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.”

“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!”

“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 how to concretely manage my time and set priorities to reduce the stress. The training provided al lot of concrete examples (discussion on actual problems)I and tips. I will select 3 actions points and put this into practice to make this work for me. This course would also be very effective for the entire company.”

“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.”

“This training was very hands-on and sprinkled with examples seized from the employees' daily work environment. This makes the training particularly engaging and immediately applicable in practice. For example, the 'sandwich technique' is used daily when a difficult message needs to be delivered. Highly recommended for anyone who has customer-focused conversations!”

“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.”

“I enrolled in the Assertiveness course to learn to communicate better in difficult situations without clamming up. I became aware that choices can be made, at all times. Especially the DESC model was a real revelation for me. The trainer was very driven and conveyed his insights in an enthusiastic way.”

“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.”
