Practical courses by experienced trainers

“Our colleagues were very enthusiastic about the training and teacher. They were given a lot of useful tips, some of which are already being implemented immediately. Thanks again for the pleasant cooperation.”

“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 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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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! ”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
