A Warm Welcome to You!
I'm Andrea Melzer, the visionary behind Gondel Training and Mentoring Service.
Your arrival here isn't mere chance—it's the first step on an extraordinary path to transformation.
Since 2012, Gondel has been my passion project, my mission to revolutionize lives and transform communities.

The Gondel Method: Revolutionizing Mindsets
At Gondel, we're not just managing conflicts; we're reshaping your entire mindset. We're turning your challenges into stepping stones for growth.
Let's confront the elephant in the room: trauma. This invisible force often dictates our reactions, especially during conflicts.
Have you ever felt emotionally overwhelmed in disagreements or struggled to trust? That's where Gondel empowers you to unleash your potential.
By acknowledging trauma in conflict management, we unlock a world of compassion, understanding, and true empowerment.
The Gondel Method isn't just a method or strategy; This innovative method empowers you to tackle conflicts with confidence and composure.

The Genesis of Gondel:
A Journey that Began in 2012
Take a trip down memory lane to the origins of Gondel, where the seeds of our training and mentoring service were planted in September 2012.
The spark for Gondel ignited when Zelma Nagy, a valued participant in my prior training sessions, brought forth the idea of extending the Gondel service to her network. The inception moment, captured in the attached image, marks the commencement of our journey. Zelma, immersed in the realm of health and social care, particularly in hospital pastoral care, recognized the significance of introducing Gondel's unique training service to her colleagues. Driven by a passion for fostering growth and understanding, she extended invitations throughout her network.
This pivotal moment marked the genesis of Gondel Training and Mentoring, a journey propelled by the commitment to providing unparalleled conflict management training.
From that initial idea, we have evolved into a platform dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations with skills rooted in empathy, resilience, and growth.
As we reflect on these humble beginnings, Gondel remains steadfast in its mission to make a positive impact through transformative training.
Join us in celebrating the journey that began with a vision and continues to shape lives through the Gondel approach.
Samuel Stories
Therapeutic and Educational Stories Help You Understand and Process Conflicts.
To further enrich our approach, Andrea Melzer began crafting the Samuel Stories in 2014, ten years ago. This series of educational and therapeutic narratives is rooted in the Gondel Method's belief that conflicts can lead to growth and understanding.
Andrea Melzer began publishing the Samuel Stories in Hungarian language on March 22, 2014,
on this blog: https://melzerandi.blogspot.com/2014/03/kobe-vesett-szavak-avagyhomokba-irt.html.
These engaging tales emphasize the importance of words, empathy, and reflection in nurturing healthier relationships. Each story fosters personal growth and facilitates constructive dialogue.
We invite you to explore the Samuel Stories, which you can find in our blog under the Therapeutic and Educative Stories section linked below, to uncover valuable insights that resonate throughout all six narratives, enhancing your ability to connect and manage conflicts effectively in everyday life.

Andrea's mentoring combined with the video training helped me to gain insights into trauma triggers and responses. These helped me to understand the impact on individuals when challenged, these have not only enhanced my communication skills but have also allowed me to expand my clientele. I am now confidently offering services to even the most challenging clients.
