Recent reviews for our personal effectiveness training courses

  • "Our trainer was knowledgeable, friendly and was able to back up the theory with real world examples. I found this useful in this kind of course to help people identify with the traits and emotions they or others may display. The matrixes to help understand the work were useful and I will be referring to them in future. Really liked the style and tone. Great Session. Thank you."

  • "The training really gave me an insight in to how to look at things differently when challenged with a problem, and provided some useful tools to assist. The mind mapping particularly stood out and it will be something I will use not only in problem solving but generally as part of my job, training and presentations."

  • "The trainer was really enthusiastic and friendly – she explained all the concepts really well, and the session was really interactive which kept everyone engaged!"

  • "The instructor was brilliant. She was very patient and engaging, she drew out everything people were saying very well, and delivered the course content perfectly. It has given me lots of food for thought about how I can spend my. timein a better way to maximise the output – and enjoyment – for myself."

    Attendee, Time Management

  • "Our trainer really made it a fun session with lots of analogies (which helped to visualise the concepts) and interactive exercises. I thought it was a great introduction to project management – much better than other courses I've been on!"

    Attendee, Project Management

  • "Great presentation of data, from a down-to-earth and amusing presenter. The group activities and discussions were all very engaging and useful.."

  • "I enjoyed the topic a lot, it was something that change my way of thinking when speaking to internal and external stakeholders. It was fun to be able to also watch something and then having to think about how to approach the situation, making me retain more info by immediately having to apply it."

  • "This session – and all the others – were very engaging. I knew each week that I would be hearing from others and participating in these side conversations, which I found very helpful. It never felt like a lecture, but more of a group chat with peers to bounce things off one another and share successes and failures."

    Attendee, Motivating Others

  • "Lots to think about that I hadn’t considered as much before. I especially liked the section on different social styles and how they work and work together. I found training incredibly useful for new managers"
