“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.”

“The trainer was very well prepared (there was an online intake beforehand with our questions and expectations), clearly had a lot of experience and was really empathetic. She managed to identify our communication problems very quickly and proposed concrete solutions. I was really very surprised and satisfied with the output of this training. Top!”

“I wanted to learn to write emails in an even more customer-friendly way. In addition, it was important to get the necessary tools to write texts for the web and for newsletters in a creative way. This expectation was completely fulfilled thanks to the useful tips and the practical exercises. I still take the syllabus with me when I write texts.”

“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!”

“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.”
