"I worked with Zarmina for 6 months. She supported me in preparing and delivering a successful management team alignment session and uncovering the real dynamics within my team.

She helped me trigger self-reflection on my leadership style and my interactions with my team and external stakeholders, which ultimately drove performance and efficiency.

Using tools and a pragmatic approach, Zarmina provided tips throughout the process to refine and improve impact.

By the end of the process, we had identified a focused and meaningful set of priorities for action.”

"I met Zarmina during a professional crisis and, together with her, managed the transition into a new phase of my life. Her extensive life and coaching experience were a great support to me during this time. Without her help, the path would have been much more difficult."

"I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Zarmina Penner as a coach during our Team Alignment Workshop, and it was a transformative experience. Zarmina cannot only grasp team dynamics quickly but also accurately identify individual strengths and weaknesses and work on them in a targeted way. Through her professional and empathetic approach, she succeeded in sustainably improving collaboration within our team and advancing the personal development of each individual. Her support was crucial in helping us unlock our full potential, both as a team and individually. I wholeheartedly recommend Zarmina to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring partner."

"Many thanks, Zarmina, for sharing your expertise and experience. Thanks to your thorough preparation, the individual interviews with each participant, and the structured presentations, all participants were able to gain deeper insights into strategic planning and effective team building. Your openness, directness, and commitment made the discussion rounds productive and dynamic, leading to valuable individual insights for everyone involved."

"In my coaching experience with Zarmina, we identified the main points I can develop and benefit from. We based our work on my personality types and related archetypes and went through many eye-opening models that helped me in my personal and professional improvement journey. I can proudly say that I am on the right path towards a better version of me because of our productive work with Zarmina."

"Zarmina helped me as a leader and the team put things in context. It made things clear and built the foundation for meaningful decisions from then on.

We committed as a team to work within our mandate while trying to find effective in-ways towards senior management to channel in our bigger ideas. I am impressed by the efficiency and effectiveness of Zarmina's work. She has the skills for making me as a leader see things more clearly, with very little information, that I actively and regularly provide. And it never feels standard. It is very much tailored to me and my immediate concerns."

"This coaching helped me a lot in recognizing who I am, where I stand, what defines me as a person and what I need to adjust to develop myself personally and at the same time professionally. Thank you very much for the very intensive coaching."

"Zarmina has the extraordinary ability to read other people's thoughts, feelings, and inner states in a very short time. She captures all connections and sees the "big picture." From this, she draws her conclusions and has for almost any challenge and hurdles a solution in store, which participants of the process can further develop and implement for themselves."

"I was a bit skeptical when coaching sessions were proposed to me. After meeting with Zarmina and having the first two sessions, I started seeing the value of it. She connected with me through shared values and gently told me the truth about myself. It was an eye-opening exercise for me. She helped me grow as a leader and define a clear path to becoming a better version of myself. Thank you for all your continuous support."

".. infinitely grateful that you went through this time with me.
When I needed you (and I still need you), you were and are immediately there for me. You guide me through the conversations in my head, build me up, and always listen. You have "cleared my head" over and over again.
Zarmina’s competence shows empathy, reliability, and effective techniques for working on yourself."

"Zarmina is polite but determined and very aware of herself and others. She assesses objectively and factually. She is responsible and expects others to be too."

"I can recommend Zarmina to anyone in business. She has shown me understanding and openness and offered consulting on a personal level. If you have any similar concerns or unclear matters, just do it. The experience was totally worth it for me. I would not be where I am today. A big thank you."

“From the start, the basis of my professional collaboration with Zarmina was trust.
It became clear to me relatively quickly: To lead well, I have to (really!) get to know myself and be aware of my strengths and weaknesses to be able to deal with them in the best possible way as a manager (not only in theory but above all in practice).

I would describe the next phase, which followed relatively quickly, as an expansion of consciousness, which was the basis for everything that followed.
A positive change has taken place in me, which was evident to me and those around me. For me, it was highly beneficial coaching in which I experienced and learned incredibly valuable things.
Zarmina is an inspiring and empathetic personality. She has a lot of knowledge and gives important impulses at the right time. I value her very much—as a coach and as a person. I am grateful that I could have this experience with her.”
