Practical courses by experienced trainers

“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!”

“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 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!”

“During this very successful training I was able to master the basics of negotiation as well as being given a number of ‘capstans’ to use during negotiations. The tips on body posture and maintaining rapport during conversations were extremely valuable. These expectations were met and I got the chance to see my own skills but also weaknesses during the workshop.”

“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!”

“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.”

“The course fully met my expectations. The trainer was great both in terms of content and the way the training was given. I now have a better understanding of how to answer certain questions from the media and which techniques can be used for this purpose.”

“Many tips were provided and the fact that we were allowed to make our own exercises made us think more. It made us realise that we communicate a lot every day, but not always in the right way (too negative, unclear, not clear, not to the point,...). The trainer was very pleasant and ensured good interaction. There was a relaxed atmosphere and questions were answered immediately. A real tailor-made training :-)”

“Very happy with all the insights I gained from the training 'Learning to Moderate and Facilitate' by Expert Academy. A real gem with theory woven into practical exercises.”
