    "In preparation of the World-Championship of our U 20 junior team in Hungary 2005 Hans J Hinken designed and conducted a motivational mental-training, which bonded my young team of those days successfully. Many teamplayers profited sustainably from this training on a personality- and sports-level, which can be seen in their development in the Professional and National Teams. The proven method of Hans J Hinken and his professional engagement is herewith highly recommended."

    "Within 18 months we were requested to centralize all local ICT departments in a central one, build up new and effectives structures to keep the business running, and to massively cut costs. Due to the professional support and conceptual input of Hans J Hinken we reached the goals already within 12 months. We have been the first department of the complete organization to succeed in such a short time-frame."

    "When there is a special topic to address, Hans tries to approach it not directly but using other ways, indirect. It is first confusing but afterwards helps a lot to see things from different angles."

    "Hans J Hinken accompanies me since 2001 as a team trainer and coach. I worked with him in various leadership positions and took advantage of his vast expertise and know-how, personally and professionally. He coached me successfully and developed my teams on deeper levels of group-dynamics and self-empowerment."

    "First of all Hans J Hinken is totally in the topic of teambuilding. He loves it, he is passionate about it and genuinely believes in it's purpose – and everybody can feel this authenticity. The second element is his ability to bring unconventional ways to engage people. I especially like his way to combine his second passion – namely art – within teambuilding events. As business leaders we are all able to address the brains of our teams. As Mercury helped the messages of the divinity to pass, Hans J Hinken is helping our messages to also reach the hearts and the minds of our co-workers and customers."

    "By his guidance Hans J Hinken has given us the opportunity to grow personally as well as team…. After clarification of values and behavior-patterns the creation of a trustful communication was a surprise in the effectiveness of the team. The common coping with unusual challenges led to a new understanding of how tasks can be mastered in a period of restructuring of the company in a creative - progressive way, without a win or lose conflict.“

    "The Board of Directors created a vision and implemented a strategy, remarkable within this branch of industry and outlined for a global business. This process was facilitated by Hans J Hinken in English on an international level and was successfully cascaded throughout our intercultural and diversified organisation. I strongly recommend the cooperation with Hans J Hinken."

    "Colleagues lived experiences and faced challenges that at first sight seemed very far off from their daily working context. Here is the keypoint of Hans Hinken’s brilliant strategy: make people feel things instead of explaining things to them, reveal their individual and collective strength, and then trigger their own conclusions about the way they want to work together. My team enjoyed, learnt, felt… and changed. The Monday after, the working atmosphere had noticeably changed, and it has remained so ever since. Do I already have R.O.I. ? Definitely yes!"

    "I met Hans J Hinken the first time on a project kick-off Q 24 ROCHE VITAMINS LTD at Budapest 9-12-2001. The day before was a crucial date -worldwide- and the flight schedules in Europe were in complete disorder.
    We were wondering, if he would make it on time with his team of 4 trainers.
    Indeed he did it - and we were surprised that all the logistics were done properly in such a short time. We were deeply impressed that he turned the low motivation of the 45 project members, who hardly knew each other, into a U-turn of 180 degree. After these 2 hours of a cross-cultural teambuilding our senses have been wide open, a trustful and cooperative atmosphere has been created and our will was reinforced that we can make it and succeed - if we really try.
    . . . Based on this experience, two years later I contracted Hans J Hinken and his team again to facilitate the merger process of ROCHE VITAMINS into the Dutch DSM NUTRITIONAL-PRODUCTS."

    "During my time as coach of the handball-team of TV Emsdetten I cooperated with Hans J Hinken. He supported my work positively as trainer and instructor by developping the inner strength of each player on an individual basis by his unique swordmanship exercises. The team of TV Emsdetten developed itself during these years from the bottom of the secondary league to the top of the teams."
