At the time I hired Herma Schmitz, my company had recently gone through a major round of redundancies following the technical failure of our first product. At the time the team was facing severe difficulties as stress, individual personal concerns and the mental withdrawal of key individuals took place. With hindsight I can see that the team's likely future was to dissolve within a short time.

"Following the coaching the reverse has happened.... This is a remarkable feat. The team is motivated and engages collectively head-on with all situations. The level of honesty, teamwork and communication has transformed. The outcome has been strong techical progress with at least one major world leading scientific result.... The work we did with Herma was a significant contributing factor to the change in our fortunes.
