Christoph Stein is one of those few people in the world who can build an entire organization from scratch, build a strong team and inspire them, and leave a legacy that will last for many years ahead. He is a visionary for project development with meticulous attention to details, a leader, a natural trainer and coach, a born manager and somebody who gets the best out of people in the workplace. Working with him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional life. I look forward to continued shared projects; it is a privilege to learn from him.

I worked with Christoph for more than 15 years, during this period he demonstrated his engagement and commitment on conservation through different approach and tools, He developed and implemented several capacity building programs addressed to different targets like CSO’s, local communities, governmental organizations and youth. He gained lots of experiences in North Africa and he tailored and adapted his work according to the social and the cultural background of the region. Christoph brought new innovative tools like the training to illiterate people and adults. He is very attentive with positive and constructive thinking which allows the individual to learn easily and fast with confidence and trust.

“Christoph was the manager of our office in Barcelona. In addition to his office managing skills, I truly appreciated his capacity to listen, always find solutions and stay calm in any circumstances. Regarding the office development, he had or was looking constantly for the best connections. Christoph is a true networker and team worker. He also proved to be extremely talented with finding new opportunities for projects development thanks to his special proposal writing skills. It was a real pleasure for me to collaborate with him during these 15 years”

“Over many years with WWF and other organisations, I have worked with a large number of facilitators, trainers, and coaches. Of all of these, Christoph Stein stands out as an exceptional talent. His abilities to identify and interpret key factors and issues, to communicate them simply and clearly, and to steer groups and individuals through effective processes for addressing them are superb. Christoph also happens to be one of the nicest individuals I have ever met! It was always an enormous pleasure to work with him”

“During the 4 years I worked with Christoph at the WWF-Across the Waters office in Barcelona, I found a professional with high levels of empathy, well organized and always empowering. He is a flexible manager, focused on results and on people, and who seeks to help others grow. I definitely grew with him and I'm happy to hear he will continue helping others grow, too. Christoph is a natural coach, always sending your way the right question to help you find your own answers!”

Christoph demonstrated an impressive commitment to his coachees, continuing to support them even after he left WWF. He has helped his coachees gain deeper self-awareness and move towards their fullest potential as leaders. I highly recommend Christoph as a coach and hope that we can work together again on future coaching opportunities.
