“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!”

“This training was very hands-on and sprinkled with examples seized from the employees' daily work environment. This makes the training particularly engaging and immediately applicable in practice. For example, the 'sandwich technique' is used daily when a difficult message needs to be delivered. Highly recommended for anyone who has customer-focused conversations!”

“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 session was very interactive and an impulse on realizing that you are responsible for the thoughts you have and how these have an influence on your communication in life. The session was very valuable in a way that it can be applied to all parts of life, as well in the work environment as in private life.”

“I wanted to learn what assertive communication actually is, in what way it can help me, and how to use it. This training really helped me to create a better work-environment. I'll try to use it when talking to my boss, clients, etc. to create a better relationship. Also the trainer was very capable. He adapted the course to our needs. I think that is one of the most important things in a training like these, that it feels personal and recognizable. So good job & many thanks!”

“The training around stress and burnout was very successful. It was exactly what we expected and everyone was happy with the workshop. We will definitely follow up on this. I highly recommend this course!”

“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.”

“I was looking for some techniques to deal professionally with the media. Expectations were fully met and the immediate feedback on the camera exercises is very interesting. Smooth and interactive training given by Lies Martens, who knows her profession inside out.”

Gunther UyttenhoveColruyt Group

“I wanted to learn how to communicate in front of a camera and how to convey a message with clarity and confidence. The trainer gave us immediate insights on how to communicate clearly and distinctly in front of the camera. Through various practical exercises, I could already see an immediate positive evolution. In short: excellent training!”
