More success in interactive online communication

Sprint & Marathon: We deliberately chose the world of sports. It’s all about practice and perseverance. It’s about commitment and excellence.

Bearing in mind the increasing amount of online communication in working reality, all these are qualities we need more than ever today.

This is why the online academy wants to provide training opportunities:

Z

Sprint is for increasing both short-term digital, didactic and methodical competences related to rewarding online communication.

Z

Marathon is for long-term process-oriented support on the way to more knowledge and competence in the virtual space.

Both are aimed at online communication success through good conception and planning, the right technical and creative tools, target-oriented facilitation and appropriate methods.

Online Academy

The virtual training world works with technology and tools. It comes alive and becomes valuable through the people it connects.

Establishing target-oriented and lively communication in the virtual space and making it translatable for use – that’s what our trainings are about.

About us

Dr. Melanie Maier

Co-founder, consultant and coach

As an experienced HR leader and organizational consultant, I rely not only on empathy and judgment, but above all on professional competence. I am convinced that the virtual possibilities of communication present more opportunities than obstacles, if they focus on the human being rather than the technology used.

In my doctoral thesis I have dealt with online coaching and developed practice-oriented approaches for working in the virtual world. My work focuses on process consulting for change issues and the development of leadership and communication skills in face-to-face settings as well as in the online environment.

Volker Moser

Expert in entrepreneurship and intercultural communication

As a passionate entrepreneur and business angel, my interest lies in the combination of new business models and their acting personalities. Since my first entrepreneurial projects in 2008 as a co-founder, I have been shaped above all by the experience of a broad spectrum of industries, countries and the people involved from different backgrounds. Through everyday collaboration with a variety of countries, I became well aware of the importance of virtual work and online communication with colleagues and customers at an early stage and thus turned this into a fundamental part of the team setups in my projects.

Providing intercultural advice and coaching to professionals and executives in their collaboration as a team or with regard to their individual objectives, or contributing my experience as an entrepreneur – that’s exactly what I am passionate about. Online or on-site.

I am certified as an Online Coach (OCL) and consult in English, German and Romanian.

Susanne Plassmann

Expert in presentation and storytelling, moderator for stage and events

I work as an executive coach, camera and presentation trainer and moderator for over 20 years now. Amongst others I lead online and offline presentation workshops, speaker and stage trainings, storytelling seminars, executive coachings and workshops for team building with theatre methods and techniques e.g. for the European Patent Office, BMW, Mercedes, Burda, Giesecke & Devrient.

I hold an acting diploma from the Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding in Munich. After my years in Munich I went to take a Master degree from the Acting Program at Brooklyn College, New York.

I took various Training Courses for coaching and presentation, e.g. with Arnold Mindell (process oriented psychology), at the Milton-Erickson Institute, Berlin and the Moreno Institute Stuttgart for Psychodrama.
