“Some people would like to change the world, sometimes it may be enough to change oneself, at least a little. That is what Ulrich has helped me achieve. What started as a communication and leadership coaching, gradually turned into a voyage into my vision of work and of relations with others. The result was a new understanding of myself and of my motivations, and ultimately more joy in my professional development. Many thanks, Ulrich: going there was as much fun as reaching the goal!”
Marco Malacarne, Head of Department, Executive Agency for SMEs
“Ulrich is a highly professional coach and inspires to put management and leadership into practice. He has the competence to manage emotional issues, which qualifies him to handle people in challenging or emotional difficult situations with great professionalism. He is an inspiring ‘team-moderator’ and ‘team-builder.”

“Learning with Ulrich is like traveling in a comfortable and safe way, but with unexpected happenings and nice discoveries on the way. The course on advocacy skills was a real eye opener and you suddenly realize that argumentation is not about putting forward smart arguments but about reading and understanding the counter part. The goal is always to leave each other on good terms, or at least “enough good terms“, this was one of the key messages of the course I brought with me. Ulrich is an expert but so much down to earth (and sometimes very funny) that he makes it very easy to understand and put in practice his tips and pragmatic techniques, be it at the negotiation table, in the shop or when doing conflict management at home! One of the best training courses I ever joined during my career.“
Åsa Jacob, HR Assistant, European Commission, Luxemburg
“With Dr. Ulrich Friedhoff I have learnt to see my job in a different perspective, and I was very positively surprised by my first coaching experience. With his competent, to-the-point and pleasant coaching we have worked step by step central issues related to an efficient leadership – from the development of personal and professional competence, the systematic implementation and task prioritization, up to the solution of conflicts and preparation of important decisions.
His special way of bringing things to the point has helped me improve my perception and my self-reflection. I feel I am very well prepared for the next challenges.”
Markus Warasin, Head of Unit Communication Policy, Directorate General for Communication ,European Parliament
