Excellent content with summaries of all important points. SMART targets and 8 Success formula questions were most beneficial. The presentation had a good balance between light-heartedness and importance. Take home messages were well reinforced.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

As a new, internally promoted manager, I found this course absolutely invaluable and will recommend this course to other staff. Extremely helpful content. Alison has been fantastic, obviously very knowledgeable and well versed in the subject. Will recommend Alison be booked for in-house training.

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
The course was particularly beneficial on how to use my time more productively with the decision matrix; how to get the best out of others and how to better manage my emotions, so they don't interfere with work. The trainer was great, with enthusiastic presentations with great personal examples. Very engaging and made me feel very comfortable. The presentation was fun and I found that I didn't loose concentration for the whole of the course.
Joseph Heathcote
GE Aviation (Dowty Propellers)
I thought the course was very eye-opening and made me look at simple processes in a very different light and in much more depth. Being a visual learner, I found the diagrams, models and structures very interesting and valuable. Chris is a very engaging and positive presenter, ensuring he explains things thoroughly and ensures everyone understands.
Katy Woollard
TY Danjuma Family Office Ltd
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
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
I found the course to be extremely detailed and we were able to cover a lot in a very short space of time without being overwhelmed due to the well structured course. I enjoyed the role plays and learning about all of the different models - very informative! Well structured, easy to follow and very interesting! Lots of different techniques for learning which kept it stimulating. 100/100
Nicole Peters
The Heart of England Forest
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 was excellent. Perfectly structured so that it flowed and made logical sense. I have been on similar courses in the past, but the content and particularly the delivery of this one, was the best I have seen. Very impactful.
Adam Wawrzynczyk
Binding Site
The course content was appropriate and engaging to the audience. The key areas of consideration I found to be on point with my own development. The trainer was knowledgeable and engaging. Taking note of peoples' conversations and including them in his own explanations.
Matt Reader
Turn IT On
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
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.
Lauren Wilson
IR Magazine
Presented online via Teams: Brilliant content, full details of each subject well presented. Wonderful communication. Very well presented, verbally, physically and mentally. Chris (the trainer) was very polite and kind, we had a good laugh and a wonderful time. 10/10 for demonstrating a clear understanding, not one fault within the whole course
Charlie Brocklebank
Wireless CCTV
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 was informative and made me question leadership skills that I have operated with for years, but made me see a fresh approach to dealing with different scenarios I am faced with. The trainer's presentation was fantastic. He kept the group involved and made everything very clear as the presentation went on. Very knowledgeable.
Dean Stones
Centreplate 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
Excellent and relevant content. Good models shown with practical use explained. The trainer had a good style, conducive to learning, nice pace and clear at all times. Good opportunities for elaboration where needed.
Paul Handley
Turbine Surface Technologies Ltd
Course content was very good - easy to follow and understand. Overall the course was very helpful. But specifically the parts on conflict resolution and prioritisation were particularly useful. Chris (trainer) was a dynamic and engaging presenter. He kept everything running strictly to time without making it feel like we were galloping through the course. Thank you!
Tonia Smreczak
Brainbox Ltd
I found the course very helpful and beneficial for the future, especially the parts communication, conflict, positive emotions. I would perceive this course as beneficial for other colleagues as well. The trainer's presentation was very engaging and motivating, high level of professionalism. Allows questions and provides immediate answers.
