Practical courses by experienced trainers

“Thanks to the training, our meetings have become much more proactive and we get the most out of our online group discussions. Furthermore, we received very good tips and tricks to better deal with video calls. Zoom video meetings are now standard in our team. I can definitely recommend this new way of working! ”

“The trainer was very well prepared (there was an online intake beforehand with our questions and expectations), clearly had a lot of experience and was really empathetic. She managed to identify our communication problems very quickly and proposed concrete solutions. I was really very surprised and satisfied with the output of this training. Top!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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! ”

“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.”

“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!”

“The trainer managed, in a practical way, to teach me useful things. The importance of asking open questions in the sales process and daring to adopt an assertive attitude. I can now apply this on a daily basis. The training has really flown by. It was a great learning experience! ”

“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!”
