Practical courses by experienced trainers

“In this training I hoped to receive tips and tricks on how to avoid misunderstandings between people from different nationalities and backgrounds, especially between Dutch and Belgium co-workers. I have learned that behaviour can be a cultural reaction but also that the individual attitude can play an important role. Being able to understand, flexibility and not judging the expected feedback from colleagues are the major learning points.”

“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.”

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!”

“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! ”

“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 really enjoyed the way the training was given. The trainer makes the workshop engaging and he is able to keep everyone's focus. I especially remember that it is important not to bring the content in a negative way but rather to phrase it in a positive way and focus on what is important.”

“This training made me more aware of time wasters and know how to handle them better. I must say I was impressed with this training form start to end. I have learned to reserve more time for myself, plan more ahead and update my to do list with the smart method.”
