Carsten Waider

Consultant

During my education, my trainer took me climbing in the mountains for the first time. Challenging myself, planning carefully, being ready to face changing situations and relying on my climbing partner fascinated me and I haven’t forgotten this experience since.

Today, helping people master challenging situations is part of my job. In the process, it helps to remember that fear and curiosity are core emotions that we humans experience when the need to develop makes itself known.

What others say about Carsten Waider

“When it comes to visualization and flip chart design, Carsten’s motto is: bigger, quicker, better!” – Paolina Virga

“Carsten’s precision in formulating what he wants to say and distinguishing between important and unimportant things means he is always a very valuable member of the team. His friendly approachability when contacting participants and colleagues ranges from spiritual profundity to childlike playfulness. This alone makes every minute with him very pleasant. However, it is also worth noting that when you are in Carsten’s vicinity, all culinary questions rarely remain unanswered for long.&rdquo – Lucas Lossen
