“Karin Lindner’s book was launched into the Mexican market at just the right time. This book encourages the reader to develop a different thought process and shines a light on people who are, in fact, the essence of our business success. As Managers, we have to start being curious about the people around us and learn how to keep our emotions in check. With Karin’s help in my executive coaching sessions, I have managed to become noticeably better in my abilities as a leader. It’s all about listening to people’s input and involving them in our day-to-day business challenges. The pressure in the automotive industry with the focus on monthly, quarterly and yearly results can be overwhelming. People often don’t know how they can deal with this level of stress. Over the years, Karico has worked with many of our managers one-on-one to provide different tools and techniques. After Karico’s Leadership Training in Mexico, we were able to reduce absenteeism by 49% and turnover by 36% over the course of only eight months. She helped us to look at our challenges from a completely different perspective. Her understanding about the people who work in the manufacturing industry is a clear asset to any manufacturing company that strives to develop a better culture and become world-class.”  

“Karin is a very determined individual and a good role model for the people who have the privilege to work with her. I have learned to appreciate Karin because she is an example of how a person can succeed under less than ideal conditions. She is mentally strong and believes that mental strength is a leadership competency that anyone can develop. After observing the impact of the Leadership Development Training for Team Leaders, Area Managers and Plant Managers, which was applied throughout the KIRCHHOFF organization, I decided to hire Karico for one-on-one leadership coaching sessions with a selected group of my managers. I didn’t have to wait long in order to observe obvious improvements within my team members. Accountability, reliability and positive behaviour changes soon became evident.  If you look for someone to develop leadership skills, which are strictly applicable to work, perhaps you could use any other company. However, if you truly want someone who will bring the best out of people, develop interpersonal skills, and is able to provide a different perspective that goes beyond work, then you should hire Karico. Life is not divided between work life and personal life. Life is life. Karin has developed a method that helps her and her team to connect with people at a whole different level so that they can meet the growing demands of a manufacturing world-class organization. As an added bonus, Karin writes daily educational and inspirational messages for the people in the manufacturing industry, which help to stay connected with the training content and shine a different light on people’s daily challenges.”  

“In 2018, I made the decision to work with an external leadership training provider. We offered supervisory training and one-on-one coaching to our team members. I am glad that we chose to work with Karin and Team Karico. Karin’s positivity and her focus on people is like a breath of fresh air, which definitely has had an impact on the business and the way we look at things. We saw almost immediate results by observing people from different departments who, after the training, started to interact with each other in a more positive and engaging way. This will help us to break down unnecessary communication barriers. Our team leaders have gained self-confidence and become more solution- and outcome-oriented. Karico also supported our bottom line by helping us to save money. We applied for a government grant for leadership training and, because of that, we were able to reduce the training cost by 30%. I believe every company that wants to be best in class and be a great place to work is in good hands with Karin and her team. Shift will continue to work together with Karico in order to build a culture for and with people who care about each other and the business at the same time.”

“Marwood International has engaged Karico several times to help our associates to reach the next level. Karin and her team are dedicated to serving the people in manufacturing environments.  They have a deep understanding of the industry's challenges. I was highly impressed that Karico was able to gain trust from some of the most difficult folks, and have a profound impact on team building and change management. Karin and her team have the passion for leadership training. Their sessions were well organized, catered to individual needs and had a strong follow-up process. Our team members have learned to communicate better and become more team- and solution-oriented. Collectively and individually, our team is better equipped to meet the growing demands of our industry.  I would not hesitate to recommend Karin to any company that is serious about the development of their people – their greatest asset.”

“I would like to thank Karin for everything she has done for our company. There have been noticeable changes in many members of our team since the training through Karico. The people show more initiative and have more direct communication. There is a renewed sense of responsibility and accountability amongst team members, and we have an overall stronger team dynamic. I truly appreciate Karin’s daily emails as they always hit the nail on the head. More often than not, these messages touch on a challenge that is relatable in the here and now, and they always leave me with the desire to do more, to become more and to build up those around me.”

“I consider Karin Lindner to be a “believer,” a fighter and a mentor who has the best interest of people in mind. At the beginning, I was hesitant about enrolling into one-on-one leadership coaching sessions, but pretty soon I started to recognize the value. The coaching has helped me to become more confident and to believe in myself. It has made me a better Manager and Leader. The people in our plant connect better with each other and it has become a more joyful work environment. Training, as well as Coaching, is important to establish change for the better and it benefits both management and the employees.”
