The course content was perfect, with detailed notes that interlinked with the full two-day presentation, including interaction throughout. The trainer was planned and prepared. He presented based on course notes fluently with no need to refer to notes. Maintained focus and attentiveness for full two days.

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.
Laura Stephen
Stroud District Council
Course content was good. There are several elements I will take away and add to my personal action plan. I particularly like the idea of the task matrix to prioritise on a 'look ahead' weekly basis. The trainer was very professional and helpful and able to engage all attendees who come from varying backgrounds.

I found this conflict course really useful, particularly highlighting the importance of using objective language when in conflict situations and the model 'six steps' for managing complaints as this is something that presents as a manager. I also found the 'wrong box, right box' method useful, removing the emotion. The presentation was really well prepared, the manual is particularly useful as I can use this to refer back too.

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
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.

- Comprehensive suite of content with a great holistic flow and connection. - Plenty of unique aspects – not just ‘run of the mill’ tools. - Everything I learned will be applicable in the future of my business to myself and the people I work with. - The models were beneficial but seeing and practising application made it stick and made it relevant. - Every section had beneficial take home points. Chris (trainer) was a fantastic presenter, really knowledgeable and experienced. He allowed for tangential conversation were beneficial and made the content relevant to each of us. Good feature of splitting common points out into positive actions “we will / are” statements. Going through diagrams on the flipcharts was a good way to double digest the concepts. 100/100

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.

ASK Development Ltd
I found the 8 Part SMART, Conflict Management and Continuous Improvement Cycle to be the most beneficial parts of this training course. In relation to the trainer's presentation, I enjoyed how both days were done via flip chart. The trainer knew what he was talking about. Very interactive and personal. The trainer and training content definitely exceeded my expectations. I will refer this course to my colleagues. Best training course I have attended.
Sarah Brisley
Eurofins Professional Scientific Services
I found the course interesting and very interactive, Even though I had done this course previously the Right Box/Wrong Box really stood out today in the course, which I will definitely be using in the future. Excellent presentation by the trainer.100/100
Adam Jones
Jakemans Confectioners Ltd.
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.

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
Every single element of this course was incredibly beneficial! A lot of information and tools I have been looking to harness for years, all put in one session, GREAT! Very interactive too and broken up. Amazing and Engaging presentation. Really important and helpful when challenging peoples mind sets. Something I try to do as a manager but have failed! Good for everyone to hear those thoughts from someone externally.
Katy Le Lion
University College London
I found this course very useful and feel I have learnt quite a lot of useful information on how to conduct myself and my staff to improve things. The trainer came across very well and explained the course in a lot of depth and helped me understand things clearly.
Tina Canning
ECCO Safety Group
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 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 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.
Nicholas King
The Binding Site
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 found the course very useful and relevant. Techniques are really interesting, some of which I used but didn't realise. Lots more will be very useful moving forward. Covering lots in the two days. Great that it is useful for both work and home life. Liked the specific examples that we could relate to. The trainer's presentation was very inspirational, enthusiastic, lots of energy, passionate.
Judy Andrews
Whippet
The course content was very interesting; lots covered and all linked together well. Really helpful for a wide range of professional development and good, straight forward tools to use again and teach others. Trainer's presentation was very clear; good amount of interaction without putting anyone on the spot (which would make attendees feel awkward).
Beth Rivers
The Art Fund
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 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
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
Really enjoyed Right Box, Wrong Box for dealing with conflict, it will prevent me getting emotionally involved. Smart Goals will be beneficial for my Quarterly performance reviews along with remaining factual when dealing with negative behaviours. Good delivery of the course content and open discussions for all formulas – Marco made sure all examples was relevant for the varying students. 10/10
Ryan Clegg
Edge Electrical Solutions LTD
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
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
The course covered a lot of topics which were well explained, with good examples that kept all of the delegates engaged in the course right to the end. Lots of ideas that need to be applied to my day job. The trainer was able to control the delegates well. Many large and different personalities in the room so not an easy job. The use of the flip chart, projector and laptop was good. Overall a great day.
Sue Durnall
Acora
The whole content of the course was very useful in my day to day work. The techniques explained can be used in leading my team. I came to understand the areas where I need to improve myself. The trainers Presentation was Excellent. Easy to understand each and every topic covered.
Asamy Rushdy
Maldives Tourism Development Corporation Ltd
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!
Nic Ostacchini
The Manual London
The content was very useful and relevant and included a lot of interactive elements to keep you interested and focused. I like the idea of the summary points and quotes at the back of the manual, that we wrote down each day. Alison delivered the course to perfection. I have never been in a course led by someone so engaging and with such presence, without being domineering or intimidating
Jade Leong
UHY Hacker Young LLP
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
The course content I found to be really interesting, with learning various theories into why and how we do as humans what we do. I really found the priority quadrant useful and will be beneficial, also the 8 success Qs. Chris's presentation was really good, and I found it very articulate and easy to understand. 100/100
Gemma Bentley
Doocey Group
The course is very interesting and it covers a new area in communication that is not taught in undergraduate classes. It is beneficial because it deals with understanding the process of communication. It improves skills in written and practical communication processes. Trainer's Presentation is excellent. He has a deep knowledge of the content, and he used the simplest teaching technique to achieve results. I am highly impressed.
Oyelami Adesoye Falusi
Lagos State Government, Nigeria
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
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
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
