Practical courses by experienced trainers

“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.”

“The course was really good and complete, with a really nice and dynamic trainer who led the discussions very well, gave relatable examples, and kept the times while enabling everybody to contribute. The workshop gave me tools to apply in case of conflicts at work but also in general.”

“By concretely working through several cases, I gained a clear picture and understanding of how to make problem-solving phone calls. The tips can be applied immediately: how to answer customer questions accurately, how to respond to difficult customers and how to conclude a conversation. It was an enriching experience and there was an open atmosphere around concrete situations. ”

“I wanted to learn new concepts about conflicts and become more confident and strategic in conflict-related situations. The trainer introduced several helpful techniques that will be help in real conflict situations. I liked that these strategies were simple, reasonable and well structured. This training made me confident and showed me that conflict is not always a bad thing and that it can be used for an improvement.”

“I will definitely apply the techniques from the workshop. In fact, I already had the chance to do so: I just had a call with a very irritated client, and I noticed I was able to use what I had learned yesterday. It really helped – in the end, the client even apologised for his anger. I hope the attention I gave him will help to defuse the situation around the late delivery.”

“I am happy to give positive feedback on the Media Training course with expert Lies Martens yesterday. This was absolutely top level.”

“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!”

“The Presentation Techniques course provided me with useful tips and skills to improve my voice and posture. I also gained more insight into how to build a good structure for a presentation. My opinion is clear: everyone who gives professional presentations should take this or a similar course!”

“I wanted to learn to write emails in an even more customer-friendly way. In addition, it was important to get the necessary tools to write texts for the web and for newsletters in a creative way. This expectation was completely fulfilled thanks to the useful tips and the practical exercises. I still take the syllabus with me when I write texts.”

“I really wanted to know how to turn a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’ during a phone call for an appointment. Through practical exercises and the formulation of possible counter-answers, this was immediately put into practice. I also gained insight into a clear structure of points to follow during telephone prospecting. I am impressed by both the positive teaching style and the trainer's knowledge.”
