Practical courses by experienced trainers

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“A very practical training course. You can use it straight away to simplify your daily activities: for example, record a telephone conversation with a customer, keep track of your own activities and bring structure to your tasks and plans.”

“I am happy to give positive feedback on the Media Training course with expert Lies Martens yesterday. This was absolutely top level.”

“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 wanted to be able to deliver a message more efficiently and with greater conviction. My expectations were 100% met. This was a very good training. Particularly interesting was the structure of a message, such as not starting immediately with the 'what' but focusing on the 'how' first.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Team building went extremely well. The workshop was very interesting and interactive. The expert sensed our group very well and kept focus on our objectives of ‘active listening and cooperation’. In any case, the workshop flew by!”
