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.

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
I found the course content relates a lot to a lot of what I felt I already knew, which clearly did not. All aspect where really helpful. Especially having to deal with conflict, which I’ve not had experience in the workplace to date. Chris was Brilliant! Very precise and clear of what he was trying to get across and what is expected of me.
Steve Devlin
Oldham Seals Ltd
The course content was excellent. An enjoyable course, very thought-provoking and informative. Lots of information compacted into a short time, with good notes to refer back to. The trainer's presentation was excellent. Well presented and kept everyone focused. One of the best courses I have attended.
Nick Hills
International Greetings UK Ltd
The course was very informative. I have experienced similar courses before, like SMART, but this was much more cohesive. Very useful in joining the dots and at least confirming that I have the basics that I can continue to build on. The trainer was very good, a bit quirky in parts, precise and demonstrative.
Alison Walker
Stroud District Council
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
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
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.

The Course was really good with lots of lessons and techniques which will help me with my development. The way the techniques were taught meant it was easy to understand and pick up. The notes provided are good for future reference. I have already had to use several of the techniques we learnt which I would not have known how to handle certain situations before I attended the course. Chris was polite, very approachable and informative, he engaged with us and included us as more of an open discussion type of training, which is how I personally learn best. I couldn't have asked for more from the training, I got out of it exactly what I needed.

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.

The course content has give me a better insight into the way I would like to be perceived as both a colleague and a manager. The trainer, Chris, came highly recommended and I hope to act on everything he has taught me over the coming weeks, months and years. Thank you.
Ben Jones
IBS Schools (WCC)
This training course was just what I was looking for. The captions noted at the back of the book throughout the day have been exceptionally helpful. The training day has been enjoyable with lots of interaction. As an introvert this is a huge step in my development. Timings were kept, and the trainer was helpful answering various questions during the day.
Claire Jones
Solace
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
Gateway Housing
The course was a great combination of practical tips and also psychology; the reasons why we do the things we do and what affects our decisions. I thought it would be a little boring, but it totally exceeded my expectations. Really interesting and kept my attention throughout. The trainer was awesome! His background gave me confidence that he knew what he was talking about. He was very direct, clear and concise. When people asked questions, he gave clear definitive answers with no room for misinterpretation.
Charlotte Howard
Product Madness (UK) 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
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
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

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.
Matthew McCusker
The Binding Site Group UK
Excellent content and each element valuable to my role. This training will be beneficial for both work and home life. The presentation was excellent. Chris new the presentation inside and out with great detail behind each element.
Colin Overall
Country Broadband
I found all the content useful, educational and thought provoking. There are several areas that I will use in my day-to-day such as ‘wrong box, right box’, better time management and how to empower others by being positive or reframing a situation. Chris (trainer) was energetic, engaging and knowledgeable. I have attended many bad training sessions over the years, this was not one of them!
Simon Nobel
Fusion Global Business Solutions
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
Purple Dragon
The course was very well run, and the content was very engaging. It was a good balance of content across the two days. I have attended a number of these, and I would/will recommend this. Trainer's presentation: Excellent style and engaging all around. Great rapport with the class. Never an easy task to present to a room of professionals, but Chris pulled it off.
Paul Lycett
OX Tools
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
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 really enjoyed this course. The trainer was fantastic, very positive energy and extremely engaging and knowledgeable. The printed training book had good visuals and wording, it was easy to understand. The course covered all the relevant topics, nothing was unnecessary. I learned a lot over the two days and have already been able to put some of those skills into practice. I did come away feeling more confident.
Joanne Cook
Q-Lab Europe LTD
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.
Jessica Pickford
Crown Gas and Power
Really found it all beneficial, from the learnings of clear, rational, positive emotions and how to use it within day to day time management. Thank you very much! Trainer’s presentation was fabulous, very clear and extremely well knowledged. 100/100
Libby Pattley
Just Farm LTD
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
The Binding Site Group Ltd
I thoroughly enjoyed the two-day training course. It was informative and allowed me to be open minded and think from another perspective. The content with examples is relatable and I am now able to bring back to the company and share with others. The presentation was very informative: - The temples are clear and concise, easy to understand. - Chris is a great trainer and was engaging – made me feel comfortable and willing to learn and listen. - Great character, very funny, kind.
Alessandra De-Guia
Panasonic UK
The course content was excellent and very detailed. I found the time management section very useful and lots of new methods to help me be better organised. I found the emotions section very interesting and a great way to approach the issues. Chris was an excellent trainer, very clear and worked at a good pace.
Hannatu Gentles
TY Danjuma Family Office 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.
James Topping
Apax Partners
The course content was outstanding. Each topic was presented in a logical sequence, building effectively on the previous one. I encountered some impressive models that were entirely new to me, as well as some familiar ones that were presented with fresh perspectives, prompting deeper reflection. The presentation was excellent, with everything clearly visible and easy to grasp. The presenter's skills were exceptional—important information was effectively reiterated, connections were made seamlessly, and the use of hand gestures and clear speech enhanced the delivery. This is the best course I have attended. I had never seen a green screen used in a training course before, and it was truly impressive. It immediately caught my attention as a unique approach. Watching the board being written on in real-time was nothing short of genius.
Jay Wyke
Tradebyte
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
Mach Recruitment
The course was extremely helpful, I really enjoyed the whole content. I found particularly helpful and will implement in my day to day work: Conflict management – rational objective language; 8 Part SMART questions; Time management matrix. Chris’ presentation was very informative, polite and friendly; very knowledgeable. Chris did not lose momentum or seem to lag, or become tired during the two days.
Misbah Nareen
Carbogen Amcis Ltd
I thought the course was very informative and Chris the instructor was superb! He kept the class engaged and on point the entire course. What I found most beneficial was the systematic approach that were modelled for each topic defined. Also the “mock” scenarios were very helpful in thinking in a “real life” situation, whilst also being able to apply what we were shown and also be able to see it actually work. Leading will bring clear, reasonable and having a positive attitude.
