„Just a short presentation, and Ms. Bendel summarized in four words what has been bothering me for two years but I could never articulate. With precision and ruthlessness, Ms. Bendel pushed me out of my comfort zone and supported me in expanding it. Today, I address issues directly and handle conflicts I would have avoided in the past. She has motivated me so much that I continue to work on myself – and enjoy it. My team appreciates it, and I thank Ms. Bendel. If I ever hit a setback again, I will definitely turn to her.” 

„I met Ms. Bendel during an 8-day leadership and communication coaching program. I was very impressed by her calm and highly competent approach. Even with difficult topics and emotional discussions, she always maintained the ‚red thread.‘ She is able to quickly understand the specific requirements and circumstances of each participant and always finds a solution, even for seemingly stuck issues. The sessions were practical, well-structured, and always allowed room for individual topics. Anyone who attends coaching with Ms. Bendel has made the right decision and will not regret it.“  

„Barbara Bendel was the lecturer for the regional startup seminar I attended at the beginning of my self-employment journey. My first impression of her was that she is an experienced and diligent businesswoman who works in a clear, structured, and efficient manner. At the same time, she is empathetic and understanding. This quickly and sustainably proved to be true. Through her input, I began to turn my visions into realistic goals. Later, Barbara continued to support me intensively during the „IBM“ grant phase, assisting me with the creation of a solid business plan. In this one-on-one contact, I experienced her mentioned qualities even more. Thanks to her support, I developed a customer-oriented and business-savvy mindset, laying the foundation for a successful company. She also made me realize that this is a longer process, that not everything will work out immediately, and that this is completely normal in the beginning. Nevertheless, from meeting to meeting, I grew more and more into an entrepreneurial personality. Barbara regularly gave me feedback on these and many other progressions, encouraging me during moments when my doubts were high.

What stood out particularly in our collaboration was that we are both yoga instructors, and thus a mindful and appreciative attitude brought a coherent understanding to our work. Barbara was understanding of my specific needs as a nearly blind young entrepreneur, and she showed great patience and openness in adapting aspects visually in a way that was more accessible for me.

Barbara was, at the right moment, a goal-oriented consultant with expertise, an open and curious coach, and a compassionate, gentle yoga teacher.

For those who want to grow beyond themselves, focus on achieving their goals, and wish to maintain a focus on personal well-being, I highly recommend working with Barbara Bendel.“

„The Uniqueness process by Barbara

I have taken part in the Uniqueness process, a session of Sri Sri Yoga teacher training programme, at the end of November 2019. I have thoroughly enjoyed the way Barbara conducted the process and I found it extremely useful. 

At the outset, Barbara clearly explained benefits of being aware of one’s own uniqueness and then she skillfully guided us to identify our unique qualities as future yoga teachers. She shared her own uniqueness though personal anecdotes, provided examples of others’ unique qualities and accompanied each one of us with specific questions to facilitate focusing on what matters. She made the process fun and made me feel comfortable and encouraged to dig deeper. 

 I consider the results I reached through the process true gems to treasure and use beyond a yoga studio. Having pinpointed in a few simple sentences the qualities that make me authentic and exceptional, I feel more complete and at ease in our competitive world. 

I am very happy to have had a chance to join the Uniqueness process with Barbara and I hope to have a chance to join her trainings in the near future.“

„Barbara Bendel is able to quickly empathize with the reality of the person she is working with and think from their perspective. She senses the necessary priorities and organizes them in a way that brings clarity to an overwhelming situation, pointing out new paths. I can definitely recommend her coaching.“
