TÜV SÜD’s requirement

We worked with a key individual, Terho Wilson, who approached us while working for a different employer. He needed coaching support to transition from an operational to a regional GM role. His HR department chose WWA to help him with executive one-to-one coaching because they felt that we understood and engaged well with business in the Middle East.

WWA’s solution

We worked with Terho over ten months, providing him with coaching for one to two hours every two to three weeks. From the onset we created clear, set objectives both for him and his organisation. When Terho moved to TÜV SÜD, he reported that the coaching he received was of major value to him in his new organization.

Our impact

As CEO of TÜV SÜD AG in the Middle East and Africa, Terho says: “Overall the biggest success of the coaching is that today, some five years later, I still refer back to my learning and apply it my newest role, particularly in demanding situations - I can’t say that of any other type of traditional training or mentoring I have received in the past.”
