“For many years I have been struggling with speaking fast and articulating poorly in Dutch. The coach provided good insights and the exercises and tips are a daily reminder to pay attention to my breathing. I also received some personalized tips that are very helpful. I should have done this earlier!”

“My questions were: how to make a story concise and to the point? ‘Sell’ projects better (internally)? These questions were amply answered in the storytelling workshop. The course had a clear structure, lots of practice opportunities and there was a lot of interaction. This was very instructive. The trainer was a pleasant and experienced teacher. He knows his story/profession very well.”

“I enrolled in the Assertiveness course to learn to communicate better in difficult situations without clamming up. I became aware that choices can be made, at all times. Especially the DESC model was a real revelation for me. The trainer was very driven and conveyed his insights in an enthusiastic way.”

“The expectations were all met. The trainer explained the material very clearly and let us try it ourselves. If we got stuck on something, the trainer came by to explain it to us separately. I learned a lot and apply what I learned every day: planning tasks, scheduling meetings more efficiently and the handy shortcuts to work faster. It was a top training!”

It is the most interactive training I have ever had and with a super teacher. I have the feeling that I will be able to benefit from this for a long time to come.”

“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! ”

“In all aspects, the training fulfilled and actually exceeded my expectations. Not only the trainer perfectly analysed my weaknesses but was able to suggest personalized tips and tools for getting rid of them and improve my time management. Lies Martens was an amazing, enthusiastic, and clearly very experienced trainer, who addressed each participant individually and was able to make the course flow smoothly for the whole time without losing our attention and interest. This course was a pleasant experience and the attitude of the trainer really motivated me. I will definitely apply the tips in my daily work.”
