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.

ASDA
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 course content was mixed and kept me attentive. I appreciated all the examples and stories, much easier to learn from experiences. The trainer was very interactive. I enjoyed working in pairs, definitely helped content sink in.
Chloe Pott
Nexthink SA
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 had good structure and pace. Useful consolidation of topics which we can put into context within the company's culture and meetings. The trainer was clear and attentive and tailored the discussions to our needs and additional questions.
John Pelan
Coloplast Ltd
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.
Victoria Elkin
County Broadband
Fantastic course content. Learnt an awful lot I had not previously considered. In particular the 'WhatsNext' for prioritisation, such a simple process to prioritise tasks. Both Marco and Chris were fantastic. I was dubious about joining a virtual training course; however, it exceeded my expectations! Both were informative, friendly and could tell both were passionate about the training they provided. I really liked how the technology used to deliver the course was used. I was unsure how this course would work virtually but really enjoyed it and I learnt a lot due to the layout and presentations on Teams.
Christopher Barrett
Market Dojo
I was very impressed by the course content. I found all the information very useful and look forward to put this into practice. The trainer's presentation was excellent!! He came across very well and very easy to understand. A true motivator.
Craig Chesters
Longworth and Sons Ltd
I found pretty much all of the content very useful. It made me think about things in a different way. Hopefully will return to this material and use it to keep thinking positively about all the forthcoming challenges. Chris presented very well, both clearly and confidently.
Arthur Cullender
Immucor
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 content was put together really well and flowed from one subject to another nicely. Everything was relevant, and the tools included will help me going forward into senior management. Chris has a lovely approach to the training which makes it enjoyable, and the time flew! He's voice is easy to listen to and clear. If there was something we didn't understand or extra questions we asked, it was never a problem and he either went back over something or extended his answer to the extra question. He was brilliant! The tech was great! easy to follow on screen and it makes it so much nicer in colour! :)
Victoria Irons
PostTag Group Ltd
I found all the course content very useful, even the topics I didn't think I needed training on. The most beneficial topics were decision making, managing emotions, conflicts and communication. The trainer was very engaging, using a lot of great examples. There was not a boring moment in the two days I attended. He made sure that we left knowing exactly what we needed to work on and how we can implement the changes. Thank you!
Katalin Kurilla
Independent Doctors Federation
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.
Mai Chim
International Greetings UK Ltd
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)
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
The course was very comprehensive. A lot of content covered over two days. Extremely helpful, practical approach that I can relate to my role and put into practice. Proposes things that are achievable day to day. The trainer's presentation was good and at the right pace for the content delivered. Clearly explained. Opportunity for group discussion, happy for questions.
Ellen Jenner
Binding Site
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)
Tremendous course! Highly recommended at all levels in an organisation. Very good tools and techniques that are easy to apply at work and at home. Will change my outlook entirely! Chris is excellent. A very inspiring trainer, has made a real difference in my outlook in my career and given confidence to lead myself and others.
Jane Cross
APD Communications
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 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.
Jade Atkinson
MEL Health & Safety Consultants Ltd
The course content was well structured and relevant to my needs. It covered all the topics I would find beneficial in my day to day working life and many I can use on a personal level. It made me evaluate my behaviour. The trainer was very clear, structured and easy to understand. The training manual is a tool I will continue to use as reference.
Helen Kirkup
Swatch
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
Excellent structure and manuals, with great direction and time keeping. The content is gold! There are so many new and simple concepts that I will easily be able to apply. I found the SMART, CG4D and Prioritisation exercises very valuable. I loved the perspective of right box/wrong box. The time management matrix is really wonderful, I am going to share this! The trainer was approachable and empathetic, offering a very efficiently run course. He shares depth and breadth of knowledge through engaging storytelling, weaving in history and philosophy. His dedication to making a difference in people's lives if really evident.
Ashwina Rao
Waitemata DHB
I found the content interesting and believe that I can use it to improve myself both personally and professionally, especially conflict management, delegation and time management. The presentation was very good. The Trainer was engaging and the information was in-depth but easy to understand.
Cary McQueen
Roma Leather Ltd
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
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 Binding Site
Will take a lot of practical ideas away from the course. Much prefer training when there are practical methods rather than break-out sessions, so found the course was much more suited to my way of learning. The right box/wrong box and prioritisation methods were two areas I will definitely take away and put into practice immediately. The Trainer Chris was great, just the right balance of giving information vs seeking information from the group. Everything was clear and concise.
Dan Bush
Kyloe Partners
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
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.
Laura Byrne
Swindon Womens Aid
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)
The course content was quite detailed, but the presentation broke it down so that it wasn't too daunting. Covered a lot of ground in two days. Really informative. The trainer's presentation was excellent. The best training presentation I have ever seen.
Alison Patrick
Sentinel
I enjoyed the content of the course especially some of the more practical tools like the wrong box / right box and prioritisation techniques. I still need to process all the information that’s been shared over the 2 days. Presentation and delivery was fantastic! 100/100. Marco made the course engaging, fun and actionable. I appreciate that he tailored many parts of the course to fit in with each attendee’s situation. I can see there is lots of presentation experience and commitment to deliver the course in the most efficient way possible.
Irene Bosega
Redbrain
Training course content was clear, concise and surprisingly unrushed, as two days condensed into one. Useful area on separation of objective and subjective. Also interesting conflict management, wrong box, right box. Good reminder of smart technique. Trainer's presentation kept delegates engaged, off the phone/ laptop, which is rare. Interesting delivery of what could be a heavy area.
Tracey Redfern
Fast React Systems Ltd
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
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!
Les Samuels
DHC
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.
