Excellent content and presentation. Factual, informative and helpful. This training will help greatly when dealing with various situations within the workplace. The training presentation was brilliant; well described, with great examples where necessary. Informative and helpful. Many thanks

I must admit I was somewhat cynical at first "why do I need this, done things like this before." It was soon evident that I was picking up new ideas. Since the course I have been re-reading the notes as I want to retain as much as possible of what I learnt. It is a fact with most courses I never pick up the notes again. But I have every intention of revisiting and embedding the information from this course into my mind. I cannot praise Chris and the course content enough, so many thanks.

The course content was very relevant and well structured. Flowed extremely well from one topic to the next so that you were left with a coherent series of techniques to apply in both the workplace and wider life. The trainer's presentation was very engaging, well informed and inspiring. A friendly and approachable presenter, who was positive about areas people wanted to develop and focus on and did not make them feel uncomfortable for admitting these weaknesses.

This leadership and management course was phenomenal. To understand the basics of "Be clear, Be rational, Be positive" to understand not the ‘But why’ in the past ‘But why’ in the future. Delegate tasks and the emotion is a big factor. Not only does Chris (trainer) have an amazing voice, but he was fantastic. Opened my eyes in understanding the insight to management and went through points in detail with enthusiasm.

I found the content interesting and believe that I can use it to improve myself both personally and professionally, especially conflict management, delegation and time management. The presentation was very good. The Trainer was engaging and the information was in-depth but easy to understand.

The course content was very good! Easy to follow and concise. Loved the diagrams and the various quotes. Punchy wording that stays with you! Loved the idea of summarising thoughts on back pages. The trainer's presentation was excellent! Fantastic use of humour to explain the concepts that are not easy to convey. Very good 'illustrative' technique. Explains fantastically through use of examples.

I found the course to be very informative giving me a way to structure and deal with situations in the workplace and life. A great work book easy to understand and digest. Marco is a fantastic communicator. Very well presented and professional with a great balance of humour and factual learning. 10/10

I found the course to be packed full of useful, well thought-through, and well-practiced information. I particularly liked the modules on time management and handling difficult conversations. The trainer's methods reinforced his points very successfully. I believe I will retain more from this course than I have from other courses.

The course was very helpful and has taught me many ways to improve not only myself, but the team around me. It is very easy to learn from the detailed, yet simple explanations. Chris is an awesome teacher, he is very thorough with his explanations and made the course very relatable.
Matthew Jones
Midland Building Products Ltd
I found the course content incredibly interesting and very informative. Everything seemed very common sense based, but not something you immediately think about until it's in front of you. I found most benefit from the psychology of language in terms of conflict and conversation. Chris was a fantastic presenter. Incredibly engaging and made sure everything was clearly understood. It was very easy to follow with Chris' explanations

The course was professionally presented and well paced, with materials that made the learning easier. The trainer's presentation was excellent! The trainer was professional and knowledgeable about the subject material. Responsive to questions and scenarios and also helpful.
Robert Simpson

The course content suited me as it pointed out the ways I could make my own attitude more positive, which would allow me to pass on that positivity to my colleagues. This should ensure a happier more productive working environment. I felt the trainer was excellently prepared. It wasn't a 'classroom' situation and humour was incorporated leading to a stress-free, enjoyable course.
Anthony Krogulec
KCH Garden Square
I found the two-day course really valuable and has helped me to have a clearer focus. The techniques and tips will make a positive difference. In particular the success formula and wrong box/ right box. Chris, the trainer, was outstanding, very engaging, clear, rational and positive.
Mo Ali

I found the course to be extremely detailed and we were able to cover a lot in a very short space of time without being overwhelmed due to the well structured course. I enjoyed the role plays and learning about all of the different models - very informative! Well structured, easy to follow and very interesting! Lots of different techniques for learning which kept it stimulating. 100/100
Nicole Peters

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.

I am genuinely excited and motivated to take what I’ve learnt from this course into the every day, especially for myself and work. Wrong box / right box Handling emotions and discussing tricky topics Content was all relatable Too much to list here - everything was informative + beneficial. The trainer’s presentation was Excellent, presented in ‘bite-size’ information clearly believes in what he’s delivering Commands attention in what could be a disruptive group! Getting everyone to write down as well as take part, broke up the training which helped to retain information. 100/100
Lana Blackwell
Mach Recruitment
Course content was excellent covering some really valuable topics in a good amount of detail with practical tools and methods that will be easy to implement without overloading us with too much information. Virtual presentation was excellent, the trainers were clear and gave a good balance of presenting and allowing discussion/ prompting for answers and input from the delegates. I really like the combination of the power point slides, the PDF workbook, and the digital white board used by both trainers.

A great synopsis of do’s and don’ts and toolbox for leadership and professional development, thoughtfully and methodically presented, with validation of learning at each stage. Passionate anecdotal presentation which draws positive enthusiasm from course attendees. Thank you.

This training course really helped me structure my thoughts and realise how to implement basic strategies into my work, for the better of my team and me. Also, it has helped me not just with work, but about how to balance my general mindset and how to keep positive. The trainer was really good at keeping everyone engaged and interested, whilst teaching us valuable life tips.

This course was great! It was amazing to see and process thoughts into frameworks to help understand. Chris was amazing at presenting. He was clear with his delivery and used real-life examples to help illustrate points.
Yazmin Rahman

Very good and informative course, with the right amount of time allocated. It provided useful insights and ideas to apply in my job and helped me analyse ways to move forward in various situations. Great presentation, effectively using visuals with flipcharts to facilitate conversations and ideas. It was helpful to have a detailed workbook to take away, as well as to add to during the two days.
Mel Devereux
Stroud District Council
Course content was fantastic! So much valuable and usable information. Best course I've been on in five years. Will revisit monthly until it sticks and is applied. Trainer's presentation: Delivered with energy and belief. Was inspiring. Trained in a way to aid remembering key point eg models. Liked the idea of summary page of key points at the back of book.
Matt Kingswood
ASDA
Training course content was clear, concise and surprisingly unrushed, as two days condensed into one. Useful area on separation of objective and subjective. Also interesting conflict management, wrong box, right box. Good reminder of smart technique. Trainer's presentation kept delegates engaged, off the phone/ laptop, which is rare. Interesting delivery of what could be a heavy area.
Tracey Redfern
Fast React Systems Ltd
The course content was great and I found the conflict resolution and distinguishing feedback from insults super insightful. I also really appreciate all the tips and advice about delegation and task planning which I will be taking back to use. The presentation made the content really come to light and made is easy to understand. The trainer was super insightful with tips and tricks to use in real life situations. I really appreciate all the knowledge this course has given me.
Jess Vaughan

Fantastic course content. Learnt an awful lot I had not previously considered. In particular the 'WhatsNext' for prioritisation, such a simple process to prioritise tasks. Both Marco and Chris were fantastic. I was dubious about joining a virtual training course; however, it exceeded my expectations! Both were informative, friendly and could tell both were passionate about the training they provided. I really liked how the technology used to deliver the course was used. I was unsure how this course would work virtually but really enjoyed it and I learnt a lot due to the layout and presentations on Teams.
Christopher Barrett
Market Dojo
The models and toolkits are practical takeaways, which I can clearly see how to implement my team going forward. The content was all relevant. Interesting and engaging delivery, personable and made the two days enjoyable. Made me feel relaxed and able to give my feedback and comments within the group.
Lauren Wilson
IR Magazine
I found the course very helpful and beneficial for the future, especially the parts communication, conflict, positive emotions. I would perceive this course as beneficial for other colleagues as well. The trainer's presentation was very engaging and motivating, high level of professionalism. Allows questions and provides immediate answers.
Michael Giss
EvoBus UK Ltd
Course content was very detailed, clear and covered a wide range of topics, some I have not considered when thinking about supervisor skills. Most beneficial to me were the parts on communication and conflict. I also found myself challenging my own thoughts on time management still, which I thought I was strong on. Some very good tips and ideas. Chris was extremely clear, encouraging and very engaging. He made the course fun and easy to follow.
Rhiannon Grant
Meteor Communications
Course content was highly beneficial. Some aspects I was aware of and use, but also new methods learnt that I will look to practice, ie 6 step method and emotional danger zone. Chris was amazing. He presented in a fun and enticing way, interesting and thorough.
Emma Allin
Turbine Surface Technologies Ltd
The course content was appropriate and engaging to the audience. The key areas of consideration I found to be on point with my own development. The trainer was knowledgeable and engaging. Taking note of peoples' conversations and including them in his own explanations.
Matt Reader

I really benefitted from the wrong box/right box technique as I find it difficult to deal with conflict constructively. The Trainer was very clear, concise and his knowledge of subject was inspiring. Was glad it wasn't death by PowerPoint!
