Pichler and Partner goes above and beyond to help you achieve your career aspirations and I highly recommend them to any company wanting to offer their employees a trusted, professional career transition support service."

"I have been benefiting from outplacement services of Pichler & Partner for 8 months now. During this time, I have been educated, inspired, challenged and motivated during my regular private coaching sessions with Andreas. Each session has been driven by my personal career interests and thus I’ve come away, every time, with actionable advice that I could rapidly put in place. I required coaching on 2 alternate career routes 1.) start-up as self-employed facilitator; 2.) find another salaried job. Andreas stretched my thinking to find my professional purpose and to communicate my offering concisely in both scenarios. His advice for start-up was particularly insightful and practical having personally gone through the experience himself. Being made redundant is emotionally challenging and one can easily get stuck or swirl. The individual attention, care and guidance I received rapidly turned the bad situation into positive self-development. I have successfully run my first project as an independent and have completed 2nd round interviews for an attractive job. The future is looking bright again.  Thank you, Pichler & Partner!"

"Die Firma Pichler & Partner kann ich mit gutem Gewissen absolut weiterempfehlen. Die Firma arbeitet hochprofessionell, fordernd und fördernd, mit dem Coachee zusammen. Die Assessoren entwickeln zusammen mit dem Coachee seine Entwicklungsfelder sehr emphatisch und teamorientiert. Sie legen wirklich exakt den Fokus auf die Probleme bei den jeweiligen Themen. Dort bleibt die Firma bei der Entwicklung des zu Lernenden auch mal hart und fasst nach, korrigiert oder versucht die Ursache zu erarbeiten und erkennen. Damit bewegt man sich automatisch auch ab und zu ausserhalb seiner Komfortzone, was gut und hilfreich ist. Erfolg ist garantiert! Danke!"

"Dans le cadre d’un licenciement économique et après une longue carrière dans la même société multinationale, l’aide de Cécile fut salutaire. Son soutien, son écoute, son coaching m’ont permis de retrouver la confiance nécessaire pour ouvrir une nouvelle page professionnelle en me faisant prendre conscience de mes compétences, qualités et singularités qui forment mon unicité. Cécile respecte notre cheminement personnel, notre propre rythme et avec empathie, persévérance et conviction nous aide à discerner les réponses que nous avons en nous, permettant ainsi la mise en place concrète de nos projets."

N.C., Expert, Supply Chain

"I had no clear understanding what Pichler & Partner will offer to help me finding a new job. I expected support to further improve my CV and insider tips, but I received an individual customized support. Andreas Pichler was coaching me and made me realize my achievements and my value. It changed my self-image and that made the difference. As well, the preparation for my interviews was very efficient and I got a new job within 6 weeks after termination".

T.S., Manager, Facility Management

"Closing a significant chapter of your professional life and reentering the job market is a tipping point in everybody’s career. Pichler & Partner has been a powerful partner for me at this professional junction: Andreas Pichler was a great partner listening, probing and challenging what personally matters most. Building on this powerful foundation he then jointly developed with me a precise action plan to make things happen."

M.P., Senior Executive, General Management

"After close to 30 years spent working in the same industry and in a multinational environment, I had the opportunity to meet Andreas, as part of the outplacement program that my previous employer proposed me. The work done with Andreas in assessing my strengths really energized me and gave me the courage to explore new horizons, that I would have been reluctant to try without his constructive advice. I created my new company a few days after my previous employment contract was terminated and this helped me enormously in expanding my network and allowed me to meet a lot of different people from different industries and with a great variety of experiences to the ones I had previously faced. Whilst I was in the process of starting-up my new business, a promising new employment opportunity in a completely different environment came up unexpectedly. Andreas guided and coached me in making the best final choice, mapping the different options to the personal development work that we have done together at the beginning of the program. I thank Andreas for his constructive and professional guidance."

A.G., Senior Executive, Finance & Administration

"Die Zusammenarbeit mit Pichler & Partner habe ich stets als sehr professionell erlebt und das offene und ehrliche Feedback geschätzt. Sie nehmen sich Zeit und gehen auf die Persönlichkeit und die jeweilige individuelle Situation ein und beziehen auch das private Umfeld in die Analyse ein. Durch Fragen und Denkanstöße gelingt es, den eigenen bisherigen Werdegang zu analysieren und eigene Stärken und Schwächen herauszuarbeiten. Das verdeutlicht auch, was man möchte und was auch nicht. Die angewandten Methoden führen zu einer strukturierten und klaren Selbsteinschätzung und helfen, sich für den Arbeitsmarkt passgenau zu positionieren und letztendlich so, eine neue Stelle zu finden.Die gesamte Zusammenarbeit war durch absolute Vertrauenswürdigkeit und eine angenehme Atmosphäre geprägt."

C.K., Senior Project Manager, Purchasing

„Was kann eine Outplacement-Beratung schon sein?“, dachte ich am Anfang. Sie werden meinen CV aufpolieren und mich motivieren, einen neuen Job zu suchen. Wie man Bewerbungen schreibt, weiss ich selbst. – Weit gefehlt! Auf die klare Ansage, ich müsse selbst etwas tun, es sei keine passive Spassveranstaltung, folgte die Arbeit. Viel Arbeit, sinnvolle Arbeit. Ich habe nie so viel über mich, mein Arbeitsleben und meine Ziele nachgedacht. Die Resultate sind sehr eindrücklich. Cecile Pichler hat es geschafft, mich „alten Dickschädel“ ganz sanft an die Hand zu nehmen und viele neue Erkenntnisse hervor zu holen – ohne eine seelische Nabelschau, die ich sowieso abgelehnt hätte. Ja, mein CV ist heute perfekt. Ja, ich schreibe Bewerbungen heute anders. Aber das Wichtigste ist, ich denke anders, gelassener und „mir-selbst-bewusster“. Davon profitiere ich nicht nur in meinem Arbeitsleben. Danke!

K.W., Expert, Business Writer

"Ich habe persönliche Betreuung gesucht. Bis anhin habe ich die Erfahrung gemacht, dass nur die Darstellung des CV‘s aktualisiert wurde. Bei Cecile Pichler habe ich die Möglichkeit erhalten mich persönlich zu “aktualisieren“, was viel wichtiger ist. Ich habe mit ihr einen zuhörenden Partner und agierenden Coach erhalten. Vielen Dank, dass ihr Menschen betreut und diese auch so behandelt. Bin wieder bei mir selbst und habe dadurch einen auf meine Bedürfnisse zugeschnittene Tätigkeit gefunden."

C.R., Sales & Marketing Manager

"I contacted Cécile to get support and coaching during a professional change. I was looking for a tailor-made support. At the time, I had contacted several other coaches, but most of them were offering packaged-standard solutions. Cécile has been one of the few listenning first, to well understand my need, in order to provide a fully customised support. I had a specific need of advice to be successful during job interviews. Cécile support was a mix of coaching and wise advices, tips and tricks to be more impactfull. She covered the "what" (the message) together with the "how" (the behaviour). At the time, I was in a recruitment process for a Senior position in a prestigious consulting company. Thanks to the support of Cécile, I passed succesfully the 10 interviews, and finally got the job. I warmly recommend Cécile for coaching and personal development."

A.P., Director, Procurement

"I started my Career Spouse Program with Cécile as my coach. At the beginning, we focused our work on my self-image and my different potential professional options in Switzerland. Cécile opened my eyes and helped me to identify my strengths, my talents and my interests, by listening and then challenging me. I learned with her to stay true to myself; this enabled me to build up and follow my own realistic path. With the new positive energy that Cécile gave me, I was able to start my own company. Although my program had finished, Cécile and Andreas still supported me in realizing my dream job."

I am grateful I got the opportunity to do my outplacement program with Pichler and can only recommend them."

A.L., Procurement Director

Based on this, we sharpened my personal brand, developed an application strategy and a clear action plan. Andreas or an expert from the team was available to support me at all times.
