Customer satisfaction

“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.”

“I wanted to learn specific tips for enhancing human relationships in the working environment - both as a manager and as a team member myself. I learned a lot about how I can change my own behaviour and communication to enhance people management. We closed the day with an action plan. This was excellent. As people managers we have become far more aware of how we function!”

“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.”

“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 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 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.”

“'I wanted more self-confidence in front of the camera and practical tips to build my skills. I received very concrete tips during the training, which I can put to use immediately. By recording short presentations of all participants, you get a good picture of yourself. The training was also presented in a very dynamic way, completely digital, but that had no effect on the quality. Well done!'”

“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!”
