Marketing and Public Relations

With his background in mathematics, computer programming and IT coaching, Wolfgang has very quickly dived into our software, giving invaluable assistance in translating LSA and WSA instruments into German and creating our new websites. When giving technical support during live seminars he was impressed by educators' positive feedback about Learning Styles and the Diversity Concept. He experienced the impact our software was making, particularly in difficult teaching situations and decided to take over the marketing and public relations part of Creative Learning.

An Austrian who studied mechanical engineering and economics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and lived for the past 7 years in the heart of the European Internet business - in Munich, Germany. Since 2007 he is back to Austria, Vienna, and met Barbara in the beginning of 2008. Right away he was enthusiastic about the Learning Styles concept and since then has become responsible for supporting our European partners and communicating with our clients on and off-line, mainly in Europe. Through our new office in Vienna he now represents Creative Learning Systems in Europe and is assisting in developing the LSA & WSA business mostly in the German speaking countries. He wants to show how brilliant and helpful the Working Style Analysis (WSA) can be for business development in every company. He is certified in Suggestopedia and offers different courses using accelerated learning methods (like "Learning to type in 4 hours"). Felix is a passionate father of two children and therefore also interested in learning styles for young people. Through his technical and pedagogical knowledge he is a brilliant support for all our contacts from the northern hemisphere.
