Let Them Do the Talking: Testimonials Speak Louder Than Our Pitch!

„Hoov’s innovative coaching approach truly impressed us. Stepping out of the usual office environment allowed for valuable shifts in perspective, fostering deeper team collaboration and self-awareness. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants shows the effectiveness of this unique method. We’re already looking forward to future collaboration to elevate team performance and engagement.“

Tharaniya Thavachelvam – HR People-Manager, Detecon AG

„I wholeheartedly recommend horse-based coaching with Hoov. My goal was to explore professional options beyond my coaching business, and the horse mirrored my subconscious preferences with remarkable precision, providing immense clarity. This no-nonsense method cuts straight to the heart of the matter. Theresa creates a safe, supportive environment for personal development. Working with her and her horse has been immensely rewarding."

 

Heidi Hauer – Leadership Coach

„My individual coaching confirmed what I already knew from numerous training sessions. However, the session in nature with the horse, Theresa, and Sabrina provided the push I needed to take the next step and believe in myself and my abilities. I look forward to their support as I transition into my new professional role."

 

Adrian Cabo – Head of Human Ressources

„Initially, I was skeptical, since as a department chair, I don't typically assume the traditional leadership role. However, my Hoov session has demonstrated to me that each of us possesses these qualities and highlighted the importance of effective and mindful leadership in an academic setting."

 

Dr. Florian Weigert – Prof. of Financial Risk Management

„I arrived with a clear question, feeling tense about performing well. Yet, interacting with the horse allowed me to shed that tension and be authentic. It was an insightful session; now I know where to focus to become the leader I aspire to be for my team."
