Practical courses by experienced trainers

“By concretely working through several cases, I gained a clear picture and understanding of how to make problem-solving phone calls. The tips can be applied immediately: how to answer customer questions accurately, how to respond to difficult customers and how to conclude a conversation. It was an enriching experience and there was an open atmosphere around concrete situations. ”

“The training was very useful and provided a clear and inspiring overview of useful AI tools. Meanwhile, we are already applying these interesting tips.”

“I will definitely apply the techniques from the workshop. In fact, I already had the chance to do so: I just had a call with a very irritated client, and I noticed I was able to use what I had learned yesterday. It really helped – in the end, the client even apologised for his anger. I hope the attention I gave him will help to defuse the situation around the late delivery.”

“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 wanted to know how to turn a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’ during a phone call for an appointment. Through practical exercises and the formulation of possible counter-answers, this was immediately put into practice. I also gained insight into a clear structure of points to follow during telephone prospecting. I am impressed by both the positive teaching style and the trainer's knowledge.”

“'I wanted more self-confidence in front of the camera and practical tips to build my skills. I received very concrete tips during the training, which I can put to use immediately. By recording short presentations of all participants, you get a good picture of yourself. The training was also presented in a very dynamic way, completely digital, but that had no effect on the quality. Well done!'”

“I wanted to learn what assertive communication actually is, in what way it can help me, and how to use it. This training really helped me to create a better work-environment. I'll try to use it when talking to my boss, clients, etc. to create a better relationship. Also the trainer was very capable. He adapted the course to our needs. I think that is one of the most important things in a training like these, that it feels personal and recognizable. So good job & many thanks!”

David Van OsGreenfish

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
