Awards

Our awards

Our work has already won several awards - a sign that our approach of combining emotions and leadership in new ways is not only effective, but also recognized. Every award is both a confirmation and an incentive for us to continue developing innovative solutions and strengthening people in their emotional sovereignty. Here you will find a selection of the awards and recognitions that have accompanied us on our journey.

Hermann Scherer Excellence Award 2019

Forget what you've heard about emotions. Emotions used to control us, today we control them. We used to condemn emotions, today they are our basis for success and change. Emotions used to be uncontrollable, today we know the rules and laws that govern them. How do you consciously and purposefully use your emotions as a powerful resource and move people? Christoph Theile was awarded the Excellence Award at the 1st International Düsseldorf Speakerslam for its discovery and research on emotions since 2012.

Human Resources Excellence Award 2017

Top performance in HR deserves an award. The HR Excellence Awards recognize innovative lighthouse projects in HR management. Together with its reference customer TOP Radiovermarktung from Berlin (radio stations RS2, BRF, KISS FM), EQTing GmbH wins the coveted HR Excellence Award for leadership development with its Emotional Leadership concept. Armin Braun, Managing Director of TOP Radiovermarktung: "Our meetings have become shorter, we have reached decisions more quickly and are now in a much better position to deal with technical issues in depth, constructively and in a solution-oriented manner."

DVCT Coach & Trainer Award 2016

The future belongs to innovations in the fields of coaching and training. As part of the DVCT Awards, participants present their new concepts and methods. Here, innovations are presented to a broad public and evaluated by experts from the world of HR and work. Gestures, facial expressions and language are the central areas of development in today's concepts of emotional interaction - it is about perception, recognition and understanding of one's own emotions and those of the other person. What is new about the "Emotional Leadership" concept from EQting® is the approach of not only perceiving and passively processing one's own emotions, but also being able to use them in a targeted manner - in leadership and in the team.

Focus and Xing Top Coach 2016

Forget what you've heard about emotions. Emotions used to control us, today we control them. We used to condemn emotions, today they are our basis for success and change.
