Practical courses by experienced trainers

“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 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!”

“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.”

“My learning objective was to gain a structured understanding of the approach to guiding colleagues in in telephone calls. My expectations were fully met. First, I was given tools to better manage conversations. Second, I gained insight into what I was already applying myself in a conversation. Thirdly, the interaction was very valuable. Keep up the good work!”

“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!”

“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 wanted practical tips to give a better presentation as well as some tips & tricks to be able to control nerves when speaking in front of an audience. And this in both English and Dutch. My expectations were met 100%. I was immediately able to put the tips into practice and I am certain that my presentations will make a much better impression with our target group. ”

“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!”
