… insights are practically based and yield practical solutions
Georg Trapp has a unique combination of experience paired with theoretical knowledge. Over the years, he has been instrumental in my increasing knowledge of personnel management in addition to enabling reflection on my personal attributes to enable me to better position myself for success. His insights are practically based and yield practical solutions while firmly rooted in the fundamentals. Georg is open-minded, intuitive and has a profound ability to listen without judging. I find the time that I have spent with Georg to be a wise investment.

… it flushed out a number of issues that needed to be addressed
I met Georg Trapp socially through a good friend and then subsequently had a discussion with him re business and life coaching. At that time, I had a project in mind but it was insufficiently developed to proceed. When I was ready it took me a little while to 'track down' Georg, but thankfully I succeeded. We started off with a conventional framework with goal setting, which is pretty much an essential starting point. Before long it flushed out a number of issues that needed to be addressed, using Georg's holistic approach and methodologies. I don't understand how some of these techniques work, nor do I feel it necessary to understand them. The results speak for themselves. Georg's ability to flush out significant issues and to help address them, in my view is nothing short of extra-ordinary. They say that you meet the right people at the right time, and I think that my meeting Georg Trapp is an example of that. I feel I am now in a position to progress with my project. While the vision has been clear for some time, a few obstacles have recently been removed. I look forward to working with Georg in the future. In particular in obtaining a more intuitive understanding of different personality types. I thank Georg for his help. Something I will never forget.

… gained clarity in knowing who I am and where I want to go
I completed a coaching with Georg and it's with no reserve that I recommend both the coach and the coaching exercise to anyone wanting the best for their life. I found in the coaching the opportunity to rediscover myself and reconsider where I stand compared with my core values. I gained clarity in knowing who I am and where I want to go. These are huge steps forward. Georg helped a lot in the process. He is a fantastic listener and helped a lot to synthesise the bunch of ideas I was throwing at him into structured concepts. He provided the framework and the support required for me to move forward toward meeting my goals. Thank you! --- J'ai complété un coaching avec Georg et c'est sans réserve que je recommande à la fois le coach et le coaching à quiconque souhaite tirer le meilleur de sa vie. Le coaching m'a donné l'opportunité de me redécouvrir et de reconsidérer où je me situe par rapport à mes valeurs intrinsèques. Refaire le point sur qui je suis m’a apporté beaucoup de clarté sur la direction que je souhaite donner à ma vie à partir de maintenant, pour mon bénéfice. C’est un grand pas en avant. L’aide de Georg a été précieuse tout au long du processus. Il possède des qualités d’écoute exceptionnelles et aide beaucoup à synthétiser et à structurer les concepts, feelings et impressions que j’ai exprimées au cours du processus. Il a fournit le cadre et le support nécessaire à la réalisation des objectifs que je m’étais fixés. Merci!

… helped me to give my life new directions
The moment that I got in touch with Georg, I was blocked in my private live not having clear directions where to go. As I moved to Germany for professional reasons I had difficulties to integrate in the new culture and built up a new social live. On top I had new professional challenges which required additional leadership skills and a clear focus. To find more clarity in my private live, myself and learn more about my leadership skills I started a coaching session with Georg. The coaching was very inspiring and Georg did a fantastic job to lead me trough the process in a very structured way. We identified clear goals in different areas, developed strategies and actions plans to reach the specific goals. The MBTI assessment enabled me to understand myself and others, learn about my strengths, accept my blind spots and find ways to avoid stress. Georg inspired me to find my own answers to my questions. I was able to clear hindering and blocking emotions in separate EFT sessions. Through working with him I gained more clarity about who I am and in which direction I want to go in my live. He helped me to become aware of my blind spots so I could see live from a different angle. I live my life with much more fun and I feel more balanced and confident. I've made huge steps forward and I am very happy about my improvements. Georg is a great coach to work with. He is a very good listener; he never judges and has an extreme high level of empathy. His strong intuition makes it possible for him to tune in to and empathise. Georg’s great leadership skills and his own business experiences were for me definitely an added value, which I could reflect to my professional situation to enable me to be successful in my new challenges. Besides this Georg has a very good sense of humour and it is really fun to work with. Georg helped me to give my life new directions and to make the best out of my life. I will be always thankful for that. Starting the coaching with Georg was the best decision in 2011. I would recommend everybody who is stuck in live or wants to learn more about leadership to take the opportunity to work with Georg.

… relaxed, down to earth, almost instant ability to ‘switch into’ my fairly confused concerns
I must admit I was very skeptical coming into my first personal coaching session - thoughts at the time were - ‘what personal issues will I be able to discuss with a complete stranger’ – ‘there is nothing in this that I couldn’t learn from a book’ – ‘people of my age and experience should know all of this already’) – but within the first thirty to forty minutes all of this apprehension had evaporated and I realized I had made a significant move and I was fortunate to have found the right coach. I found your relaxed, down to earth, almost instant ability to ‘switch into’ my fairly confused concerns to be very impressive and to stay with these topics throughout the full twelve coaching sessions – even more impressive – definitely a talent that should never be underestimated. It has been a great pleasure to work with you and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone as a Personal Life Coach

… delivered a powerful combination of awareness and tools to improve people skills
I have known Georg Trapp for several years. Georg and his team are currently involved with a number of training & development initiatives, both in Thai and English language, in Thailand as well as abroad. As part of our Mega Master Manager (MMM) program in Myanmar, Mega invited Georg to facilitate the first three sessions of the program to our team of 56 management staff at the Yangon office. MMM is a nine months long signature program offered by Mega Academy under Mega Lifesciences' PEOPLE FIRST movement. MMM is designed to build self-awareness linking development and growth to individuals' natural talents, strengths and personality preferences. Towards this end, the MBTI framework taught by Georg delivered a powerful combination of awareness and tools to improve people skills, communication, team effectiveness and leadership. Over the six workshop days, Georg proved skilful at facilitating the diverse dynamics of our management group, across different cultures, personality types and seniority levels, with an engaging and empathetic style. The participants were delighted with Georg's facilitation and personable presentation style, and the evaluation conducted immediately after the training was all-around positive. Mega applies the REAP process to evaluate trainings, and we are confident that the long-term impact of this initiative will be positive and measurable. Georg is a passionate teacher, facilitator and a coach, and I highly recommend him.

… achieved and exceeded my original goals and expectations
Our objective was to have a leadership workshop, with an objective of bringing an already high performing multicultural team closer together in order to create a deeper understanding of how we can all work more effectively towards our personal goals and business goals in 2013. We also wanted to have the team look at things from a different perspective to understand more about each other and also areas which could potentially be included in their personal development. We decided upon a one day MBTI session. I can say without any hesitation that the workshop achieved and exceeded my original goals and expectations. For a team that has been working together for over a year and is already producing amazing results, this workshop gave them a different perspective on themselves and the team as a whole, providing a broader understanding of each other and how we can enhance our relationships and also each managers own personal development. At the end of the session all of the managers were very enthusiastic and strongly agreed that it was a very worthwhile day and something that will help us all exceed our goals this year.

… for anybody who is seriously interested to empower teams
I manage a team consisting of 9 persons, all of whom work cross functional in various projects, most related to government departments. All team members require technical, consultative and project management skills, with the need to communicate daily with each other and our clients. The complex requirements, high responsibilities and a dynamic project environment are challenging and demand highest levels of organisation and communication skills. Hence we have been looking for a way to facilitate personal and team development based on a structured and easy-to-understand approach. When we found out about Georg Trapp's MBTI team workshops and coaching, we invited him for an introduction to our office. All team members immediately accepted and trusted him. His presentation was clear and concise, promising an interesting and beneficial workshop and team coaching. The workshop was very insightful and beneficial. Georg Trapp involved everybody equally. His group assessment was facilitated skilfully with active support of Thai language and excellent cross-cultural integration. Ongoing team coaching sessions resulted in a better understanding of individual preferences and possible interactions with others. I have decided to engage Georg Trapp again in the near future to conduct similar workshops for new teams in different projects and recommend the same for anybody who is seriously interested to empower teams as a prerequisite for improved collaboration at least possible interference.

… new vitality to our team of advisers
Georg Trapp is impeccably prepared and highly skilled in facilitating the MBTI process. He is able to work seamlessly across cultures and is equally skilled with groups and individuals. In a single half day session he was able to bring a new vitality to our team of advisers in Nepal's Ministry of Health. Nine month's on we are still benefitting from the improved insights, tolerance and sense of appreciation that were first revealed during the workshop. Put simply, everyone now enjoys coming to work!

… considerable improvement in my ability to deal with people
I was first unsure when you introduced me to the principles of the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Assessment. It was only a few weeks later that I encountered the same frustrating road blocks at work and I remembered your words and felt it was worth a try. If only I had found out about this earlier. What I have learned about myself has crystalized my own person for me in such a way that I am much more aware of my strengths and weaknesses now and I use this to think over my decisions and actions every day. I have noticed a considerable improvement in my ability to deal with people, particularly those I typically struggle with. Moreover, it is helping me apply the concept with people I work with and enables me to and them to work together more closely and harmonically. Your ability to walk me through the process gently and enjoyably has made the assessment a fun experience. Where most people would be anxious about something perceived to be a test, you make it an exploratory process. It's much like watching Discovery Channel on yourself and the people you interact with, personally and professionally. This is a great tool, but more importantly, an exciting experience that allowed me to explore myself and those I work and cherish in my personal life, with the sole purpose of greatly improving my understanding of what makes both tick. Thank you.

… the best listener I have ever met …
I was originally seeking help with some personal issues - finding relationships very difficult, falling into old family patterns and emotional cycles which were making me depressed and unhappy and although i didn’t realise it was having an impact on my work as well as my day-to-day life. Through our sessions Georg has helped me with many things that I could use both in my business career as well as my personal life. Georg has an amazing and vast knowledge of many different types of coaching, understands different personality types and psychology. He can translate all this into something very practical which is perfectly tailored for the individual. He is probably the best listener I have ever met, very attentive, can read through the confusion and pick up small seeds of information to really get to the bottom of an issue and will keep you focused to work on that until it is cleared. As well as EFT we have also been working with MBTI (Myers-Briggs) amongst other things. MBTI is one of the tools I have been able to easily apply at work. Georg has helped me understand different personality types and how we miscommunicate simply through not understanding each other’s triggers, motivations and stress functions - this really helped me resolve work conflicts and improve my relationship with colleagues, which ultimately helped me do a better job. We have also been planning development days for my team (approx 40-50 junior to senior leaders of the business). MBTI is a very simple way to understand how you fit within a team and how you can contribute the most. Georg can translate these complex psychological theories into very simple language at different levels really helping to develop team capability and performance. Georg has helped me more than I can ever thank him for. I would be very happy to recommend him to anyone - whether you have personal issues or need help at work.

… getting all of us engaged into a continuous learning and improvement process
GREE Energy is a start-up business in the renewable energy sector, with a small yet multicultural team (3 nationalities) located in two different countries. With the very fast growth of our business, and therefore of the key management roles, I wanted to form a strong and cohesive leadership team to both handle short-term challenges and long-term opportunities. I asked Georg Trapp to defuse personality and culture-based communication problems while helping us identifying practical ways to quickly become effective as a leadership team and leaders. The MBTI workshops in which we participated were a very powerful way to learn about ourselves and understand how our personalities, experiences and cultures relate to communication tendencies, stress and eventually performance. It was a tough emotional exercise for everyone and especially for me as the team and company leader. It gave all of us one of those very few chances of getting the deep and true feedback from the people you spent so much time with, and so in a positive and constructive way! Georg facilitated the workshops with great knowledge and competence. He definitely knows his job and points out the rights issues while giving us the tools to really improve our performance as a company. Most of all, he did that without giving us ready-made recipe kits, and instead getting all of us engaged into a continuous learning and improvement process, which continues to deliver its fruits far beyond the workshops!

… smoothly but surely energising and guiding the group
Yves Rocher is a cosmetics retail company. All of the staff of the company are Thai, except me. The team coaching included our 5 heads of department and me. The idea behind working with Georg was as basic as improving the managerial competencies of our management team, especially by focusing on 2 aspects: leadership development and team efficiency improvement. After assessing the situation with Georg, we decided to conduct three one-day MBTI workshops with each different focus areas on self-awareness, team effectiveness and leadership development. The whole process was clearly an eye-opener for the team, leading us to a brand new field of possibilities, and enhancing our collective awareness. It was a brilliant initiative that provided us with many insights and ideas. It’s up to us now to keep it alive and bring our team competencies to an higher level. I have been very satisfied with the results. Georg himself is a truly high-level professional in his area, smoothly but surely energising and guiding the group, ensuring that everyone is engaged. His inter-cultural skills have been extremely useful in our case (Thai team + French boss). I highly recommended Georg.

Nature Ecology and People Consult (NEPCon), a Danish NGO with offices in 13 countries throughout Europe, Malaysia and Vietnam. We had our bi-annual retreat for our 100 staff held in Malaysia. The purpose of the retreat is to exchange information and get new inspiration for how to improve our work processes. Georg was invited to provide two training workshops for communication and negotiation skills. Originally the course was scheduled for only 24 staff but quickly our entire staff wanted to join the training which everyone found useful, interesting and inspiring. Thank you Georg for providing this key input to our “NEPCon week”, for helping our people become better communicators and negotiators through your well-structured presentations and mainly for inspiring us all with your presence and training.

…always sought to understand the Krungthai Axa culture…
For us at Krungthai-AXA Georg Trapp has been the preferred executive & team coach for more than two years. Georg initially proved his professional competence and great personality when we hired him to carry out MBTI assessments and trainings to a group of managers who all greatly benefited from the workshops. Georg has since worked closely with our HR team and different management groups on a number of initiatives including executive coaching (including with our CEO), change management & transformation, team effectiveness, executive collaboration, and a focused team building intervention for the CEO office. Also of great value was that Georg influenced our own development & continuous learning paths, that he was never overly tied to any particular process or methodology but always sought to understand the Krungthai Axa culture and unique HR and development environment. His interventions were all very well aligned with our initiatives in the area of diversity & inclusion. For this, and of course for his expert knowledge and cross-culturally attuned personality, he is to be warmly endorsed… we will continue to seek his guidance.

I was not really convinced…
I was introduced to Georg Trapp after he was retained by my HR team on a number of people development projects and it is fair to say that at the time I was not really convinced and didn’t quite see the need and potential for executive coaching. However, Georg’s personable and patient style, and a couple of eye-opening dialogues allowed me warm to the idea that some of the very real leadership challenges I faced as a relatively new CEO might be tackled in new and more effective ways. In the 10 months long coaching process that followed Georg particularly first helped me isolate, and then understand and address issues about how I relate to and manage the people around me, especially a large and multi-cultural team of executives, who look to me for leadership, empowerment and guidance. The most profound aspects of this process was the discovery how to instigate real change and personal transformation, by honestly looking and challenging deeply held beliefs and hidden assumptions that stand in the way of making sustainable changes. Georg always provided the right mix of challenging, listening, inspiration, guidance and support, and at no stage did I ever feel judged or lectured to. I highly recommend Georg to other executives who face career or leadership challenges – his style is gentle, but goes deep and is always focused on helping the coachee achieve results.
