Klaus Fischer
SENIOR CONSULTANT, TRAINER, COACH
After studying history and political science, I completed a commercial apprenticeship in publishing. I then worked in various publishing houses’ sales and marketing departments, ultimately in management positions, before moving from my source profession to personnel development in 2001. Since then, I have worked as an independent trainer and coach, focusing on management and service development.
I have been working for Coverdale since 2014. Since 2017 I have been a partner of Coverdale Austria.
Privately, I spend my leisure time passionately with my wife on the golf course. I appreciate the Austrian cuisine and its wines, especially from Southern Styria, and after dinner, I enjoy a good cigar. Recently, I have rediscovered the musical instruments of my youth: the piano and the flute.
Quotation
“Learning is experience. Everything else is simply information.”
(Albert Einstein)
My Approach
I believe that people can develop enormously in a short period of time if only given the opportunity. Through experiential learning, I support my participants to reflect on their leadership and collaboration skills and take a next development step.
