Training & Development

Herbert Steinhauser’s career started in the automobile industry. His success as a salesperson for Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche paved the way for his career as key account manager for major commercial clients. A strong passion for communication in general and sales in particular led to his decision to move into the training profession. Following an intensive Train-the-Trainer-course with a highly reputed consulting firm, he worked for a number of organisations as a trainer and coach.

During this time he acquired extensive know-how in the training and development of managers and sales personnel as well as technical and back office staff.

Thus, as a sales manager, he led his teams to great success whilst gathering valuable experience in leadership. During that time he was in charge of the start-up of three B2B-units and a staff of up to 30.
Since 2001, Herbert Steinhauser has been responsible for ISG’s Training & Development unit. Customers from diverse industries, often market leaders, work with him and benefit from individually tailored training concepts.

With a background in the furniture industry, he then specialized in carpentry and interior design, and quickly moved from there to consulting and sales in the high-end furniture trade. He was instrumental in setting up two franchise locations in the center of Vienna and soon had the opportunity to lead his own team. In short time he was able to really make these teams successful.

Christian Watzenig was responsible for the successful management of both franchise locations for four years.  He developed his own training program within the company to make successful employees even more successful.  The focus of these internal trainings was: sales, presentation, and communication.

After becoming a trainer (Competences: economic and social affairs), he supported a medium-sized company in the upscale furniture trade (approximately 250 employees) as a sales manager.

MAIN FOCUS:

• Sales

• Leadership

His goal is to be practically oriented and effective

Parallel to her studies of psychology with the focus on occupational, organizational and industrial psychology at the University of Vienna, Martina Süssl began her professional career in the service team of DO & CO. To be host with all her heart and soul and to fulfill the highest quality standards was a daily challenge to be met. The awareness that customers are the only reason for the existence of a business, affects her working style to this day.

During this ten-year stint she was responsible for the organization and direction of numerous projects and in 1997 she was – based on her success – appointed as manager of a profit-centre. In this function she was able to gather important experience in management and was able to deploy instruments of personnel management as well as recruiting, implementing and leading appraisal interviews, developing and carrying out in-house workshops. Cost responsibility and result responsibility helped her understand the ways of business and entrepreneurial thinking.

HER FOCUS AT ISG IS ON:

Due to her above-average commitment she looks after her customers providing highest quality and sustainability.

Miriam Murg studied social sciences at the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen / Nuremberg (Germany), with an emphasis on “industrial and organizational psychology” and “Personnel Economics”. During her studies she was active for four years as a trainee student at one of the world’s largest technology companies, where she first gained professional experience and insight into the business processes of global players.

On the basis of her study focus and her passion for working with people, Miriam Murg started her career in early 2005 with ISG in the field of HR, where she primarily supported well known companies in finding and selecting new employees.

Among her special areas of expertise are the development and monitoring of strategic training programs with a focus on apprenticeship, traineeship, High Potential and junior programs, and the design and implementation of potential analysis, such as Assessment / Development Center, structured interviews and 360 ° – feedback.
The development and implementation of employee appraisal meetings, as well as the implementation of apprenticeship training round out her activity profile.

Of particular importance for Miriam Murg is the development of people, taking into account their abilities and potentials , without losing the connection to the company and her respective goal.

In early 2006, Miriam Murg switched within ISG from personnel consulting to the training and development department where she has since been particularly active in the field of human resource development.

“Supporting people and businesses along the way towards their goals”, is Alfred Schaider’s main objective which he chose early on, inspired by early experiences as teamleader and in sales, during his studies in business management in Graz and Manchester. Consequently, this led him to specialise in personnel and organisational development as well as knowledge management.

To supplement his academic management know-how, Alfred Schaider also completed self-awareness-oriented trainer courses and further seminars such as radio and stage presentations, conflict partnership, coaching and team-development.

Alfred Schaider’s distinct talent to combine diverse approaches as well as dealing with people in an authentic, humorous and appreciative way, contributed vastly to his success as a trainer since 2000.
After training and coaching thousands of people from various business backgrounds, levels of education and age groups in the areas of leadership, sales, teamwork, conflict management, communication, self-marketing and issues arising from professional orientation he joined ISG in in 2006. He currently works on making his vision (and yours?) reality through customised team development, leadership and sales trainings and individual coachings – accommodating both economic and personal aspects in organisations assuring a company’s success.

In contact with managers, employees and HR of different branches Alfred Schaider developed as very special training-focus since 2010: „Making people happy at work!“
Combining scientifically-sound interventions from “positive psychology” (cf. Seligman, Peterson, Lyubomirsky, Diener, Csikszentmihalyi, Fredrickson, Cameron e.a) a relatively new branch of research, as well as techniques out of the Systemic and Logotherapeutic context he offers “Happy at work” as keynote-speech, seminar-program, teamworkshop or individual coaching-process.
