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