Practical courses by experienced trainers

“The training was really good and there was a good balance between theory and practical exercises. Also quite a lot of communication models & tools were handled. I will certainly put into practice the LESS technique.”

Lies Van EyckenDesmet

“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.”

“Lies Martens combines great expertise and experience with a warm personality and great empathy. The group immediately felt at ease and received excellent advice. Through many practical exercises, we were immediately given actionable and very useful tips.”

“It was a great course. I am convinced that everybody returned back home with a high degree of satisfaction and packed with a bag full of tools for their professional and personal lives. Many thanks for the teachings.”

“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 :-)”

“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!”

Claire Dupont VUB - Institute for European Studies

“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.”

“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 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.”

Marianne VanoucheAntalis

“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.”
