A brief interview with Stefan
Wir, das Redaktionsteam dieser Website, haben uns überlegt, dass Sie Stefan sicher etwas besser kennen lernen wollen. Daher haben wir ihm ein paar Fragen gestellt.
Ein paar konnte er direkt beantworten – bei der ein oder anderen musste er etwas länger nachdenken…. Viel Spaß!
- Stefan, you have been working as a coach and consultant for over 25 years. In your opinion, what are the most important parameters for successful change in an organisation?
- Adaptability comes to mind immediately. There is no need to remain in all of your old structures, nor to follow every trend. I often help my clients to understand what they want to keep and what they want to change. I am a fan of agile work, but it does not fit everywhere and for every process. It also takes courage. Everyone involved must be prepared to work on themselves, their team and their organisation - including senior management. I often have to make this uncomfortable necessity clear. But once the commitment is right, we can really make a difference.
- How do you manage to point out such uncomfortable necessities?
- I am straight forward regarding the issue but sensitive regarding people. This is very important to me. A customer once said that I would ask the right questions at the right time, so that the customer would then recognise the hurdle himself and be able to overcome it. I can very well find myself in that.

- What do you, as a person, have to offer in order to maintain calmness and an overview even in difficult consulting situations?
- I believe in open dialogue and live it - including possible conflicts. For me, a conflict is never the conclusion or a dead end, but always the chance for something new to arise. It's like dissonances in music: they often make it interesting in the first place. As a passionate jazz pianist, I can only confirm this.
- You yourself were founder, partner and managing director of the medium-sized consulting company "Hattinger Büro" for 25 years. Does this experience help you to better understand your clients?
- Yes, I'm sure. As an entrepreneur and manager, I have experienced first-hand many of the issues that concern my clients today. Focusing on customer benefit, leadership and employee motivation, finding a balance between strategy work and excellence in operations are just a few examples that come to my mind spontaneously. All this has shaped me and made me more experienced as a person and as a consultant.
- Stefan, will you tell us something about yourself that makes you a bit uncomfortable?
- Hm, well, there is something. I sometimes order crazy stuff on the internet. There are so many things I've never heard of. So I get curious and want to find out what exactly all that is. Then we receive strange packages and my family has some big laughs. They say: "Daddy clicked again".
- Thank you for your openness!

...and that's what clients say about me
"His mix of clarity, empathy, and his authentic, human approach makes him a very special coach for me."
“I have been working with Stefan for about a year and a half, and this collaboration has helped me grow tremendously, both personally and methodologically. What I especially value is that Stefan doesn’t let go of difficult topics and openly addresses uncomfortable points – until a truly good decision is reached. Stefan introduces modern working methods and psychological fundamentals that always fit well and can be integrated into everyday work. His impulses have not only helped me personally but also had a positive impact on the company. His blend of clarity, empathy, and his authentic-human approach makes him an exceptional coach to me.”
"...how much you dedicate yourself to us...”
“We truly appreciate how much you dedicate yourself to us and help ensure that we can work successfully.”
"an outstanding consultant"
“Stefan Casalino is an outstanding consultant who knows how to closely accompany change processes with competence, expertise and humanity, to work out clear priorities and to motivate with well thought-out workshop formats. For us as a team and as an association, he is a reliable partner in our development – now and in the future.”
"incredibly quickly and precisly"
“Every contact, even a short one, is a win:
Stefan Casalino always gets to the heart of a question incredibly quickly and precisly. The joint solutions put their finger in the wound in order to work unerringly and appreciatively on the “healing”.
"A true professional"
„A true professional. Over long years, in various formats and with unvarying success. Your man, if you want to change things. Thanks Stefan!“
"an absolute professional in his field"
„Stefan has been supporting us in organizational development for several years.
He is an absolute professional in his field – far-sighted, anticipating, human, humorous, and conceptually strong. Stefan stands for solution orientation.
Stefan is very experienced in the management of team development processes.
I am impressed by the sovereignty with which you lead and accompany us at all times – especially in difficult phases – as a team and me on our Columbus voyage “to India” – each individual with his or her needs in mind. This is world class… And it’s so incredibly valuable to us.“
"clear view on complex structures"
„Stefan’s clear view on complex structures and the people who work in these structures has given me many “eye-opener” moments. In just a few meetings, the core factors could be identified and subsequently processed in a structured manner. The cooperation with Stefan is very enriching and inspiring and not only for the team leads in the organization, but also I was coached inconspicuously.“
unique way of meeting and "picking up" people "at eye level"
“I have enjoyed working with Stefan Casalino for many years. Not only has he done an excellent job in the context of various change processes, but he has also proven his expertise very reliably in top management.
As always, the managers were enthusiastic about his professional and structured approach as well as his well-founded expertise and his unique way of meeting and “picking up” people “at eye level”.
His professionalism and expertise have always made a decisive contribution to success.
I can recommend Stefan without reservation and am grateful for the valuable cooperation.”
"good impulses and inspiration"
„Development starts with Us“
„For several years, Stefan Casalino has been supporting us in the areas of change management, leadership, team building, as well as employee selection and development.
In addition to his professional manner, it is above all the very personal “eye-to-eye approach” with the people at Losch that always gives us good impulses and inspiration for continuous development.
Through various workshops and formats, the “toolboxes” of our employees become fuller.“
