The course was brilliant! Very informative and worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself. Will certainly use the prioritisation tool. The trainer was again, brilliant! Clear, inspiring and engaging.
Lindy Martin
LCTU, University of Liverpool
This was my first virtual training and I found the set up with the green screen/ virtual whiteboard, very organised and presented. The content included a lot of very interesting topics. I was really pleased to attend the course and being given the tools I need to improve my communication skills, not only for work purposes, but beyond that. Both Chris and Marco did a great job delivering the course. The course delivery was very interactive and interesting throughout the whole day, at times eye-opening. I appreciated all the whiteboard notes, having a photographic memory it really helped me a lot to retain the information.

The course content was very comprehensive and covered everything I wanted to learn about and improve upon. I found the content very interesting and look forward to putting it into practice! Gezz is a very thorough trainer and comes across very clear, whilst keeping the attendees interested throughout the two days.
Georgina Macleod
ALMIS International Ltd
Very informative and constructive, carefully planned out presentations. Well timed breaks and a very clear message and objective for each subject. I especially found the time management and planning very beneficial, as well as the SMART and wrong box/right box techniques. This course has not only benefited me as a manager, but also helped me improve as a person. Alison was a very knowledgeable and informative presenter, clearly understanding each members need to be there. An absolute credit to her profession.
Alex Head
The Monro Group - Openmouth Ltd
The course had good structure and pace. Useful consolidation of topics which we can put into context within the company's culture and meetings. The trainer was clear and attentive and tailored the discussions to our needs and additional questions.
John Pelan
Coloplast Ltd
Very informative training. Diagrams and plans will be very useful, as will the decision matrix in helping me to keep focused on my goals and maintain a positive mental attitude. The presenter was also extremely engaging, fast-paced but clear, good interaction and would definitely recommend this course to others.
Mike Lockton
FWJ Legal Limited
Very interesting and useful tips. A lot of new information that I’m sure it will help me to deal with people not only at work but also in personal life. Loads of ideas and content to practise. No pressure put on delegates, very pleasant environment. Charismatic, enthusiastic teacher. It was a pleasure to listen and learn from Marco. Very interesting webinar, loads of different methods of teaching – speeches, group exercises, conversations etc. Ideal candidate for this role.

The course content is practical and adaptable to everyday living – not just work! I am sure that the skills I have learnt will come into immediate use and I urge other new managers to take this course. The trainer’s presentation was fantastic and he delivered the presentation exceptionally. He was helpful, energetic, inspiring and fun.

A fantastic day of in-depth learning on Time Management, Productivity & Effectiveness. Especially found Continuous Improvement diagram & Time Management Matrix very helpful. Brilliant presentation. Thoroughly engaging and deeply knowledgeable able to talk widely around the subject and explain concepts. 100/100
Henry Fleming LTD
Just Farm
Training course content was far more in depth than I imagined and a change to other courses I have been on, which I would say brushed over things compared to the structured detail of this course. The trainer delivered well with good visual aid demonstrations which stuck in my mind well.
Patrick Beebe
Keybury Fire & Security
Fantastic course. Positive. Inspiring. Tackles common but major issues as a leader and manager. Good and practical use of formulas and structures. Chris Farmer (trainer) Very engaging. Kind. ON track. Easy to understand and learn form. Clearly very experience and very good at his job.100/100
Callum Smith
Greenwich Health Ltd
Excellent content. Gave great practical advice and tools to deal with many of the issues faced on a daily basis. In particular the tool to allow quick prioritisation, by value. Chris was an excellent trainer, very good communicator and easy to follow.
Debbie Davies
Binding Site
I found this course useful in summarising key elements of leadership and management qualities, together with using real life situations to demonstrate how to implement those elements. The structure formulae to set goals, deal with problems, create success were also beneficial. The trainer was clear, friendly, succinct and informative.
Rayna Chauhan
Camm-Hooper
Extensive content that was applicable to both professional and personal development, especially associated with time management, prioritisation and emotional management. The trainer was concise and knowledgeable, conscious of the group and how well information was retained. Would definitely recommend the course.
Bob Cott
Eventbrite
I thought the content was very good, with a lot of it relevant to my working environment and in some areas personal. I found the split between the organisational and emotional aspects worked well. I felt the Time Management Matrix, Priority Order Decision Matrix, as well as the future bad/future good in particular, were really useful and engaging. I was very impressed with how the technology worked. The ability to see Chris whilst he was presenting and the interactive drawings were really engaging, particularly compared to the share-screen PowerPoint presentations with someone talking over them that I have experienced in the past.
Oliver Crampton
DB Wood
I was very impressed by the course content. I found all the information very useful and look forward to put this into practice. The trainer's presentation was excellent!! He came across very well and very easy to understand. A true motivator.
Craig Chesters
Longworth and Sons Ltd
The professional development and productivity sections of the course were equally insightful. The simple plans and processes are easy to understand and presented very well. I look forward to putting these into practice within my role. Both Chris and Marco delivered the course materiel seamlessly. They obviously have a passion for training and the knowledge and experience they both share was well received and extremely beneficial. The use of the virtual white board was a great addition. Too many training providers rely on their slide content only to drive the course forward, which can in my experience allow the mind to wander. The presentation remained engaging throughout.

Chris (the trainer) was very polite and kind, we had a good laugh and a wonderful time. 10/10 for demonstrating a clear understanding, not one fault within the whole course
Charlie Brocklebank

I found this course beneficial to know how to successfully conduct an investigation into issues. The tools will enable me to find the correct, factual information. The trainer's presentation was very good, light-hearted and easy to understand. He gave a good insight and tools to assist in investigating.
Lynsey Hanley
Quantum Care
EVERYTHING on this course was beneficial! It was definitely the course I needed. I was worried that it would be a bit dry, or it would be too high level, but everything was made relevant and interesting. It all flowed really well together. Alison is so insightful and interesting. Both days flew by and I want to make it a business case that everyone in my team has this training. The trainer presentation was upbeat, approachable, energetic, interesting, knowledgeable. A thoroughly enjoyable session.
Imogen Sykes
NCRQ
A valuable, well-balanced course which covered the key elements I was looking for; self-improvement to achieve both own and work-related goals. The trainer's presentation was excellent. Thank you for a well planned, full day of thought-provoking exercises. The formulation of individual action plans through the session is valuable and will help make it worthwhile and achievable.
Mary Ahern
Alps
The course content was excellent and gave techniques to use that will certainly be beneficial to me in my future work. It also gave me a more positive outlook to the current work that I have. The training was very well presented, and Chris had a very positive mental attitude and was great to all the delegates.

Carl Burnett

I found this a very well-structured day and enjoyed the difficult topics covered. Making use of examples made the course content active and lively. The trainer's presentation was well prepared, fun and not boring. Conveyed the message across in a good and active manner.
Corinna Biermann
Ranir Ltd
Very detailed course content, not too much 'unnecessary' information. The whole course was very interactive and kept me fully engaged. I was not put on the spot or made to feel uncomfortable. The most beneficial areas for me were: Time management structures (prioritisation by value, Wrong box, right box metho, How to look at/deal with situations – objective vs. subjective Very good, most informative and enjoyable course I have attended. The trainer stuck to timings and gave clear and concise information. I will be recommending this to others and am keen to attend further courses. 100 / 100 – Excellent!”
Katie Hibbs

The course was excellent and I have been able to gain a lot of tools for me to apply to my role and everyday work. Especially enjoyed the planning section and how to deal with conflicts. I look forward to putting them into practice. The trainer's presentation was excellent and kept my attention the whole time. I liked that it was varied and not mundane at all.
Karen Kang

Inspiring and incredibly useful course content delivered with a passion & knowledge of all content areas and is useful particularly use of language and emotional intelligence. I will pledge to use my learning as I do my forward. The presentation was clear, well planned and purposeful!
Dan Barnett
RES Group
I found all the course content very useful, even the topics I didn't think I needed training on. The most beneficial topics were decision making, managing emotions, conflicts and communication. The trainer was very engaging, using a lot of great examples. There was not a boring moment in the two days I attended. He made sure that we left knowing exactly what we needed to work on and how we can implement the changes. Thank you!
Katalin Kurilla
Independent Doctors Federation
Great content. Really interesting and I found all of it beneficial for use in both the workplace and the outside world. Most useful to be given tools to use for all of the theories to put into practice. Trainer (Chris) engaged with his own material, demonstrated his own use of the knowledge he was imparting, great speed (not too quick), kept interest throughout and made it easy to take on board. Excellent trainer.
Donna Quelch
RES Group
The course content was excellent, in particular the conflict management, time management and mindfulness sections. The techniques taught in the course will be of generic great value both in work and personal life. Chris is an excellent presenter, putting a group originally very socially awkward and nervous at ease. Very friendly and puts a positive spin on answers even to difficult questions.
Mark Horne
RDB Concepts
Chris Provided clear, rational, structure to things that have been feelings or rules of thumb until now [Don’t criticise personality, or in public, etc] Defining types of work Q1, Q2, etc. was particularly useful. Most content was framed toward yourself (which is where improvement starts, to be fair). However, for a leadership course, potentially the implication and use for a wider team should be made more explicit.
Charlie Troake-Lindsay
Pythia Sports
The course content was quite detailed, but the presentation broke it down so that it wasn't too daunting. Covered a lot of ground in two days. Really informative. The trainer's presentation was excellent. The best training presentation I have ever seen.
Alison Patrick

Very useful & informative training course. I will be taking several things & implementing them in my own work place & within my management team. The trainer was Clear, concise, practical, very open with clear examples & take aways. lots of conversation prompts.100/100
Hannah Weaver-Lyon

The course content was very informative and relevant to my first steps into a management level role. Lots of tools and information to take away to help me in the job. The trainer's presentation was very good, I felt quite inspired on completion of the course, thank you!
