Testimonials

“I was looking for insights on giving feedback, delegating and management by objectives. All I can say is: excellent on all fronts. The trainer provides very clever working frameworks that can be applied in the day-to-day business environment and spends a lot of time on coaching and support. Each part of the training allows me to put it into practice, and that is its strong point.”

“I wanted to learn how to concretely manage my time and set priorities to reduce the stress. The training provided al lot of concrete examples (discussion on actual problems)I and tips. I will select 3 actions points and put this into practice to make this work for me. This course would also be very effective for the entire company.”

“I expected a standard management training to refresh the key points I have learned throughout my career. It went beyond refreshing. The trainer really knows how to transfer his passion for people to the group. I'm convinced everyone has found their passion for their job back after this training. This training was more than useful, it was really inspiring.”

“The trainer managed, in a practical way, to teach me useful things. The importance of asking open questions in the sales process and daring to adopt an assertive attitude. I can now apply this on a daily basis. The training has really flown by. It was a great learning experience! ”

“I wanted to gain insights into our team's thinking and thus improve collaboration. There was a nice balance of theory, practical examples and exercises. Each HDBI profile was discussed in detail so we now have a better picture of our communication, expectations and information processing. The result is that we are more understanding of each other. We definitely want another follow-up training!”

“During this very successful training I was able to master the basics of negotiation as well as being given a number of ‘capstans’ to use during negotiations. The tips on body posture and maintaining rapport during conversations were extremely valuable. These expectations were met and I got the chance to see my own skills but also weaknesses during the workshop.”

“Thanks to the training, our meetings have become much more proactive and we get the most out of our online group discussions. Furthermore, we received very good tips and tricks to better deal with video calls. Zoom video meetings are now standard in our team. I can definitely recommend this new way of working! ”
