Customer feedback

“I am very pleased with the outcomes and the team all seemed to have a good day which was important to me too as you know. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and creativity. I thought that the certificates and trophies were lots of fun whilst of course having a serious point to them.”

HR Director

UK University

“We would like to say thank you for your outstanding, well-reasoned and enjoyable course.”

Course Participant

“An inspiring day. Lots of food for thought, new ideas to put into practice. Very successful.”

Strategy Day Participant

“I have known Eszter for years and she has been instrumental to my professional development. Not only by following her courses and teaching in both CMI and non-CMI classes, but by having appropriate and targeted advice which guided me through my managerial journey. Eszter is extremely approachable and knowledgeable and never failed to encourage me to push on.”

Course Participant

I have no doubt that my successful completion of this qualification was largely thanks to Eszter’s skills as a leader and coach: she has an aptitude for ‘breaking the ice’ quickly and easily amongst delegates, and her approachable, friendly, respectful nature, combined with clear communication and knowledge of course material, makes her a valuable asset for individuals and organisations alike.

Charity

“I feel very fortunate to have worked with Eszter and I hope as many people as possible get the opportunity to do so, because she is excellent at what she does.”

Charity

“The practical exercises were challenging and helped to build confidence. The trainer’s presentation was very interesting.”
