"For several years now, Benedikt has accompanied my management teams as an inspiring speaker, but also practically as a coach and input provider on the mountain. My colleagues have always been completely enthusiastic because Benedikt manages to take people with him on his adventures at 8,000 meters above sea level and to transform his learnings into inspiration for everyday life and work. He succeeds in this especially through his enthusiasm and authenticity as well as the unique transfer from the death zone to the business world. Besides the always valuable content, what I appreciate most about Benedikt is his humble and open way of approaching and responding to every person, and I can highly recommend him!"
