WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

Katie P. - Horse trainer, Arizona USA
I met Christian in the middle of nowhere Namibia. I was not looking for a life coach, I was there to ride horses and admire the wildlife, but I had some issues I could not untangle to solve alone and paths in life of which I was not sure which ones to take. Plus my friends encouraged me as they had great success with life coaches and were probably REALLY tired of hearing about the life problems I couldn't solve.
In a few hours Christian had unwoven my seemingly complicated issues into simple itemized and tangible solutions so that I could step by step make progress into my future. Christian had me confront fears in friendships and life paths that had me holding anxiety and immobility. He rationally and explained them so I not only had solutions but also felt at peace with them.
I have gone to therapy before and I have to say this is a hell of a lot faster and still effective. I love lists so I now have an itemized to do list of three separate categories that I can easily achieve.
Christian is fantastic and so is the location which is very quiet, peaceful and safe. I am looking forward to doing Zoom sessions from time to time with him since I usually live in the United States, not the Namib desert! Cheers and thank you Christian!

If you have the feeling in life that you could miss the connection and you realize that your position no longer feels secure and firm, things are going haywire in your head and you know that there is a lot of potential there, but no matter which direction you go in, somehow it doesn't work, one thing overlaps with another, there are many directions you want to go in, but life teaches you otherwise you can't go in all directions only when you focus on one direction and move forward decisively does peace and order come into it and you manage to make what you have within you tangible and visible and you become satisfied and recognize the values you live for.
And to make this tangible, you need structure, inner strength and self-affirmation, and Christian is the right man for that.

Janina L. - Environmental geographer

The coaching helped me to refocus during a difficult time and to get a different perspective on problems. I learned simple methods to take a positive approach to challenges and gain new life energy as a result. Christian helped me to refocus through specific questions and tasks. I had a great “aha” effect during the coaching session. I would recommend such coaching to anyone who wants to change something in their life.

Daniel R.  - Entrepreneur

For me, coaching with Christian was one pillar of a whole package of measures to help me find my way out of a deep life crisis. While psychotherapy and occupational therapy helped me to come to terms with my past, coaching with Christian enabled me to focus primarily on the future. Thanks to working out my values, I can now make fundamental decisions in my life with confidence and a clear conscience that previously seemed unimaginable to me.
Christian has been instrumental in helping me to find clarity and strength for a future with a zest for life. Christian's open and sincere manner makes the entire coaching session very personal and extremely enjoyable. The elaboration of the meaning of life and the visualization were real goosebumps moments: they show you “in black and white” what lies dormant inside you. Thank you so much for your support! I can hardly wait to send you an update from my “new” life in a year or two.

Antonia F. 
Dear Christian, you accompanied me competently and compassionately over the threshold into my new life. With your help, I was able to free all the treasures hidden within me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Sebastian B. - Master carpenter & restaurateur

With his trusting and open personality, Christian very quickly creates the basis for honest discussions, which is a prerequisite for successful coaching. On the one hand, he held a mirror up to me, showing me who I am, where my strengths lie and what I still need to work on. We worked like an attacking duo, with him taking on the role of preparer. He passed the balls to me accurately, setting me up, so to speak. I then just had to convert them. This led to progress and insights in every session, which I was then always able to process and consolidate for myself. It was impressive how much energy I left the sessions with and how quickly I found myself again. I hope that we will stay in contact, even if my life no longer holds any major catastrophes in store for me. But one thing is certain: he will always be by my side mentally as I overcome any hurdles that lie ahead.

Silvy, B. - Artist/ musician


I hesitated for a long time until I finally pressed the contact button on this page. Fortunately, I dared to do so! Christian helped me through a very difficult life situation with a lot of empathy and gave me structure, strength, courage and clarity. 
As a result, I was finally able to find my purpose and make peace with it. Thank you Christian!

Arnim S. - Biochemist


The very first eye contact at the front door showed that Christian was the right person for me. He opened up a safe space for me in which we could work together in confidence. I learned to pay more attention to myself. I became aware of my personal strengths and weaknesses. I learned what exactly happens when stress occurs. During the coaching, we worked out ways and means of how I can deal with stressors better in the future. During the coaching process, I had my first positive experiences of dealing with stress more consciously. I am now more relaxed in stressful situations and deal with them more productively. The regular monthly coaching sessions have helped me to achieve my coaching goal in the long term.

Anne W. - Team leader

Through coaching with Christian, I realized that I was becoming more and more relaxed and was able to apply his advice well. It's good for me to be given simple tools that can be implemented quickly. I notice that things have become easier and I'm becoming more and more confident.

Michael R. - Consultant

The coaching with Christian Birke helped me a lot to reorganize and restructure my professional and private environment in an extremely tense situation in my life. Christian used suitable tools that quickly led to success!

Monika D. - Managing Director of the German Retail Association

It is helpful for your own development to be able to reflect on your actions in a safe space. It is really good to receive honest and constructive feedback on this. Mr. Birke does this with heart and mind. Thank you for that!

Michael H. - Team leader IT industry/ Fireman

Our sessions together, your advice and my insights regularly give me strength and show me the right path. They help me to be mindful both of myself and of my loved ones. I got exactly what I always imagined! Thank you!

Nazila A. - QM Manager

Christian's open, calm and relaxed manner made me feel seen and we had a basis of trust. Once I had my goals clear, I was able to develop a new awareness through the coaching. I learned to stand up for myself and my needs in order to stay in my power. I continue to give a lot to other people, but in the right measure for me.

Stefan M. - Investmentbanking family offices

The days were very intensive, rich in content and highly effective for me, during which I gained a clear picture and understanding of who I am, what my values and abilities are and what my strengths are. I was able to realize what my private and professional path will look like in the future. This has resulted in WOW effects that I did not and could not see for myself before. This was a unique and remarkable experience, for which I would like to thank you sincerely for your open manner and support. The “total package” of these days with their accompanying program (vitality, edge body application and especially the birch forest) made the whole thing the perfect event. Thank you very much and see you soon!

Ricarda, D. - Teacher & specialist consultant in education IT for the district government

Seeking support through coaching when you don't know what to do with your life, or to sort out the chaotic thoughts in your head and focus on your own strengths again - this has nothing to do with weakness. Quite the opposite: through intensive coaching with Christian, I have realized that it is a courageous and important step to deal with my own drivers and values and to find out what I am really passionate about.

Bernd K. - Entrepreneur in “retirement”

Christian helped me a lot to dig out, analyze and evaluate my lost thoughts and wishes in order to find my inner center after my retirement. It was very interesting and productive working together. I particularly enjoyed the winter swim in the Baltic Sea (2 minutes at 2 degrees)!

Vera V. - human resource manager

STAY 1: Every change begins with the first step. Despite my great fear of being alone and traveling alone, I dared to take these steps and went to Christian Birke for coaching. I haven't regretted this step for a moment. With Christian's help, I was able to find a new zest for life after a serious crisis and courageously take the next steps.

STAY 2: After I suffered a serious accident after the coaching with Christian last year, I had lost a little of the new zest for life I had found in the first coaching session.
As Christian had helped me so much, I thought to myself that what worked once would work a second time and my steps led me back to Kiel. With Christian's help, I found my lost zest for life again and I am very grateful that Christian offers this coaching.
He is an exceptionally compassionate person who has always found the right words and used appropriate means so that I was able to mobilize my inner strength again and regain my zest for life.

Dr. Michael K. - Dentist

Christian offers a good framework away from everyday life. With his open, calm and relaxed manner, he helped me to find solutions. My wife, children and business partners now think I am very relaxed. At least they notice an improvement in the fact that I can deal with my stress differently and “come across” as less rushed.

Regina, K. - Primary school teacher & special needs teacher

Dear Christian,
On this coaching path with you, I was able to clarify once again what is important to me in my life. As a result, I can set priorities even better, live my values and achieve my goals. Thank you very much for this.

Stephanie T. - Managing Director

During the week of coaching, I learned many new aspects about myself (including what drives me and what values are important to me), received new ways of thinking about the issues that concern me and took the first steps towards my further development.
The peace and relaxation that I experienced in the hotel and especially during the mediation was also supportive. Swimming in the beautiful pool and the great wellness treatments helped me to find inner peace.

Sonja A. - Eagle eye

Looking into the distance, sharpening your eyes for the essentials and discovering new things in silence.
Namibia and coaching - a combination that allows you to develop both inside and out. Unlimited adventure. My highlight was the baby rhino.

Kevin G. - Site manager

I have experienced freedom. You have to have experienced it. By changing my perspective, I gained an overview of my life. I have aligned myself to tackle new things. Out of the calm, I now start clearly with new energy and vitality. When I am down at some point, I will remember this.

Andrea L. - Team leader

It was a breathtaking adventure. I have experienced how resilient I am, how much strength I have. I now know that I can cope with the daily chaos, because I know I can do this - then I can do everything else! Other things are unimportant - I've managed this and had a lot of fun doing it!

Dr. Friedrich Reinhard
Managing Director Kuzikus Wildlife Reserve & Lodge

We had reached a point where we had achieved a great deal and it was time to rethink and restructure our company. After first asking myself why we needed a coach, I can now recommend this to everyone after working with Christian. Christian has the gift of always getting the best out of you and strengthening the community of us as entrepreneurs and team. We reflected together on what we have already achieved and what we do on a day-to-day basis. Building on this, we clearly worked out and formulated the values we live by. We have sharpened our vision and mission and broken down specifically how we will achieve our vision. Our new mission statement is now the basis for exciting new projects. Christian's pleasant manner made the work a lot of fun and we learned a lot. We look forward to seeing Christian next year and can recommend his work to everyone.

Peer Gent -Founder & Chairman of Sternenbrücke Children's Hospice Hamburg

In this intensive workshop, we gained a new awareness of our own values and an understanding of the values of others in the team. Christian's facilitation created a focused, goal-oriented and solution-oriented working environment. We have developed a common mission statement at eye level with employees from all areas of our company. The mission statement, consisting of vision, mission and values, forms the basis for our actions and daily work. The joint workshop helped us to grow closer together as a team. An important workshop to recommend for every company. Christian will accompany us in our further work on values.

Berend Reinhard - Managing Director Kuzikus Wildlife Reserve & Lodge

Thanks to the intensive coaching with Christian, we were able to identify and eliminate our time wasters. Together we clearly formulated our vision, our mission and the values we live by. Christian's open, forward-thinking approach ensures that you are challenged to find new opportunities and solutions. The result: stronger teamwork and more commercial success. Working with Christian is a lot of fun and is definitely recommended to everyone. I look forward to seeing Christian next year.

Amerson G. - Sales Manager Automotive

Christian's coaching has a great mix of information and practical exercises. The integration of the coaching sessions with nature is very valuable and helps to engage in this coaching in a well-grounded way. The work with the persolog behavioral profile is very enriching. Thank you very much.

Sonja A. - Board of Directors & Management of Sternenbrücke Children's Hospice

Christian is a very open and positive communicator. He is very appreciative and gives very good support in assessing his colleagues and understanding their behavior better. The location, the food and the activities in nature are a great basis for this workshop by Christian. I am delighted that Christian is accompanying us in our values work.
