About me
The easiest deal I ever closed started with a motorcycle on a client's desk. We spent 28 minutes in his garage talking bikes. Then we spoke briefly about business, and he signed.
That is what I teach: people buy from people they trust. I learned it as a young officer in the IDF and studied it in my doctorate on German-Israeli negotiations at LMU Munich. Since then my team and I have tested it with sales and purchasing teams at BMW, Pictet, EGYM and Bosch.
I came to Munich from Israel in 2004 to study. Today I am a professor of international management here, and a flight instructor. In the cockpit and in a negotiation, the same things keep you in the air: preparation, calm and clear words. My motto: "You don't have to be a jerk to be successful."
Flying Training & Consulting
Behaviorally grounded, always tailored. We are a small team of senior trainers and coaches. Our standard: measurable results, not workshops off the shelf.
From anchoring to the Harvard Method to negotiating on Zoom. Two days, built around your real cases.
Five senses, first impressions, email, body language and the psychology of numbers. Proven with Euroasia, EGYM, SAP and luxury brands.
"Stand out or get lost." "The Power of Positivity." "Your first flight lesson." Aviation, intelligence tradecraft and behavioral science in talks people still quote months later.

Client voices
I can strongly recommend Professor Katz from three perspectives: personally, as a human being, as a business consultant, and as a strategy and negotiation trainer.
Professor Katz and his team managed to change our complete sales approach. We now have a dedicated process in place, and clients are happier than ever!
The Client Experience training is close to becoming the best results ever achieved at Pictet Academy. The Net Promoter Score of 100 is the best in our history.
Prof. Dr. Katz was invaluable when negotiating with SAP management. He helped us achieve far more than expected through simple tactics — learning our unique challenges and acting accordingly. Highly recommended for any demanding negotiation.
The communication training and personal coaching by Guy and his team were remarkable and transformative. Their bespoke feedback and expertise elevated our skills and boosted sales performance to new heights.
Great negotiation training by the Flying Professor. Training fatigue turned into pure excitement. Great storytelling and meaningful learnings that can immediately be applied.
