Advisory Skills course

"The tailored course material fitted well with day-to-day practice and with the improvement and learning points we had raised, which made it easy to stay focused. The course included techniques that make you think and rethink in order to reach your goal. Certainly very interesting and useful! Excellent course."

"Instructive course, in which your wishes and expectations are listened to carefully. Professional organisation, with an enthusiastic and professional trainer."

“A good mix of theory and practice through the various role plays. The trainer adds a personal touch by revisiting examples mentioned by participants on days 1 and 2 of the course again a month later on day 3.”

“I was very satisfied with the course. The atmosphere was good and I felt at ease. The pace was good.”

“A course that offers you plenty of tools, delivered in an expert and professional manner and supported by an excellent reference work.”

"My objective was to take a critical look at how my advisory meetings were going and to look for improvements. I certainly achieved that with this course. By going through the theory and practising real-life situations, I gained a better understanding. These three days have been a good investment for more success in the rest of my career!"

“For anyone who really wants to work practically on developing their advisory skills, I would warmly recommend the course from Learn-it. Through a practical approach, an expert trainer teaches you the knowledge and skills of advising. There is attention for both the group process and the individual process. Developing your qualities as an adviser comes first, in line with your everyday practice. What more could an adviser wish for.”

"The course fitted in very well with day-to-day practice and there was plenty of room to bring in your own examples and ask questions. I got a great deal out of this course!"

“Excellent, well attuned to the group. The trainer kept everyone engaged, gave good positive feedback and repeated the material where necessary. Very capable. She knew a great deal about the subject. Enthusiastic.”

“Very personal and professional. Thanks to the work and the conversations beforehand, the course is perfectly geared to our organisation, which makes it easy to put into practice.”

“You become very aware of your own advisory style and which parts of it could do with improvement.”

“A distinctly practice-oriented course with only the most essential theoretical underpinning. Not too much reading, but above all doing.”

"I would recommend this course! As an internal adviser, it can sometimes be difficult to give good advice within an organisation. In this course you get plenty of tips and pointers to ensure that the person being advised takes your advice, and you as an expert, seriously: applying LSD effectively, identifying where resistance lies and removing it, creating support for your advice, looking for common interests, not judging too soon, searching for creative solutions, moving along, moving in step, moving away if necessary and certainly not pushing back too quickly, applying influencing techniques and, above all, you learn that you must always stand behind your own advice! Very valuable things to put in your 'rucksack' as an adviser. The course has a practical set-up (lots of role-play), so it really sticks."

“A course that has been of great added value. For myself, but certainly also for the team and the whole organisation. The content fitted our work well. What was covered is certainly usable in practice. The preliminary inventory made me feel taken seriously straight away. The trainer managed to create a safe atmosphere within a short space of time and had an eye for both the individual and the group.”

"Good course with plenty of applicable and valuable tips. It also gives you a lot of insight into yourself in an advisory role. The broad range of subjects at Learnit Training appeals to me. The various formats of information, classroom-based as well as webinars, are very pleasant too. The solution offered in my situation, as I was unable to attend one course day, was arranged absolutely perfectly."

“A surprising course. A ‘toolbox’ of skills for advising efficiently. As a technical person, I experience this as ‘a different world’. Certainly useful to get to know this more psychological side of advising as well. From now on, both halves of my brain can get to work. Thank you!”

"It was a good set-up. Lots of different information, all of it connected to the theme of advising. I was surprised to discover that communication plays such a large role, and that this can also be made objective by using models. The variety of course materials was pleasant."

“I followed the course at Learnit with great enthusiasm for two days and finished them feeling very satisfied. We received an enormous amount of useful advice and my learning objectives were met. Now the challenge is to apply all the good tips in practice. Leah is an enthusiastic and skilled trainer. I can wholeheartedly recommend Learnit and Leah.”

“A very experienced trainer who ensures that every participant takes away a number of practical tools.”

"Pleasantly practical course, tailored to your wishes and learning needs."

"This course makes you realise your own shortcomings and points for improvement (you are held up a very accurate mirror). You are then confronted with them and given all kinds of techniques to improve. A very good and professional course!"

“Clear course with examples that you can apply in practice straight away.”

“I really learned an enormous amount during this course, and I can apply what I learned both at work and in my social life. The trainer, Mieke, is very good at what she does. She clearly has many years of experience and has a great deal of positive energy, which made it not only an instructive course but also a thoroughly enjoyable one. The role plays, often based on real situations at my work, were also extremely instructive.”

"Anna Maria is a very enthousiastic trainer, with a very large amount of knowledge on the topic we discussed. She was great at transferring this knowledge, and I feel I learned a lot of things that I can directly apply in my day to day work."

“If you are looking for the motives of your 'client' who is to receive advice from you, then take this course. By asking the right questions and listening carefully to the answers, you discover where the key is hidden that gives you access to your client. You also gain insight into your own behaviour and thoughts, which influence your client and through which your advice is negatively (or indeed positively) affected. Highly recommended!”

“The course covers a substantial amount of theory without ever becoming dull! Practical examples and other people's experiences challenge you to put what you have learnt into practice straight away. After this course you are a better equipped and more aware discussion partner, and your advisory skills are up to date again.”

"Excellent course with a very committed and experienced trainer! The trainer really had a practical approach! Fascinating to listen to. I was not bored for a moment."

“A great many topics were covered in a short space of time in a pleasant and professional manner; I learned a lot.”

“During the tailored Advisory Skills course I gained more confidence in my role as an adviser, precisely because of the amount of practice with real-life situations and reflection through feedback and video. There was a good balance between theory and practice. Thanks to the pleasant, open atmosphere the trainer created early on, we were able as a group to go into the material and our own reflection in greater depth quickly.”

“A highly knowledgeable trainer! Knows how to make you recognise reflection in behaviour.”

“It is an interesting, interactive course that gives you insight into, among other things, how your iceberg (with your standards, values, character, etc.) influences the way you give advice. You also practise different ways of delivering a message and how to encourage others to make progress together during an advisory process.”
