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.

Everything in the course was hugely beneficial, valuable and essential for a person's ability to improve themself, their mindset and how that can be applied into their life outside of work. I wish this was taught in schools, it's extremely essential and life-changing. Fantastic presentation all round, both visibly, interactively and easy to understand and digest, which makes it easier to practice and implement. I loved that there were multiple ways of remembering important points (diagrams, lists, mind maps, pictures) and using our own body to physically absorb and remember the points that were made. Thank you so much Chris, I know this will literally change my life for the better!

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.

Q-Lab Europe LTD
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.

The course content was very informative and detailed, relatable and useful. Easy to understand and absorb the information as well as enjoyable and entertaining. Will certainly be implementing the methods/rules learnt today in my working and personal environment. The trainer was professional, enthusiastic and understandable. His method of training allowed me to remember/absorb all the details.

I learnt new techniques on how to handle difficult conversations/situations that gives me a tool how to change the outcomes. I am a positive, self-motivated person in general and the course reminded me that these are great values and gave me directions where to improve. The Trainer Marco, is a role model. He is handling situations how everyone dreams to handle them. He, and the course material, inspired me to keep growing as a manager and an individual.
Kristina Hollosy

The course was very motivating, with the right level of content, delivered in digestible sections. Conflict management - wrong box/right box, this has never been covered in much detail in other internal courses. Trainer was smart and professional, knowledgeable, experienced and friendly.
Danielle Williams

Excellent content, covered many issues I have come across in my new role. I feel more confident on how to deal with conflict and prioritising workload. The trainer's presentation was really clear and helpful and made me feel really comfortable. I am walking out of this training course feeling a better person. Thank you, Alison.
Carol Coleman

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

I feel really positive. The course was extremely comprehensive and very interactive. It's a rare course where I would be happy to keep going at the end of the day. Lots of good, practical tools to use. Will look forward to applying it. Manual is good, well-structured and clear to follow. The trainer was highly engaging, motivating, knowledgeable and encouraging. Kept to time well, open to questions and challenge. Really enjoyed the two days.
Cassandra Cameron

The course was brilliant. I especially liked the decision-making matrix and the past/future emotions chart. I've learnt a lot about how I work personally and how to try to better myself as a person. The trainer was energetic, to the point, clear and put his ideas across in a memorable way. I didn’t feel bored or disinterested at any point. Thank you Chris!
Emma Price

I have learnt how to organise my work list in a way that is constructive and productive. To focus on the use of objective language. I found the section on conflict resolution very helpful. The 8 Smart plan and success formula is something I look forward to implementing. The trainer executed the presentation with excellence. His knowledge on the subject and obvious passion filtered through and I was hooked from day one. I cannot praise him enough! Thank you
Sameera Dhan

The course content was well structured, rich in tools, techniques, examples to increase productivity, healthy management and support others and ourselves to achieve. Lots of diagrams, moderately paces (not too fast or too slow, just right!) and very informative. I think there is a great deal I can use in my day to day life – personal and professional.
Kirsty Gurm
St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity
The course content was concise and practical as related to my business. It contained information that I had not seen in 48 years in the business world. The trainer's presentation was straightforward, understandable, relevant and well structured.
David E Reynolds

Really useful and practical, drawing on plenty of real world examples. Provided plenty of guidance for dealing with a range of situations. Useful to hear of examples from other industrial sectors. Will prove very useful for organising my time and priorities. Trainer was very clear and had a good pace. Never felt rushed or too slow. One of the best courses I’ve been on.
David Killick
Eurofins Professional Scientific Services
I found all of this course beneficial, both personally and professionally. I found the practical tools for work organisation particularly useful; identifying where I loose time; tools to be less overwhelmed; how to manage my time more effectively. The trainer was an excellent communicator, very knowledgeable with relevant examples.
Sandjea Green
Solace Women's Aid
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.
James Burns
G.R. Lane Health Products
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

Chris’ teaching was incredibly captivating, insightful and easy to follow. The use of real-world analogy and diagrams made it easy to visualise subject matter I had not seen before. I feel able to begin implementing the processes immediately and look forward to growing with this new learning. Chris’ presentation made a 2-day course feel entertaining and memorable. I Would Recommend!

David Taylor

The course was really interesting and very useful. It has helped to reinforce things that I am already doing well, but has offered lots of solutions, strategies and ideas for areas I really need to improve. The materials provided are very good and I will use to refer back to on my return to work. The trainer was excellent. She had a lot to cover and did this in an understandable way. She knows her stuff and was confident and engaging. Thanks so much.
Michelle Wilkins

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

I thought the course to be beneficial to both myself and the company as a whole. I particularly learned a lot through the Edison success theory. The Trainer, Chris Farmer, explained in detail, clearly and delivered very well using practical examples. Brilliant!
Shaun Barrett
Midland Building Products Ltd
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

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!
Graeme Varney
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
Thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening, I hadn't previously considered the impact of time management in the way the course was written and delivered. I learnt a lot to consider that I hadn't previously. The Trainer was very positive, personable and knowledgeable throughout the day. Very engaging - post lunch slump never came!
Jo Jones
Cheshire Fire Service
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
The course was brilliant, very informative and the tools gained to use in my workplace will be invaluable. Well worth it on all levels and will recommend to others. The trainer was fantastic, clear, precise and easily understood. It was a pleasure to be a part of this. Thank you so much.
Angela Chapman
VDEF (St John's Shopping Centre)
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 was very considered and raised points that will be very useful in future negotiations. There were elements that had not occurred to me which was what I was hoping for from today. The trainer was great. He was clear in his presentation and was also a good listener. The flow was good and the day went very quickly.
Cara Davies
Scout Stores
I thought the technology was great! Really interactive and let us see in more detail what the leader was saying. Excellent use of green screen or whatever it was. Really informative, very thorough and gave enough chance to take notes. Good separation of content into understandable and logical areas. I gained a lot of insight and felt welcomed and encouraged throughout. Great imparting of knowledge from Marco and Chris, super friendly and talkative. Their approach made it easy for me to follow and learn. Thank you so much!
Rebecca Edwards
Arebyte Gallery
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.
Sigurds Dauksts
Mach Recruitment
I found all aspects of the two-day course beneficial, particularly the 'Right Box / Wrong Box' method for dealing with conflict. The content was extremely useful and will be something I can apply in both my work and personal life moving forward. Chris was engaging and well-paced in his teaching, effectively instilling methods for remembering the 'Toolkit' processes.
