Over the past two years, our collaboration with Iris on personal and team coaching has been incredibly close and fruitful. Her attentive listening, keen observation of our needs, and dedicated work with the team have fostered strong commitments to drive both change and growth. Iris is not just a coach; she possesses a profound understanding of business, advocates for agile methodologies, and above all, she is a remarkable and compassionate woman with a big heart.

Iris lead and consulted me related to the introduction of agile Teams. With her energy, charisma and self-confidence and supporting changes, she helped me and our teams to gain advantages. She drove new developments and gave our colleagues a voice who wanted to further improve our way of working. With Iris on the side, we realized ideas and our teams as well as our clients perceive real enhancements. And all happened during months! Iris taught me to think in a solution and customer oriented way and to integrate this mindset in my daily work and thinking. It is not the Ego which is important, but the fun factor and the respectful collaboration on an eye-to-eye level. As well to accept boundaries of resource capabilities and performance and act calm, this is what I have learned from her. I am looking forward to our future co-creation and hope soon toe able to witness her experience and crystal clear mindset.

Experiencing Iris as Coach and Mentor is very enriching for my business and for my personal development in general.

During the last 1 ¼ years, since Iris conduct me, I have learned to observe Teams and their Players, how they play together, what they need to become efficient, and generate customer value with fun. How to support Teams on their way towards an agile mindset and growth mindset. Each singe intensive even though challenging mentor session brought me a step further.

Iris helps me with her questions to develop solutions for my teams, to grow beyond my boundaries to articulate my doubts and to act on behalf of creating customer value even against my nature.

Doubts and uncertainties appeared on a regular basis. Am I able to realize this, is this the best way forward …. And whenever I had the Courage and the required trust (strengthened by Iris), to go this (new/alternative) way, the results affirmed that this way was right.

The enthusiasm with which Iris conveys her experiences and knowledge is extremely inspiring and catching! Thank you so much, Iris, for this valuable support!

Iris and I worked together in two projects, experimenting with agile methods in planning and documentation areas.

Iris brought a wealth of experience and excellent coaching skills to the activities and helped me and my teams to some excellent results. In particular, Iris guided us skillfully to take on new roles, leave our well-trodden paths and cover new ground. Her ability is not to force change or spell out what to do, but rather to give the team the concepts and tools to themselves take responsibility for change, thereby taking ownership of the results.

I look forward to working with Iris again.

I wanted to tell you that I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done. 1. To believe in myself and not be affected by external factors or behavior of other people. 2. To have more hobbies and spend time on things I like. 3. To tell a colleague to stop directly if he/she say something weird.  You were indeed our very best colleague. You have set the bar very high for other coaches and I feel that they won’t be able to match your level.

The idea sounded promising, to coach employees instead of giving trainings. The preparation was extremely professional and the cooperation with the employees humanly and target oriented. Our employees could additionally take a personal benefit. The combination of a professional coach and a styling consultant, with a huge background experience from the retail area and is aware of a lack of employees motivation, is impressive.

I highly recommend Iris to support any transformation program, especially when it comes to teams going through professional storms putting stress into work and life balance.
Iris utilises a specially tailored methodology that is supported in a wealth of experience in her field, personal communication, total honesty, transparency and tools  that help the team members recognise the current challenging situations and work their way out to the best possible scenario.
In my experience working with Iris, I have seen teams  members part of the “Be more” program, overcoming challenging situations and achieving the next level of mind-set growth. Not only results have been proven valuable but also have enabled me and my team to be prepared for future challenges, especially where the delivery pressure can sometime be too much.

I had the privilege of working with Iris on a Business Process Consulting assignment relating to the Network Operations in a newly merged telecomms environment.

The merger introduced new technologies and at the same time required a more simplified and effective approach to realise the expected business benefits of the new operation which included a goal to achieve market leading network performance.

Iris whilst already possessing good understanding of the likely outcome took time to gain a more detailed appreciation of the situation. This she did this by taking into account overall business needs, current operations set-up and challenges down to the needs of teams and individuals.

It was her consultative approach combined with emotional and clear analytical intelligence that achieved a win-win outcome at all levels in a potentially conflicting environment.

Highly recommended approach and attitude and intelligence.

With her excellent social skills she really helped the team to improve and perform from good to great.

My personal experience with trainings on social skills is that it is difficult to transfer what you learned in the training to your day to day work. The coaching approach of Iris overcomes this disadvantage by doing the training integrated in the daily work environment and therefore launching a continuous improvement. What makes Iris so special is the combination of her in depth knowledge of the Telco industry combined with her substantial experience in coaching.

The strength of Iris is the in Inlife Coaching in communication and process skills to increase the effort of the teams and individual colleagues. Iris is doing the coaching inside the organization with real problems in the day-to-day business. I saw a huge difference to traditional management trainings, because it's reality. I had some management trainings in the past, but the big disadvantage was always the"'virtual" examples of the daily business. Iris is challenging the participants in mindset, behavior and self-reflection. It was great to observe the change of the individuals during the coaching program. I personally learned to see the "world" from different perspectives (political, technical, financial,...) to get a better understanding of complex dependencies. The result of the program are more open minded and well connected colleagues in the complete organization, especially during the merge situation with a lot of changes in a short time.

Many thanks for supporting my department over the last 2,5 years! Below please see my appraisal to you!
Iris worked with us from April 2012 to November 2014 mainly as Program Manager and as Coach for Project Managers and Teams. I very appreciate her congenialness, her empathy and her communication skills, parallel with her sharp intellect, which together are the basis for her ability to create an atmosphere of openness, trust, and which is focused on performance and target achieving, even under difficult circumstances. This abilities helped her to support us in optimizing our rollout delivery with even target overachievement, in developing a process transformation strategy with enterprise evaluation results, and above all in stabilizing several projects as e.g. the speed up ordering project, which is key for target achievement.
Particularly I very much appreciate her always pleasant way to pro-actively and permanently push us and remember us to take action.
Me and my project managers and colleagues liked working with her very much, and we would be glad to win her again to support us as well for forthcoming challenging projects!
