RESULTS

"Anne Litwin shows excellent empathy for people from different cultural backgrounds, with particular expertise in Asian culture and gender culture. Anne adjusts quickly to the needs of a group, and has excellent facilitation skills in a process-oriented, multi-cultural environment."
Juergen Schoepke, Training Manager, Siemens AG

"The phrase 'life changing' is rarely appropriate in describing an event, however attending the Leadership Competence Training (LCT) truly was. Anne and her partner developed the training to improve cross-cultural communication, self-awareness (MBTI), stress management, team leadership, and one's ability to give and receive feedback. It was comprised of two one-week sessions and held in a secluded Bavarian town to minimize external distractions. The self-managed learning was innovative and re-enforced the keys to structuring effective teams; for example, the participants began the session as an unstructured team responsible for developing the agenda and as you can imagine the attempts at consensus were painful. Even now, two years later, I reflect on the training often. Thanks."
David Rymarz, Manager, Siemens

"Our work with Anne was vital to our health as a group practice. Her followups have further strengthened our group's ability to stay on course toward vitality and growth. Anne's wisdom lies not just in her knowledge and experience, but in her gentle, intelligent way of infusing a group with positive energy. Thanks to her, we've developed both a willingness to acknowledge strengths and weaknesses and the courage to pursue our goals."
