“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I wanted to be able to deliver a message more efficiently and with greater conviction. My expectations were 100% met. This was a very good training. Particularly interesting was the structure of a message, such as not starting immediately with the 'what' but focusing on the 'how' first.”

“The communication workshop was way better than expected. It really made all my employees open up and get to know each other better. It was also very interactive with a lot of exercises and techniques. We now have learned a structured way how to give feedback to each other and to customers.”

“In all aspects, the training fulfilled and actually exceeded my expectations. Not only the trainer perfectly analysed my weaknesses but was able to suggest personalized tips and tools for getting rid of them and improve my time management. Lies Martens was an amazing, enthusiastic, and clearly very experienced trainer, who addressed each participant individually and was able to make the course flow smoothly for the whole time without losing our attention and interest. This course was a pleasant experience and the attitude of the trainer really motivated me. I will definitely apply the tips in my daily work.”

“The Presentation Techniques course provided me with useful tips and skills to improve my voice and posture. I also gained more insight into how to build a good structure for a presentation. My opinion is clear: everyone who gives professional presentations should take this or a similar course!”

Carl SpelkensXylos

“This course provided some wonderful examples and insights on how we can get more dynamism, spontaneity and creativity through ‘out of the box’ thinking within our company. The training fully met expectations. There was very good interaction in the group and the instructor is a born talent to relay information in a correct, constructive yet open manner. Super course! Highly recommended! ”
