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.

I found all the course content useful across all topics and will apply a number of these models in real-life world. Presentation was excellent throughout. Well structured, well planned and well delivered. Interactive and engaging. Thanks Chris!
Kristie Sanderson

The course content was excellent with useful, concise management techniques that I have never been tutored in. I will be able to put to use all of the course content. Chris presented the course in a friendly and professional manner, with personal stories. This made the two days very engaging and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Excellent course, easily the best training I have ever received. Gave practical tools for dealing with a number of management requirements. The trainer was consistent and easy to follow.
David Taylor
Binding Site
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
The Binding Site
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
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.

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.

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'm impressed by quality of materials. They were not vague, but very specific, not boring, not what you usually hear on typical training. I really appreciated referral SMART model and structure how to keep positive attitude at tough times. Chris (trainer) is passionate, positive and very respectful individual. I felt engaged from first second of the course. I really appreciated the guidance on written notes. 100! /100
Klaudia Zogala-Harcik
Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA)
I found this course useful in summarising key elements of leadership and management qualities, together with using real life situations to demonstrate how to implement those elements. The structure formulae to set goals, deal with problems, create success were also beneficial. The trainer was clear, friendly, succinct and informative.

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)
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.
Debbie Davies
Binding Site
The content was broad and covered a great deal of ground. However there was always time to ask questions and gain further clarity. I've enjoyed every minute! Enthusiastic and dynamic style. Extremely personable and very encouraging. Fabulous!
Kym Routledge
Westbury Academy
The course contained some very interesting concepts, of which I can apply immediately to my role and that of my team. A lot of information in the two days so I will definitely review the handbook to ensure I put as much into practice as possible. Chris was extremely engaging and knowledgeable, his style and humour made the delivery interesting with some excellent examples of methods in practice.
Emily Thomas-Hey
International Greetings UK 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
3 Sided Cube
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
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!
Lily Sawyer
Createmaster 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
Will Hume-Humphreys
Guinness World Records
The course contained lots of interesting topics that were all relevant to my job role. All topics were explained in lots of detail, with great strategies to remember them. The trainer's presentation was great, with use of both personal case studies and from the group, ensured we were all engaged. The training media and training manual, made the two days engaging and interactive.
Laureen Doyle-Henson
Neptune
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
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.
Mike Geary
City in the Community Foundation - Manchester City Football Club
EVERYTHING on this course was beneficial! It was definitely the course I needed. I was worried that it would be a bit dry, or it would be too high level, but everything was made relevant and interesting. It all flowed really well together. Alison is so insightful and interesting. Both days flew by and I want to make it a business case that everyone in my team has this training. The trainer presentation was upbeat, approachable, energetic, interesting, knowledgeable. A thoroughly enjoyable session.
Imogen Sykes
NCRQ
The course contained a lot of content with good formulas/diagrams to make it easy to remember. Plenty of examples to help identify with each element. Use of practice and writing notes helped focus the mind and memorise elements. The trainer's presentation was very interactive and thought-provoking. Good sense of humour to keep all delegates interested. Held delegates attention by asking for delegates own comments. Summarised frequently.
Jeannette McDonnell
International Greetings UK Ltd
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
Excellent course content that will be very useful. Good, practical tools provided, as well as some thought-provoking aspects. Will be beneficial in all areas of life - not just work. The trainer's presentation was clear, targeted, believed his own material, obviously 'lived' what he spoke about. Inspirational to me. Good blend of 'serious' content delivered well.
Ellie White
Binding Site
I now understand that lack of appreciation is often the cause of conflict and that an efficient leader should seek to change the future behaviour. The trainers were very practical, clear and able to communicate very efficiently. They were unambiguous and made the sessions very interesting.
Chinyere Umeh
Niger Delta Development Commission
The training course content was superbly structured with excellent notes. Each element was clearly presented and discussed, allowing opportunity to reflect and plan on how to integrate into our professional and personal lives. Gezz was amazing and the best trainer I have ever witnessed. Polite, courteous and understanding throughout, Gezz delivered this course in an interesting and engaging way through the entire sessions 10/10.
Nick Radley

A valuable, well-balanced course which covered the key elements I was looking for; self-improvement to achieve both own and work-related goals. The trainer's presentation was excellent. Thank you for a well planned, full day of thought-provoking exercises. The formulation of individual action plans through the session is valuable and will help make it worthwhile and achievable.
Mary Ahern
Alps
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

Excellent. Several parts of the course are relevant to my current work situations. The trainer was excellent, easy to follow, well presented.
Carl Burnett

Great content, a lot of useful insights especially about task prioritisation and the value of positive mindset. Great trainer. Nice combination of theory and personal experience. 100/100
Nadezda Gurska

Fantastic course! Great material and very well delivered. Timing was spot on and I found all of the content helpful. Trainer presentation was Perfect, Thank you!
Phil Allen
Humbly Grove Energy
The content of the course was very good with lots of thought-provoking topics, eg use of words, dealing with conflict, planning and prioritising. There was lots of material to cover but the trainer covered it at a good speed with lots of small sessions of thinking time. Writing our own action plan was a great idea as much more likely to focus on what is important to us.
Chris Compton
Centerplate UK
Refreshing course; learnt a lot of useful concepts regarding how to communication better, how to organise, manage and prioritise. Learnt new key management concepts. The trainer was very helpful, gave me a lot of confidence regarding many day to day activities; how to organize things and make myself a better professional.
Krishna Chaitanya Venuturumilli
Mari Vision Pvt Ltd
It was a very practical course, providing methods of implantation and the reason for, rather than including a lot of ‘theoretical’ ideas and models that I have been given on previous such courses. This was an excellent course! Chris was very clear and able to provide plenty of examples / scenarios that demonstrated the content. Excellent!
