About Christian Wattig
“Thanks for running the workshop this week. The feedback was OVERWHELMINGLY positive - it was a home run! Great job.”
“What I liked most about the three full-day sessions Christian led was that they were highly interactive - you weren’t being lectured to. I would absolutely recommend the workshops. The content and presentation were great.”
“I recommend Christian as a corporate trainer. The workshop provided a good comprehensive coverage of fp&a responsibilities and it drove a lot of thinking and reflection. The story frameworks were particularity helpful.”
“Thank you for facilitating a great training session with the team! The content and individual learning lessons were all excellent and exactly what we were looking for. This was a very successful training for our team. Happy to be a reference for you in the future.”
“The model guidelines are extremely practical and relevant to what we need to improve upon. I recommend Christian as a trainer, because there were excellent takeaways to build structure into processes that don’t get thought about too deeply today (and I assume by a lot of other companies).”

"The core issue was a lack of consistency across the team's work... I needed everyone to understand a uniform, foundational way to approach financial modeling.
The combination of subject matter expertise and highly engaging instructional delivery is exceptional. Christian successfully facilitated a measurable improvement in team consistency and foundational knowledge. You kept the energy high... No one checked out!
We got 5/5 ratings across the board. Common comments were: 'Best training all year,' and 'Immediately useful."
