"I worked closely with Ms Penner in an intensive, trusting, targeted, and unconventional manner. She often led me to enlightening moments with her empathetic yet opinionated manner. A coach who inspires and motivates."

"Zarmina has a rare gift — the blend of a caring and empathetic spirit, deep knowledge and insights, and (most exceptionally) the ability to communicate with every individual she coaches on a deeply personal level. My conversations with Zarmina felt as if I were talking to a friend I’d known for years - but they also challenged and inspired me in a way that no other coaching discussion ever has. Her big heart shines through in every piece of advice she gives and every insight she offers. Truly outstanding!!"

I was lucky to meet Zarmina during professional coaching. I appreciate her broad expertise, which has led to individual solutions. I thank Zarmina for the enriching cooperation.

Johannes Schütz

"Until I did the crash coaching with Dr Zarmina Penner, I was firmly convinced, I believed rock-solid, that my search for the true self could only be an odyssey. A journey that I started a long time ago and still has a long way to go and still lies ahead of me. I knew what it meant to be patient and disciplined. Gradually, I felt the high price of the long-lasting search for the route to the longed-for ‘Ithaca’, namely a loss of energy.


From the very first meeting, she was able to explain in straightforward terms how ‘self-awareness’ can consciously be achieved. She gave me a structure that provided lasting clarity of thought and peace. By the third session, I could report on my ‘AHA’ moment, which resulted from having organized the multi-layered chaos in my head for a long time. I thought out loud, as Ulysses must have done after passing through the Sirens' channel. Relieved and free. Now, the way was clear to focus my concentration on my heart's desires. At the last meeting, I was given the key to deciphering the coordinate system of my personal ‘globe’. With a newly aligned compass and energy, I am now on my way to ‘Ithaca’, hopeful and confident that ‘land will soon be in sight’.


For those who read my review, I would like to let you know that it is the first I have written. I want to express my gratitude to a remarkable woman, coach, and human being. Her approach is a mixture of professional expertise, well-founded knowledge, empathic thinking, and joy of life and heart. She is infectious and motivating. I recommend her with the greatest pleasure. Thank you very much!"

Alina Papagiannaki-Sönmez

"Pure professionalism...
In the past few weeks, I have completed a personal coaching program for executives with Zarmina. I am particularly impressed by the pleasant manner, the in-depth expertise, and the detailed preparation for each meeting.Thanks to Zarmina, I have gained new perspectives and approaches and have had initial experiences on a higherlevel. These have had a direct positive influence on my professional and private life.
At this point, I would like to thank you for the great and trusting cooperation. I would give six stars if possible, but unfortunately, it has to remain at five and a clear recommendation."

Best regards from Mecklenburg

"Ich durfte Zarmina im Rahmen diverser Firmen-Projekte kennenlernen. Sie konnte uns in kürzester Zeit mit ihrer fachlichen sowie menschlichen Expertise helfen, ein umfangreiches Change-Management Projekt, die dazugehörige Teamaufstellung, die tägliche Arbeit sowie unsere Kultur, so zu gestalten, dass es uns nachhaltig weiterbringt. Auch 2 Jahre nach Beginn es Projektes nutzen wir ihre vorgeschlagene Teamstruktur im täglichen Business und haben durch ihren Input viele zwischenmenschliche Themen aus dem Weg räumen können. Ich schätze Zarmina als Sparring Partner, Mentorin sowie Menschen und kann jedem empfehlen, mit ihr zu arbeiten. Sie hat mir privat wie auch beruflich neue Ebenen aufgezeigt! Danke dir dafür und liebe Grüße aus Wiesbaden, Kim"

As a result of our work together, various interpersonal issues in the team have been resolved, and I can now move forward to my full potential. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Female Manager, Beauty Industry, 45

"Originating from an inclusion and diversity project, Zarmina has been with me for around two years. There were many things that I wasn't aware of before that they exist and that they influence teams and the business so much. Zarmina combines the knowledge of how organizations work perfectly with the knowledge about people. Thanks to her, I now have the tools to react in the right moment and identify good and bad behavior correctly. The mirror that Zarmina holds in front of me helps me, in particular, to see what drives me and what I stand for. I feel I have developed professionally, and there is still a lot to do."

Female Client, 37

"Zarmina has always been a great inspiration to me. Her clear view of people, things, and situations, as well as her direct and constructive feedback, brings you back down to earth. She has a great sense of people and, besides her expertise, never loses sight of the individual subtleties of her counterpart."

Female Client, 43

"Zarmina is very professional, dedicated to her work, and always gives her best. She is very easy to talk to and never judgmental. I had a very good time working with her, and she helped me learn a lot about myself. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get the best out of themselves."

Male Student, 22

"Zarmina is absolutely authentic and very professional. The variety of the used and proven methodology has brought a lot of clarity to me. I learned a lot about myself during that time."

Female Client, 33

"Zarmina is a life coach who has helped me answer many questions.
We worked together on my issues in just a few weeks, and she helped me understand a lot about myself.
Thanks to this work, I have gained a clearer view of myself and have been able to make better decisions (professional and private) in retrospect.
I would recommend anyone who wants to reflect on themselves and understand themselves better to work with Zarmina."

"Zarmina impressed with high quality support and professional mentoring in difficult team situations. She has a very good reading of human behaviors and emotional settings. Besides her professionalism I very much appreciate her warm and open-minded personality, which enables quick connections and a reliable cooperation. Thanks Zarmina!"

Female Client, 47

"I felt lost in my career, not sure what the next steps should be, not even sure which direction to go. I was also looking for more meaning in my life and wanted to find a way to combine job + me-time + meaning. Zarmina helped me figure out what to focus on, where I was, and what would make sense next.

It has helped me clear my mind and gain a deeper understanding of the decisions I have made in the past and the decisions I might make in the future after realizing where my strengths actually lie."

Female Client, 31

"Zarmina is a great person. Very professional, analytical, but at the same time, compassionate. She can read people very well, grasp the situation at lightning speed, and give you constructive food for thought in her calm and objective way, enabling you to help yourself."

Female Client, 37

"I went through a couple of coaching experiences in the past, but Zarmina helped me to understand some of my behaviors better and change those. It was just like switching light in a dark room. During this process, she combines her special sensing skills with scientific background (psychology, etc.). Working with Zarmina was for me the most inspiring experience in the last year."

Male Client, 49

"Ich habe mit Dr. Zarmina Penner's Personal Coaching sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht und zehre noch heute von den Dingen, die ich über mich gelernt habe, sowohl im beruflichen als auch im persönlichen Kontext. Besonders schätze ich die Flexibilität des Coachings, das es einem ermöglicht selbst zu bestimmen, wie persönlich oder sachlich man es gestalten möchte. Zarmina hat ein sehr gutes Menschengefühl und ich war beeindruckt wie treffsicher ihre Analysen waren. Ich kann ihr Coaching wärmstens empfehlen."
