What participants thought
“Excellent course in which personal attention is of a high standard. Input from participants is also greatly appreciated. The preparations made beforehand by the trainer give a strong sense of involvement.”
D.J.C.M. Vermeulen, Sodexo- Personal Leadership“Are you looking for your personal points for improvement? Are you curious how you can communicate better, perform better and thereby live a more pleasant and successful life? Then the Personal Effectiveness course is for you! You will look (on your own initiative and at your own pace) at the areas in which you can function better as a person, and if you are open to self-development and growth, this course will definitely help you with that.”
J. Geerts, DHL Express- Personal Leadership“This course made me aware of what I can do and what I am capable of. I now dare to work much more from my own strength and I feel that my self-confidence has grown. My assertiveness has also increased, thanks to the many good tips and exercises I was given. I now dare to say more of what I want and let people walk over me less.”
Evert Meurs, Marosel B.V.- Personal Leadership“A good course that you can really benefit from. You come away with genuinely useful tools for dealing with certain matters better.”
