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.

The course was extremely helpful, I really enjoyed the whole content. I found particularly helpful and will implement in my day to day work: Conflict management – rational objective language; 8 Part SMART questions; Time management matrix. Chris’ presentation was very informative, polite and friendly; very knowledgeable. Chris did not lose momentum or seem to lag, or become tired during the two days.

Useful models with clear examples of how they relate to work/life scenarios. Engaging and memorable stress on time & priority management, wrapped up in a professional and personable delivery. Informative, educational and enjoyable. The trainer was Confident. Professional. Engaging. Able to seamlessly move between points & conversational periods back to material. 100/100
Jack Kumble

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
Emma Kersley
Heart of England Forest
Detailed course with a lot of information to impart, which must be difficult to condense. It was divided into easy chunks and was very clear and structured. I think the benefits will become apparent in time. Engaging and welcoming, clear and informative, reactive to comments from the room, thank you. 100/100

This was an excellent course with a well-thought-out analytical approach to common challenges we all face. I feel well-equipped to handle a variety of current and future problems at work and in my personal life. I would recommend this course to anyone. The summary statements were very helpful and practical, and the frameworks can be applied to any situation. The trainer was highly engaging and interesting. They did a great job of holding our attention and making the material easy to digest. 100/100

The course material was very engaging and delivery was excellent. Provided critical strategies that can be implemented in many aspects of my role to enhance me and refine my skills, and also the wider team and organisation Excellent delivery, very interactive but not with ample time to reflect and absorb the information & materials.
Annalise Roberts

Great content! Really well explained. The use of fact when dealing with conflict. 8 SMART Goals. To be clear, rational and positive. Chris was fantastic, really enthusiastic, engaging. Made it very easy to understand and learn from his theories.
Razak Malik

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
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

I found all the content useful, educational and thought provoking. There are several areas that I will use in my day-to-day such as ‘wrong box, right box’, better time management and how to empower others by being positive or reframing a situation. Chris (trainer) was energetic, engaging and knowledgeable. I have attended many bad training sessions over the years, this was not one of them!
Simon Nobel
Fusion Global Business Solutions
I will probably use all of the information used, particularly the time management, the flow chart of the way I impact on an employee or person, and how to respond and give criticism in a constructive way. Chris was amazing! Very informative. Visuals and stories helped me a lot. I think most of it went in! Thank you again ♡ x 100/100

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 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.

I really enjoyed the course, so many different modules covered that I will find useful in my professional life. Great content, the modules on communication and conflict in particular were insightful and structured. Chris, the trainer, was approachable, clear and concise. I would highly recommend him as a trainer. He was committed to making sure we received the full training. Easy to understand and knowledgeable.

He was very engaging as a trainer and interesting.

Kim McCready
Taurus Healthcare
Great content. Really interesting and I found all of it beneficial for use in both the workplace and the outside world. Most useful to be given tools to use for all of the theories to put into practice. Trainer (Chris) engaged with his own material, demonstrated his own use of the knowledge he was imparting, great speed (not too quick), kept interest throughout and made it easy to take on board. Excellent trainer.
Donna Quelch
RES Group
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
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
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.
