Hans Schumann, Executive Career and Life Coach (ICF PCC)

“I really value the time I spend with Hans, he creates a safe space to dig into and question whatever needs to be worked on. The Enneagram personality types provide a reference point for discussions when looking a range of topics which include but not limited to, team dynamics, individual relationships, leadership and business strategies. Hans was recommend to me and I definitely recommend Hans!”

“My overall experience with Hans as my life coach was really excellent. I can clearly see the difference it brought in my life and career. By the time I started with Hans my life was out of balance. With the ever increasing pace of job and work demands I was near the edge of my ability to cope with the exhaustion, emptiness and loss of life perspective. Hans, with his warm and friendly approach, helped me to calm down and look at my self from a new angle. Through Integrative Enneagram I recognised my emotional type with its strengths and weaknesses. This allowed me to accept myself, to become my own friend and apply changes in my life though self-encouragement rather then self-pressure or judgement. I explored my personal values and started integrating them in my life with the aim of balance and fulfilment. Now I look forward with confidence and optimism, daring to dream and work on my personal and professional development. Hans is highly responsible and strict with his appointments. He demonstrates genuine interest in his clients with determination to help and offer advice. His approach is open, friendly and at the same time highly professional and non-judgemental. I highly recommend Hans as life coach in all types of personal, professional and, I believe, organisational challenges.”

“I started coaching sessions with Hans because I felt quite lost in terms of how to move on with my career as a freelancer. During our sessions, I learned how powerful it is to discuss job issues with someone professional, in order to gain more clarity, motivation, and confidence. I feel I have grown personally and as a professional and that I am now taking steps towards a more independent future. I highly recommend!!!!”

“Hans agreed to help me bring more Wellbeing initiatives to Santander and he offered a talk about Work/Life balance that worked really well with the teams. The feedback received reflected Hans positive predisposition and they mentioned what an engaging speaker he is. He used real life examples to put the importance of the subject into perspective and many attendees have already started implementing his tips. All in all an excellent coach that we'd love to be able to have again soon at Santander. - E. Velasco - Learning & Development consultant for L&R at Santander.”

“Who will coach the life coaches? The answer is Hans Schumann. He brings his unique "German Engineering" approach to coaching that is sensitive, delightful, authentic and practical. I have had some breakthroughs in my perceptions that have made a lasting and positive change in my life. I have also learned some great coaching techniques and wisdom from him that I now apply with my own clients!”

“A career planning workshop being run by Hans was recommended to me by a friend, so I booked to go with the hope of gaining a better understanding of how I could find a job that would be truly rewarding to me. What a great decision that I will never regret. Going on this course made me take immediate positive steps that have now enabled me to successfully change my career. Like many people I guess, I fell into a career that although I felt I was good at, wasn’t totally fulfilling somehow, although I could never really put my finger on it. Han’s workshop was brilliant. I gained so much from one day it’s quite unbelievable. I went in feeling a bit overwhelmed that I couldn’t change things even if I wanted to and came out feeling full of enthusiasm that I knew what I wanted to do with my life and moreover, that it was in my power to move the obstacles required to get there. This isn’t some workshop that you do and forget about. The way that Hans facilitates your thoughts to get to the bottom of where you want to be and how you can get there, is amazing. Hans helped me to decide on some changes that I should have made a long time ago and gave me the confidence to follow up on them. Thank you, Hans.”

“Hans recently hosted a coaching session for my team on Personal Brand and Team Brand. It was a highly insightful, interesting and enjoyable session. I am putting together a new team and wanted the team to focus on how we should be viewed internally and externally (as individuals and as a team). Hans gave us a great structure to work from, and as part of the session we agreed values and service excellence standards that we will develop and use going forward. Hans is a very engaging host, with a real enthusiasm and passion for coaching. I would really recommend Hans for team coaching sessions. ”

“After a Law career spanning ten years in the City, I was yearning for a change. Coaching with Hans helped me solve a number of puzzles surrounding my medium to long term career aspirations and life goals. I was able to recognise my core values and develop the strength to pursue my dreams with confidence. I have now made the transition from private practise to in- house and about to make an exciting relocation from London to Berlin. I also made various other changes to my lifestyle during this process, the sum of which has been life changing. I strongly recommend Hans as a life and career coach. ”

“Hans has been a pleasure to work with. I first came to him at the beginning of my coach training journey. He not only helped me break through internal barriers that were held within myself holding back my progression, he also was a trusted mentor in the process of training in the art of coaching. Hans is upbeat and friendly and always looked forward to our time together. I walked away from our 10 sessions with clarify and confidence in how to move forward with my coaching (with some great advice and tips to point me in the right direction on my new journey).”

“12 months after starting to work with Han's, I have successfully launched two new businesses and made significant improvements to my business strategy, marketing and operations. I recommend Hans to anyone who wishes to make structured changes in their career.”

“I attended Han s workshop and found it really well structured and the handout was really useful. The group interacted really well too. A very enjoyable and useful experience”

“I decided to meet with Hans as I had been within the same industry for over 14 years and had lost my passion and drive. At the very first meeting, he opened up my eyes to where my true passion lay and over the course of the next few sessions, we then developed this further and explored various different avenues, career wise, that related to my passion for investing and personal finance. It is through Hans’s direction and support that I then had the confidence to embark on a new and exciting career within wealth management. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hans for those looking for careers’ advice and wishing to consider what could be a life changing decision. ”

“I came to coaching to better understand myself and find what it is that I look for in my work. Hans was a natural choice for me, he has an international mindset, an inspiring career, but most importantly an honest and caring desire to help. Following my 14 sessions with Hans I am confident with my skills, clear on my ambitions, and focused on staying fulfilled in my professional life. Hans helped me stay accountable for my life and my choices, I highly recommend him to anyone ready to make changes in their life. ”

“Over a 12 week coaching intervention, Hans has helped me uncover and articulate my personal purpose and values, and develop an action plan to bring those to life. While our discussions have led to clear results, we've also taken time to explore a range of topics, and the process has been very interesting and revealing. He has supported, motivated and challenged me, and it's been a pleasure working with him.”

“From personal development right through to crisis management, working with Hans is true enlightenment. With Hans's friendly, dynamic and always forward facing approach, I have been able to unlock potential and explore issues in ways I never though possible before. Thank YOU Hans for all your support and dedication. HIGHLY recommended!”

“Working with Hans, I have achieved things I could not have done alone. He has helped me to re-assess my values, re-balance my priorities, and clarify my goals, with immediate practical positive results. Hans works with great insight, warmth and humour. I recommend him whole-heartedly. ”

“I worked with Hans for a number of years. He started as a German trainee and ended as a vital member of my team (fully qualified in England and Germany) able to deal with the most complex of commercial agreements in a variety of different legal areas from intellectual property through IT and outsourcing to gaming. His flexibility and willingness to take on matters at short notice was invaluable. I was sorry when he deciied to leave private practice to go in house but he remains a good colleague.”
