Very informative and constructive, carefully planned out presentations. Well timed breaks and a very clear message and objective for each subject. I especially found the time management and planning very beneficial, as well as the SMART and wrong box/right box techniques. This course has not only benefited me as a manager, but also helped me improve as a person. Alison was a very knowledgeable and informative presenter, clearly understanding each members need to be there. An absolute credit to her profession.

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!

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.

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

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

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.
Rob Hollifield
Immucor
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

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

I found the course content relates a lot to a lot of what I felt I already knew, which clearly did not. All aspect where really helpful. Especially having to deal with conflict, which I’ve not had experience in the workplace to date. Chris was Brilliant! Very precise and clear of what he was trying to get across and what is expected of me.
Steve Devlin
Oldham Seals Ltd
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 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
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.

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

I have learnt how to organise my work list in a way that is constructive and productive. To focus on the use of objective language. I found the section on conflict resolution very helpful. The 8 Smart plan and success formula is something I look forward to implementing. The trainer executed the presentation with excellence. His knowledge on the subject and obvious passion filtered through and I was hooked from day one. I cannot praise him enough! Thank you

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

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!

Hannah Weaver-Lyon
Purple Dragon
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
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
Very detailed but simple to use methods. Will immediately use decision matrix with team and give them advice on what I learnt. Success formula and dealing with negativity was very useful. Excellent trainer. Kept my attention throughout, involved in discussions. Very friendly and professional. Answered questions and concerns. Very clear explanations on each section of course. Overall mark:100/100
Chetna Vara
Critico Group
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
Technology is fantastic, it is like being in the room with them. Great for learning as it is interactive, they are standing in front of the screen they are writing on which I found so helpful. They aren't just reading it out to you, they write and go through everything with you. I found the technology they use is the next best thing to real life face-to-face teaching. Marco and Chris writing on the tablet which comes up on the main screen I found helpful as it made the course more personal and detailed with their own pictures and clearly laid out tables or graphs etc.
Daniella Steenbergen
The Salon at Maxy Farm
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

This training course was very interesting, the content made me think about being more positive in my working and family life. I think the theories and examples used will be very beneficial to me going forward. The trainer,Chris, was an exceptional trainer with great life experience examples to illustrate his training. He was very engaging as a trainer and interesting.

Jade Atkinson

This training course really helped me structure my thoughts and realise how to implement basic strategies into my work, for the better of my team and me. Also, it has helped me not just with work, but about how to balance my general mindset and how to keep positive. The trainer was really good at keeping everyone engaged and interested, whilst teaching us valuable life tips.
Jessica Pickford

The course was very helpful and has taught me many ways to improve not only myself, but the team around me. It is very easy to learn from the detailed, yet simple explanations. Chris is an awesome teacher, he is very thorough with his explanations and made the course very relatable.
Matthew Jones
Midland Building Products Ltd
This training course was just what I was looking for. The captions noted at the back of the book throughout the day have been exceptionally helpful. The training day has been enjoyable with lots of interaction. As an introvert this is a huge step in my development. Timings were kept, and the trainer was helpful answering various questions during the day.
Claire Jones
Solace
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

The course gave me excellent awareness of the importance of negotiation preparation, success formula, persuasion techniques and consequences. The trainer's presentation was excellent.
