Simone Banghard

“I inspire and motivate people” is how Simone Banghard describes her passion for working with people. Formerly, the contagious and compassionate trainer majored in business administration and real estate and business law. She is a successful businesswoman in her industry in both Germany and the United States.

The richness of her education reflects in the diversity of her field of endeavor, in leadership training, team building, and personality development.

Simone Banghard accompanies people in taking on challenges at work and in their private lives, mastering difficult situations constructively, and developing personal strengths. Sustainable growth is vital to her as an agile coach and one of the world’s few qualified “Professional Agile LeadershipTM” of Scrum.org.

Authentic. Agile. To the point.

Since 2013, a unique method has been at the heart of her work: Horse-Assisted Coaching and Training, which includes working with wild mustangs.

Wolfgang Skrobanek

Wolfgang Skrobanek first came to coaching in a roundabout way. For many years, the economist and sports scientist worked in the real estate and renewable energy industries. He visited wind farms all over Europe, got to know the key players in the industry. But he felt something was missing in his life.

A few years ago, he participated in equine leadership training. Through the challenge of facing a stallion, he quickly learned how to set boundaries, position himself and communicate clearly: I want this, and I don’t want that. The horse reacted – immediately, candidly to his changed attitude – and embraced the new leadership role right away.

“I want to share this life-changing experience with others, particularly men and business people.” Wolfgang Skrobanek now works as a coach and trainer in leadership development, team building, and personality development in the United States and Germany. He is also one of the world’s few Scrum.org certified “Professional Agile LeadershipTM” practitioners.
Wolfgang Skrobanek is the proud owner of several mustangs in the USA. Taming wild mustangs is one of his passions.

Respect. Commitment. Trust.
