Customer satisfaction

“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.”

“This was the first training in a long time that I genuinely enjoyed. It was highly practical, relevant and immediately applicable to my daily work. I gained valuable new insights and knowledge, delivered in a clear, engaging and interactive way. Thanks to the trainer for the enthusiastic guidance and for taking the time to answer our questions. A highly successful training that exceeded my expectations.”

“Initially, I was very sceptical about the set-up and was actually swept along in a fascinating story from the start, giving me a clear idea of what can be gained from such performance appraisals. The approach made it clear that you can extract a lot of interesting and useful info from such an interview and apply it immediately. I learned that a performance interview is not a snapshot, but should be a continuous process. As far as I am concerned, this was a very successful workshop.”

“The training was really good and there was a good balance between theory and practical exercises. Also quite a lot of communication models & tools were handled. I will certainly put into practice the LESS technique.”

“I know I get stressed easily from certain work-related things, so my aim was to find some tip & tricks to answer this. My expectations were well met. We were able to bring in a lot of personal things, for which answers were also offered by trainer each time. Furthermore, I was given a lot of clear and useful tips & tricks.”

“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!”

“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 was very happy with the way of teaching. Jan was able to create an interactive learning environment that didn't feel forced. I also liked that he used the participants' communication challenges as the starting point for the course. I will write shorter emails, leave more silence instead of talking when it's a sensitive topic, and try to recognise when I am in a defensive, closed communication position.”

“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!”
