Participating in the MGG Academy, the leadership sessions and coachings with Christine were crucial for my professional development.

We consider our collaboration with Christine Blome to be exceptionally valuable. What stands out in particular is her sensitivity to group processes, her appreciative attitude, her commitment to the continuous development of the MGG Academy, and her subject-matter expertise in designing learning processes. We can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Ms. Blome for consulting, facilitation, and training assignments, as well as for coaching in international contexts.

Christine is – for good reason – a very constant coach and trainer of our leadership- and capacity development programs in international development. She has vast knowledge of state-of-the-art leadership tools and is unparalleled in the way she interacts with people and imparts knowledge to our customers – proven by a great number of profound positive feedback we get.

Nils Maurice, German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ)

Christine’s training on agile leadership gave me the opportunity to see different leadership behavior perspectives that in my 14 years working as C-level for the Public Sector I have never been aware of. There were so many useful and practical takeaways from just a weeklong training that I wished the course could be longer.

Carlos Fortner, Instituto Nacional de Tecnología da Informação

Christine is an extremely professional and structured, empathetic and sympathetic facilitator who has contributed significantly to the success of several international workshops and conferences. I am particularly impressed by her enormous intercultural competence, sensitivity and flexibility. I hope there are still many joint events ahead of us!

Stephanie Widholm, Managing Director, Eine Welt Forum Düsseldorf e.V.

Christine Blome listens actively apart from being patient and well-structured during any discussions. She was there to provide guidance both from professional and personal perspectives, which was quite effective, especially for me to reflect on my future. I do recommend her as a coach/trainer for leadership and intercultural competence capacity development programs.

Nisheeth Srivastava, KFW

Prof. Dr Bernd Overwien, Humboldt University of Berlin

Christine is a warm and fantastic person. She is extremely skilled as a trainer, coach and mentor. Christine helped us perceive life from a new perspective. I strongly recommend Christine as a trainer, mentor and coach in the area of leadership, strategy and design thinking.

Sreerupa Sengupta, Goa Institute of Management

Christine is a natural facilitator and one of the best I know. She has a vast experience working internationally and that is evident by looking how she applies her intercultural-communication skills during every session.

Giovanni Fonseca, University of Potsdam

One of the greatest decisions that I have ever taken, is to decide Christine as my leadership coach/mentor in the context of the MGG Academy. I recently became a team lead managing 40 people and was confused for a very long time on managing projects and more importantly to be a good manager for the team without affecting the work. I discussed my issues with Christine and she actually opened a wide platform of thoughts for me to engage and identify my leadership style. My strengths, my weakness and the areas of improvement were made clear after every session. 

Manoj Joshi, QCI/Quality Council of India

Christine Blome is a highly qualified and experienced organizational coach. She has a natural talent for facilitation in diverse and multicultural environments, both academic and institutional. She is an innovative professional, always looking for alternatives and new ways to connect people towards common purposes.

Miriam Ordoñez Balanzario, IFAD/International Fund for Agricultural Development

With her international experience, openness and flexibility, Ms. Blome contributed greatly to the success of the training. She was able to adapt her content and methodological expertise to the target group and the resulting case studies. Ms. Blome works in an interactive and practice-oriented manner, while maintaining professional appreciation and sensitivity to hierarchical differences and the cultural context. Our collaboration with her was always impeccable, reliable, and punctual. The documentation and follow-up she prepared provided an excellent conclusion to a training that was highly valued by our colleagues. We can therefore recommend Ms. Blome at any time for training and facilitation in intercultural contexts.

Patrick Rüther, Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES)

I was privileged to get Christine assigned as my design thinking coach. Her intuition about team equations seemed spot on as she intervened gently at appropriate moments diffusing any tension or possibility of conflict. I also found her to be extremely sensitive and aware while working in a context with a culturally diverse group of people.

Santana Khanikar, Jawaharial Nehru University
