What others are saying...

This training program was very valuable. The practical exercises made me more aware of my own behavior and choices. I also received clear guidance on how to increase my influence on others and act more consciously in different situations. I really appreciated the feedback from the trainer as well.

Marco

The training course effectively combines theory and practice, actively involves all participants and is instructive, well structured and varied. We had a group with a fine dynamic, also thanks to our trainer!

I learned a lot. About behavior, interpersonal relationships, principles, and different needs. What really appealed to me were the various assignments, the extensive collaboration, the wealth of information (in the positive sense of the word), and the fact that you learn to examine your own behavior. All of that in a really great group.

Loes

Bringing in real-life examples made the theory much more lively and helped to place everything better. Hearing the experiences of others also gave valuable insights. For me, some additional role-playing with specific cases would be an interesting addition. The personal attention during the training course was very valuable and made the whole thing even more impactful.

I received an enormous amount of tools that gave me a wide range of options. By experiencing what works in my practice, I learned a lot. It is 70% practical, so plenty of practice, sometimes confrontational.

Pleasant training course, participants came from a variety of professions. Training course that adds value both professionally and privately. The training course provides tools to influence others (and yourself) in a positive way. It is now a matter of applying these tools yourself. The location was fine, plenty of choice at lunch.

Highly recommended if you want concrete tools in a short time. You get practical tools that you can apply immediately with good useful feedback and it was a small nice group.

The training course The Art of Influencing is a fun, pleasant training program. There was an open atmosphere. It contributed a great deal to my personal development. The group dynamics were good, and participants drew on their own practical experiences from various perspectives to explore how to apply the topics. I look back on it positively.

Mirjam

I suddenly realize why I kept running into resistance in conversations, even though I get such positive feedback from both clients and colleagues. I’ve really learned a lot here. I never expected to learn so much in just two days. YEARTH more than lives up to its promise.
