Garbrand
I come from the fine Hanseatic city of Zwolle. What I consider important in a course is that you feel as much at ease as possible and have a really enjoyable day. I facilitate that by training in a sensitive, approachable way, with humour and lightness. Participants often tell me that my courses are highly interactive and practically useful. I translate theory into something applicable in an easy-to-understand way.

Not only knowing how it should be done, but also experiencing that it works
What participants say:
Garbrand received an average score of 7.8 from 84 participants. Below are some of the comments participants added.
“The trainer knew what he was talking about. He also thought along with us about communication and your own characteristics. Think of feeling insecure while taking minutes at a meeting with the board, for example.”
“Garbrand is a pleasant trainer who sees the person. That makes the course just that bit more tailored to the participants on the day. I see that as added value. I also thought all the important discussion points and aspects of the minute-taking process were covered. Nice that he also rang beforehand to ask about my learning needs.”
“Garbrand is an enthusiastic and capable trainer who knows how to ask follow-up questions without it becoming awkward (which is quite a challenge when a course also requires you to share things about yourself).”
“I think he was good in front of a group, responded well to our discussions and questions and had prepared things well. You could tell the course carried a lot of experience and knowledge.”
“Garbrand van den Berg is a pleasant, friendly and very good trainer! His explanations were clear and expert.”
“Clearly very experienced and thought outside the box. Great understanding of people and gave good feedback.”
“The trainer responded well to the team and the situation at TKP.”
"Garbrand is an enthusiastic trainer who delivered the course in a professional and enjoyable way. He has a great deal of knowledge and really tries to motivate you during the course."
“Communication was fine, he pitched things well for us as a target group and is good at putting himself in your shoes.”
“You could tell the trainer had a lot of experience with communication and could therefore align well with our wishes. He had everything sorted out so it all ran smoothly, and he also acted as though it were a full class, so it did not become a one-to-one situation but simply a course like any other.”
“Handled the less motivated participants well, so that in the end they too gave their input and perhaps took away more than they had expected themselves.”
“The trainer was excellent”
“The trainer delivered an inspiring and motivating course.”
“The trainer was more than adequately suited to the group and was able to motivate the group.”
"Garbrand was a pleasant and skilled trainer. During the course he helped us with how to adapt our texts and make them more engaging. I learned a great deal."
"Garbrand is a good, approachable trainer, which I found very pleasant."
"A skilled and likeable trainer with a sharp eye for what can be improved. I am very satisfied."
"On the whole a positive experience. What might be nice is to be given an assignment that you can then carry out and discuss on the second day."
"I really liked the fact that Garbrand has experience in customer service himself and that he engaged with our practical examples, rather than us being taken through his experience. This made the theory pleasant and easy to follow, and clearly understandable."
"Pleasant trainer. Very knowledgeable, and also leaves room for your own input. Had good and pleasant interaction with the participants"
"He is good at putting into words what he means. He can also put himself in the situation well. He turns it into a case study that we then discuss. That is genuinely useful. The role plays we had to do were also clear and easy to apply in practice. It was a lot of information though; a third day would actually be welcome."
"Knowledgeable, always had an answer to everything, handled every situation well. Humour, kept things light, had a good sense of what the group needed"
"Friendly, knowledgeable, experienced."
"Garbrand has a considerable amount of experience as a trainer and you notice that in his course. I found Garbrand knowledgeable, professional and motivating. He creates a pleasant atmosphere (a nice way of training) and really gives participants room for interaction and to ask questions."
"Enthusiastic trainer."
