The course content was very good, clear and interesting. Feel like I have a lot of tools in my tool box! The trainer was fun, friendly and a delight. His presentation was easy to understand, engaged in getting to know us. Felt at ease to talk openly.

I found each section extremely useful as they were each well organised, linked together and complimented each other. I feel I have learnt valuable skills for the workplace and my own personal life. Chris (trainer) is fantastic - super engaging, thoughtful with scenarios and responses and overall a very good teacher.
Soffia Cahill
Brainbox Ltd
The course content was fascinating and very relevant to me. Encouraged me to review my positives and negatives but importantly provided clear instruction on tools and models to enhance my personal and professional development: Brilliant. The trainers presentation was first class, well delivered, informed, relevant and with the right energy and use of language.
Nathan Cook
Cable Management Products
Brilliant course. Very detailed and visual. Key points delivered well and in the right way to be able to remember down the road. Perhaps our industry is a little too reactive for some of it, but there are certainly things that I will use. Very engaging, positive delivery.

Mach Recruitment
I thought the content was great; really inspiring. I learnt a lot about the value of objective vs subjective communication and how I can start to apply more logical thinking/reasoning. Trainer was fantastic, very engaging throughout, good use of whiteboard and despite it being a whole day he managed to hold my attention all the way through. Great session held virtually, with interactive workbook.
Manisha Koner
Mondelez International
Really informative with lots of practical tips, especially around how to communicate better—whether that’s inspiring others or giving feedback. The app and online tools were a great bonus. Chris was super knowledgeable and easy to relate to, and the personal stories really helped bring the ideas to life.
Peter Spencer
Western Pegasus
The course material and additional resources were really helpful. Even though the course was online, it was still really interactive and I now feel I have some great tools to work with. I would recommend this course. Chris was a terrific trainer! His energy was great and I felt motivated to remain engaged throughout. He was knowledgeable and gave helpful explanations and clear answers to questions. It was great to have Chris physically in front of you, engaging and discussing key points while also using the interactive whiteboard to illustrate key points. There was a good balance of slides, interactive whiteboard and discussion.

I found this course very interesting and it touched on every daily activity within my new role as a manager. The trainer was calm and collect and also very knowledgeable throughout. Chris made the course easy to follow and enjoyable. His hard work made this the most enjoyable and worthwhile course I have attended.
Matt Roberts
Evoke Creative
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
Fantastic course content. I loved the booklet/ manual; I wish other courses had such comprehensive notes to take away. Brilliant methodologies, tools and frameworks to take away and apply to my work, and home life. Really motivating and inspiring content. The trainer’s presentation: Chris and Gez are both great presenters. In particular Chris had great in-depth knowledge of the content, and had good answers to questions. Also had a really inspirational way of presenting. And was happy for challenging questions.
Navdeep Sidhu

Very good, targeted at right level. Interesting and applicable to working here. Well-structured through both days. Good blend of humour, interaction and review. Material good quality and useful for reference. Chris was very professional, knew the subject matter and made the course very enjoyable. Thanks.
Ian Hayward
The Heart of England Forest
I have attended a few courses in the past and this one is by far the best. It has got a very well-defined structure and lots of useful information. The most useful content was to do with dealing with people in conflict situations: wrong box / right box and success formula. Very clear presentation and good, relevant examples. Did not drift off the point. Was easy to keep focus on.
Alina Krutikovaite
The Binding Site
The course content was interesting, and I found it very useful and motivating. I have learnt a lot and feel confident about putting this into practise. Chris is a very good trainer, who kept my interest and attention throughout the course. Good use of personal anecdotes brought real life situations into the learning.
Carole Ball
Diagnostic Healthcare Ltd
I really benefited from annotating the course material, as it helped me stay engaged with the content. The tools and techniques provided were incredibly helpful, and I plan to implement and develop them further in my work over time. Chris delivered a very professional, well-timed, and structured course. He was very positive and inspiring. Thank you.
Kimberley Read
Stroud District Council
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
The course was exceptionally useful, full of information that I just would not have associated with these aspects. Has made me really rethink how I need to improve myself and move myself forward, also a little daunting. Also allowing me to help others is a powerful tool. The trainer was very good, interactive, light and not intense, personable. Came across that he really wanted to help and empower the individual.
Chris Owen
PAYE
This was an excellent practical course. It was a 'Breath of fresh air' to attend a training session that gives you useful tools rather than psychological 'fluff'. The trainer's presentation was very good. Managed to keep the audience interested at all times. Time flew by.
Sophie Brouillet
AMOT
It was the best of this type of course I’ve attended. I found all elements beneficial, particularly conflict management and the success concept. It was a perfect balance of teaching vs interaction, with a nice touch of humour. I didn’t nod off once, Chris engaged me 100% for the full two days. I’m looking forward to applying what I’ve learnt and would highly recommend this course.
Angela Appleby
Royal College of Psychiatrists
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.
Djavan Silva
Hotcam TV
An excellent course. This is something all employees should receive BEFORE or IMMEDIATELY AFTER moving to a supervisory/managerial role. Contains lots of useful info, also for general life. The trainer was engaging, maintained interest of the group. Good explanations of the content, in easy to understand terms.
Phil Stubbs
The Binding Site Group Ltd
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
Datasource Recruitment
The course was fast-paced, interesting, interactive, well-structured, and useful. I found the leading suggestions on what to write in the action plan very beneficial. Clear, great use of visual aids, diagrams, drawings, hand gestures, repetition of important statements.
Sarah Wood
YMCA England & Wales
Extremely well planned and conducted, information is valuable to use on day to day work practices. Appreciate and live life on a positive note. Respect others and build a better environment around me. Add value to the circumstances I am in. The trainer’s presentation: Great role model, inspirational and positive, has definitely improved overall vibe. 100/100
Emoke Mihai

The training course could not have been better for me! Content was extremely relevant and context was spot on! Diagrams, processes and exercises were clear and accessible and I enjoyed every part. The trainer’s presentation was excellent for my learning style: fast paced, visual and course material were very good. Chris was very professional.
Hannah Ginn
Langley House Trust
Course content was very inspiring. Information provided very useful and completely in line with our business. Grateful for all tips and tricks, I will do my best to apply them in my position. The Trainer (Chris) speaks very clearly, I was able to understand everything (I am French). He spreads very positive energy and shares his knowledge with passion.
Fouade Amara
Sunborn London Yacht Hotel
Great content! Really well explained. The use of fact when dealing with conflict. 8 SMART Goals. To be clear, rational and positive. Chris was fantastic, really enthusiastic, engaging. Made it very easy to understand and learn from his theories.
Razak Malik
Policywave
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
It was a very beneficial course throughout the two days. I found the conflict section particularly helpful but feel there is something from every section that I can put into practice. Chris was very good and kept the course on track. He was clear, thorough, and gave plenty of real-life examples. He kept to timings extremely well
Matt Stirling
York Racecourse
Hugely valuable, I have gained insights and tools to equip myself to hopefully aid in becoming a better leader. I feel I need to read more course content soon to imbed my understanding. Trainer presentation was brilliant! Kept us going. Hugely knowledgeable and entertaining. Fantastic presentation. Inspirational!
Carrie Lomax
Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine
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
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
I had a wonderful experience with such a learning oriented course. It was really beneficial for me in terms of managing conflict, directing and delegating the tasks, setting about the priority of tasks effectively. Gezz is unique trainer I must say, equipped with wonderful expertise and practical examples both for professional and personal life`s relevancy.
Sameera Rasheed
ASK Development Ltd
The content was amazing, I learnt a lot of good advice and information. I especially enjoyed the conflict resolution and emotions parts. There were a lot of techniques that will be very useful to me in the future. It was clear, straight to the point and very engaging. Marco (facilitator) was absolutely amazing, very well-spoken and engaging. He made sure we all participated and brought our energy levels up when needed. Very professional and clearly enjoys his job. A great trainer. 100/100
Marta Ignatowicz
Ovis Coffees
The course content was very detailed, informative and useful for everyday life and working life. Practical solutions to problems, how to organise and use time wisely and also role play for conflict management. This course doesn't just inform you on why you should do these things to be a better manager, but also how, which is so important. I really liked that it was all based on a positive mind set, encouragement and 'How to get the best from yourselves and others'. I think everyone regardless of their role could learn something from this course.
Daniella Steenbergen
The Salon at Maxy Farm
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.
Veronika Wozniak
Private
The content was very thorough and was just enough for a day course. It covered many areas but still remained focused on key areas of professional development. Marco was an absolute star, so helpful and kept me on track and focussed. I cannot fault the delivery of the presentation at all. Had never seen the tech before, so was really impressed, allowed me to be more engaged. I didn't even look at my mobile phone all day!
