Ursula Sanio, Head of Management Training Germany, Mercedes-Benz Global Training
"ICO possesses powerful images and models to make the demands of future leadership manageable between self-efficacy and risk management."
Gertrud Grießer, Deputy Board Member, Kreissparkasse Augsburg
"ICO ImpulseConsult is ahead of its time when it comes to modern leadership. Topics discussed as future issues at universities are already being implemented with ICO. Our joint project 'Successfully Mastering Innovation and Change' is progressing very well and in excellent cooperation."
Werner Weber, Siemens Transportation Systems
Dear Peter and ICO Team, qualifying for New York Metro (City Subway) is a huge challenge even for a renowned company like Siemens. Thanks to your support, we were able to 'crack' the 'tough nut' of the New York Subway and thus gain access to the US market. THANK YOU for 2 intensive years of change management support for successful prototyping.
Tobias Moser, Siemens Healthcare GmbH – Siemens Healthcare Consulting
"Dear ICO team, dear members of the national whitewater team, the day we spent together at the Olympic Canal in Augsburg was great fun for the team. The event offered exciting experiences for all participants. Peter Tümmers' mental training lecture as co-national coach was captivating and full of 'aha' moments. The national team's training and the tour of the Olympic course provided an insightful start to the day. During the subsequent practical experiences in the ice channel, both as swimmers and in the boats, participants were able to recognize their own limits and learn to rely on the help & support of others. Thank you very much for organizing and executing this outstanding team event!" Your Tobias Moser
Dr. Sascha Groh, Head of IT Cross-Section Department, Versicherungskammer Bayern
"Thanks to ICO, we were able to achieve the 'Digital Transformation' milestone and generate significant results in a short time. We are proud that the teamers and leaders in particular were so committed and willing to engage in open dialogue across hierarchies – even constructively controversial. Without our transformation with the ICO tools, we certainly would not be so well prepared for the upcoming challenges."
Sven Möller, Sales Manager, Mercedes-Benz Sales Germany
"In my daily work, points like 'the crisis leader' or the charisma principles really help me. But also the model with unconscious incompetence or competence supports me in better understanding my partners and thus guiding them better. The focus map hangs framed above my desk, as I use it to structure my appointments to go into discussions more prepared regarding the redesign of our sales system."
Claudia Hofmann, HR, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants
"Since 2004 your trainers teach our international junior consultants in symetrical leadership and cooporation. We thank you for your ability of bringing together so many different cultures in common goals."
Andreas Schmid, Sales Director Truck Sales Division South, Daimler Truck AG
"Preparation and support of individual groups (sales areas, executives) for stress situations. You provided explanations on separating topics that are influenceable from uninfluenceable facts, examples of personal resilience were discussed, including recognizing psychological and physical stress factors (self-analysis): How do I recognize my stress level and how do I adapt to it? Recommendations for individual behavioral measures and techniques, up to adjustments of inner attitude and personal planning, were conveyed skillfully and intelligently. Peter Tümmers von Schoenebeck explained competently and vividly, using examples from sports, how we can control ourselves and keep our personal 'energy tank' filled in the long term. The bridge to the professional situation and the optimization of our appearance towards our customers was always built. The effects on the team and company-specific necessities were also integrated."
Winfried Sorg, Sales Manager Truck Augsburg/Munich, Daimler Truck AG
"Staying stable in a crisis and being an optimistic advisor for both customers and employees. How do you do that when you yourself are under extreme pressure? One way to find the answer would be: Ask ICO! Peter Tümmers von Schoenebeck explains competently, vividly, and entertainingly how we can control ourselves and how body and psyche work together. Both how we become immune to short-term stress and how we can keep our personal energy tank filled in the long term."
Marc Huhle, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Autohaus Schoppmann
"The VC Leadership / Crisis Empowerment has elevated my competence as a managing director to a new level. Through the methodical approach, I am much more in control of the situation and connect better with my employees. Confidence has increased, and we are pulling together more effectively. The new overview brings calm to the system. Particularly valuable, however – and what makes the difference – is the systematic guidance in the small group coaching sessions. Through the guidance with methodical implementation, we can now support each other much more specifically and provide feedback. I feel significantly less alone with my problems – and thus more self-assured. Thank you for adapting so quickly to the crisis with your concept as our coaches. That is not a given. I look forward to the next round with you!"
Knut Brüns, Director Asset Management, Daimler AG
"The logical connection of success recipes in extreme sports with the goal-oriented management of opportunities and risks in everyday professional life is fascinating. Peter Tümmers v. Schoenebeck demonstrates very vividly and originally how positive energies for change processes can be released and used sustainably. He captivated our demanding group of executives, skillfully guided them through wild waters, and then – equipped with many valuable suggestions and insights – set them down safely on shore again. No Risk - Much Fun!"
Michael Amthor, Training Manager, ALTANA Pharma
"Boundaries are expanded – emotionally and exciting! Every year again! That's why ICO and ALTANA Pharma share a long-standing partnership."
Byron West, Retail Marketing, Audi AG
"Thanks to the excellent ICO support, we achieved a strengthening of team spirit and self-confidence. The workshop was a super success."
Christian Hildebrand, former Vice President & Managing Director, IBM
"The training far exceeded my personal expectations and those already set high by my team."
Dr. Roland Komes, Customer Relations Team for the Board, Daimler AG
"Dear Peter, your seminar had a profound impact that I did not expect... Suddenly, Platonic ideas, the theories of knowledge and perception by Kant, Sartre, Husserl, to name just a few, are once again central to my life. So thank you, the days were (and continue to be) a great experience, and the implementation of the results is a daily success!"
Patrick Molck-Ude, Director of Global IBM/SAP Alliance, IBM
"An ideal combination of rapid insight processes in the outdoor area, which can be optimally reflected in the indoor part and have a strong sustainable effect, as information is conveyed with movement and fun. After nine seminars with ICO with different teams and on different topics, I have not stopped discovering new things!"
Martin Köpke, Head of Business Unit Information, Materna
"For over 2 years, we have been successfully working with you in the analysis & development of leadership structures and leaders. Your workshops and coaching sessions are always aligned with our strategic goals. The secret to success always lies in the very successful combination of well-founded management methods and psychological models – enriched with many tips and examples from 'real life'. Your particular strength lies in clearly recognizing & analyzing situations and characters, as well as in the spontaneous implementation of these insights. You and your team enjoy a high level of trust among our employees and leaders, and I would be delighted if we could continue our collaboration so successfully in the future."
Daimler Truck AG – Andreas Schmid, Sales Director Truck Sales Division South

Dr. Christian Fill, Managing Director, Burda Creative Group GmbH
"This was by far the best seminar series I have experienced in my professional life. Unusual teaching and learning methods help to transfer what was learned in the seminar world into the rough reality of everyday life. I was able to apply some things immediately – in strategy development, planning, and dealing with my employees."
Prof. Dr. Roland Erben, Board Member, RMA RiskManagement Association e.V.
"When it comes to risk management, many companies still focus too much on technical aspects. Through Peter Tümmers' lecture, I learned about the importance of the 'human factor' and concrete possibilities for control. This helps me to guide myself and others to higher decision-making competence in difficult situations. The vivid examples and images from top-level sports were very comprehensible for us managers. That will stick."
Klaus-Gerhart Wolpert, Head of Development Porsche Cayenne, Porsche AG
"From successful innovation to successful series production – Thanks to the ICO team for your consistent and clever guidance."
Roland Jeckle, Head of HR Sparkasse Oberland, Sparkasse
"We now have a consistent formulation and employee-friendly communication of vision, mission statement, and corporate strategy down to the individual goals of each employee. Another result is the redesign of leadership structures and their integration into the excellence process. We experience the collaboration with ICO as fruitful, goal-oriented, and results-driven. We particularly appreciate the independent freshness with which even seemingly uncomfortable questions for those responsible are addressed and brought to a solution."
Peter Munk, HR/Organizational Development, Deutsche Telekom AG
"ICO conveys new leadership methods for 'integrative One Company processes' that are unparalleled in their modernity and concreteness."
Hans Schmid, Competition Officer Ski Jumping/Nordic Combined, German Ski Association
"Dear ICO team, your team and mental training for the DSV talent scouting camp was a complete success. The coaches presented the psychological models in a child-friendly and engaging way. The benefits were immediately apparent, and the children were enthusiastic. The kids learned that in addition to competition, social competence and teamwork are important building blocks for success. The successes of the training in the Skywalk Park are obvious. I would like to thank the ICO team warmly and look forward to further cooperation with you."
Lars Walter, Whitewater Downhill World Champion, Whitewater National Team
"Physical fitness alone does not make a world champion! Without Peter Tümmers' comprehensive mental support, this achievement would not have been possible. The combination of physical strength and mental clarity is the key to success."
Gregor Simon, National Canoe Coach & 5-time World Champion, Whitewater National Team
"Peter Tümmers' mental training helped me a lot during my active career: in sports and in other aspects of life. Today, I appreciate being his coaching colleague."

The event was a complete success in every respect, was great fun for everyone involved, and was thoroughly well organized!

Thank you very much and see you next time."

Edith Krieg, Marketing Manager HP Software
"Dear ICO team, the team kickoff... was a highlight for the new HP Software Germany team. Expectations were met in every respect, sometimes even exceeded. The result in one sentence... It is ONE expedition on the way to the summit. I would like to thank you... for the respectful, uncomplicated, and trusting cooperation. I hope that another opportunity will arise in the future to realize a project together with ICO."
Ulrich Jacke & Morton Hahn, Dr. Lübke GmbH
"Already in our first conversation, we had the feeling that you and your team were the right partners for us [...] You immediately understood what we wanted to achieve with our company tour and organized a program for 80 employees that completely thrilled every one of us [...] Especially the combination of knowledge transfer, team competitions, and canyon courage test made the whole thing so varied and exciting [...] Perfect organization, an exciting program, and a great support team. We are convinced that the 2 days have sustainably promoted team spirit and motivation in our company. Many thanks for that to you and your entire team."
Rainer Witzgall, Executive Vice President, AVIRA GmbH
"It was a kick-off in the truest sense of the word: The Impulse Company event at the foot of the Oberstdorf ski jump gave our sales team the right kick for the start of the new successful year. Thank you for a perfectly organized event and many great memories!"
Supervisory Board & International Management, Team Training, T-Mobile
"Communication and organization in advance were professional, uncomplicated, and fast... Phil Marte... was completely reserved and overall very professional! Gladly again! The participants highly appreciated the form of team building."
Team Integration Training, Daimler Trucks
"Our TrainEvent in the Oberstdorf region was designed together with ICO through professional and cooperative collaboration, integrating all our requirements and desired content. In the execution and design of the event, ICO showed great flexibility and thus contributed to a very pleasant atmosphere. The support by the native English-speaking trainers was extremely helpful for our intercultural team. We greatly appreciated the open and efficient collaboration with ICO."
Julia Schönherr, Program Management explorers VII, Lufthansa
"Our TrainEvent in the Oberstdorf region was designed together with ICO through professional and cooperative collaboration, integrating all our requirements and desired content." "Many thanks to Phil Marte and his colleagues for the super professional preparation and the smooth execution of our Outdoor Kick-Off Event! With the 'ISS Tipi Building' activities, team course, and creative workshop, it was a very varied training for our international junior staff. The crowning glory of the event was the Afro-Alpine performances by the participants. A thoroughly successful afternoon!" In the execution and design of the event, ICO showed great flexibility and thus contributed to a very pleasant atmosphere. The support by the native English-speaking trainers was extremely helpful for our intercultural team. We greatly appreciated the open and efficient collaboration with ICO."
Sabina Gonzales-George, Media Events Manager, BMW Group UK
"Dear Phil, many, many thanks to you and your team for all your efforts and assistance in making our MINI-Cooper adventure became alive and be so memorable for our guests. The feedback has been great and the journalists have never done anything like this before! It will be a fantastic memory for them." Incentive Bergisel Olympic Ski Jump Innsbruck
Sales Event, Tremco illbruck
"The Tremco illbruck team would like to thank you very much for the absolutely successful event with our entire sales team from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The various 'Team Challenge' tasks showed us that anything can be achieved as a team. The ambiance at the hut also provided us with an unforgettable experience. Many thanks to the entire ICO team, who accompanied us that day and organized everything perfectly."
Martina Diepold, Sales and Projects/Technology Solutions, KUKA
"As part of our international workshop this year, we booked the 'Raft Building on Grüntensee' team event through ICO. Already during the planning, preparation, scheduling, coordination, and organization, we had a competent, flexible, and uncomplicated – all in all – a professional event partner by our side with ICO. With no limits to creativity and inventiveness, impressive raft variations were created. After a successful test raft trip on the lake, a magnificent event afternoon concluded with a 'Stamperl'. The pride, the 'we' feeling, and the intercultural idea were expressed and lived with ease. A COMPLETE success. The team event was the highlight after strenuous days. Our thanks go to Mr. Philipp Marte and the ICO team. We will see you again!"
Annett Fischer, Chief Physiotherapist of the X-raid Team, Rallye Dakar
"Many thanks to the ICO trainers Nina, Julian, and Phil for the individual planning, organization, and execution of the team training as preparation for the X-raid Team's participation in the Dakar 2016. The ICO Skywalk was the perfect location to bring the team closer together and strengthen trust between pilot and co-pilot. I was particularly pleased that the passion for motorsport in biathlon was picked up and integrated by the ICO team. Thanks to the excellent support from the trainers, we had a successful day." Team training in preparation for the Dakar Rally 2016
Nani Roma, Rallye Dakar Winner 2014 Motorcycle and Car
"I wouldn't have thought that a high ropes course could bring team spirit together as much as the ICO Skywalk. In biathlon, in addition to the team, it was also about performing precisely, which is exactly what counts during the rally. Through the challenges, we got to know each other better as a team with fun. Well prepared, we are now starting the Dakar Rally 2016!"
Bernhard Lösel, Trainevent Management, Bosch GmbH
Constantly growing challenges in our market segments require intelligent and sophisticated personnel development concepts, up to the highest management level. In this context, ICO has exemplarily made team performance tangible for our management level. The topic of networking was deepened exemplarily on the first day in the "expedition environment". Tricky group tasks on the following day in the Skywalk Park Oberstdorf ensured success experiences with a high fun factor in both the team and sky courses. Thanks to the ICO employees for the professional organization and execution.
Martin Beiser, National Curling Coach, German Curling Association
Many thanks to the ICO team around Phil Marte for the intensive team event in the Skywalk Park Oberstdorf. The junior women and men of the current national team and reigning German champions were able to experience what active teamwork means in the ground and team courses. By integrating both teams into one overall team, the demanding tasks could be solved. On the ground-air element Pamper Pole, an ideal connection was made to concrete competition situations of the athletes on the topic of stress management. The spectacular ski jump tubing in the run-out of the ski jump stadium formed the final highlight. Thanks for the great support and professional implementation of our team event.
Otmar Oesten, Audi Original Parts and Accessories Marketing, Audi AG
Once again, a heartfelt thank you to ICO for the truly successful execution of the Team Finding Active Parts at your Skywalk Park Allgäu in Oberstdorf as part of our workshop. Inner barriers were overcome, unsuspected abilities were discovered, and team cohesion was strengthened. The individual team activities in the high ropes course with the concluding "ski jump bungee" kick are still deeply anchored in the minds of the colleagues today... The spectacular final ski jump tubing was the crowning glory of the day, reflected in the shining eyes of the colleagues. Everyone had an extreme amount of fun! Your organization was highly professional and pleasantly uncomplicated in its execution.
Sophie Brandner, Apprentice Training, Geiger Group
Dear ICO team, with 50 apprentices, we went with you to the Skywalk Park of the Erdinger Arena in Oberstdorf. The rotating groups went through ground, team, and sky courses, as well as ground and air elements. Some reached their limits. But as a team, everyone managed to overcome their fear. At the end, there was a lot of laughter during bungee running, so the fun factor was 100%. None of this would have been possible without you. Thanks to Mr. Marte for the great preparatory work. Thanks to Mr. Meyer for the uncomplicated cooperation. Thanks to the trainers for a super execution. But above all, thanks to everyone for an exciting, fun, thrilling, great, valuable, and above all unforgettable apprentice day.
Axel Strohmaier and Marion Ranßweiler, Sto SE & Co. KGaA
"We are thrilled by the highly professional and uncomplicated planning, preparation, and execution of our team seminar; a heartfelt thank you to Phil Marte. The summit ascent via GPS with challenging team tasks and the subsequent descent with monster scooters offered extraordinary experiences, were incredibly fun, and at the same time greatly promoted team spirit and motivation. Thanks also to Florian Krumbacher, who, as a former professional ski jumper, conveyed a very special ski jumping feeling to us."
Dr. Ing. Wolfgang Klenk, Bosch GmbH
A heartfelt thank you. The Wildlife Husky Event in Oberstdorf, which we were able to experience with the entire department, was a complete success: (...) The two mushers with their sled dogs were (...) the absolute highlight. We impressively learned what is important for sled dog teams and were able to experience an unforgettable ride with the dog sled ourselves! We can only recommend it, everyone is enthusiastic about the event and will not forget it quickly. Thanks for the good organization, from preparation to the pleasant conclusion.
