Practical courses by experienced trainers

“In this training I hoped to receive tips and tricks on how to avoid misunderstandings between people from different nationalities and backgrounds, especially between Dutch and Belgium co-workers. I have learned that behaviour can be a cultural reaction but also that the individual attitude can play an important role. Being able to understand, flexibility and not judging the expected feedback from colleagues are the major learning points.”

“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.”

“This course provided some wonderful examples and insights on how we can get more dynamism, spontaneity and creativity through ‘out of the box’ thinking within our company. The training fully met expectations. There was very good interaction in the group and the instructor is a born talent to relay information in a correct, constructive yet open manner. Super course! Highly recommended! ”

“I mainly wanted to learn techniques to give better feedback. This expectation was fully met. In fact, we saw even more than this. I learnt technique to stay calm, communicate better and make sure others don't get worked up when feedback is problematic.”

“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 communication workshop was way better than expected. It really made all my employees open up and get to know each other better. It was also very interactive with a lot of exercises and techniques. We now have learned a structured way how to give feedback to each other and to customers.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In this course I learned how to better deal with certain stress factors that are out of my control. The workshop was very to the point and very informative. 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.”

“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.”
