8. TESTIMONIALS
Gerrit Mauch, Head of HR Development at Accor Germany (until 01/2011)
“At Accor we highly appreciate the professional development and training of
our people. In this sense the Académie Accor Germany only cooperates with
partners who can convince us of their high quality and pedagogical standards.
Additionally, the specific learning habits of our employees as part of the
service industry require an attractive and innovative didactic approach. Florian
Mueck guarantees this with his vivid personality and his profound expertise
based on 'The Seven Minute Star' method.”
Michael Kalkowski, Co-founder and Creative Director at GameDuell, Berlin
“Normally I don‘t like those rhetorical seminars too much: mediocre content
presented by trainers who should participate themselves. The Seven Minute
Star Seminar is totally different. Florian is a natural talent with a lot of
practical experience. He conveys the success factors of great rhetoric in a
tangible and instantly applicable framework – put into action in numerous
exercises right away. My summary: Extreme learning factor in an extremely
entertaining atmosphere. Very recommendable!”
Ralf Beunker, Member of the Banking Leadership Team, KPMG Europe LLP
“With his motivating and engaging style Florian triggered a ‘movement’ among
our team - now they are all committed to being better communicators. A
convincing concept.”
10. “The love for what one does,
the love to create, the attitude
towards individuality - Florian
Mueck has proven these
qualities. Many thanks for a
perfectly trained and motivated
team! Where rhetoric and
teambuilding are concerned -
this is our understanding of the
pursuit of perfection.”
