Birte is a true sunshine, she is absolutely authentic, passionated, empathetic and even after a couple of hours of training I still felt energized, because she has such a great energy that fills the whole room. The whole Lab was extremly valuable and insightful. It helped me to take a next career step, to find my own style and to pass on my knowledge to the whole team. What I liked most is that she really first tries to understand the needs and the circumstances, before she comes up with her knowlegde and tools. She adapted her whole training to the needs of the group, plus I had the chance to challenge and discuss my current situation.

Laura Seitz

I've had the pleasure of working with Birte on refining my product management skills. Through her effective use of a skills matrix, we were able to pinpoint my strengths and areas for improvement. Her mentorship has provided me with a clear and tailored action plan. Birte's style is straightforward and accessible. She builds your confidence while driving you to grow and improve. If you're in product management and need a guiding hand, Birte's mentorship is a game-changer!

I was participating in her LAB yesterday. I found it absolutely great and refreshing. I'm not an extrovert person and I was impressed by how simple and "do-able" the exercises were. I have gained valuable takeaways from this experience.
