There was a lot of theory that was immediately put into practice during the course, which meant that the tools on offer were really taken on board and you didn't get the impression that you were following a lecture. The trainer was able to adapt very well to each participant's area of expertise, and the presentation was dynamic.)

Perfectly paced, alternating concepts with practical application to our own communication plan, and allowing for exchanges with other participants. A good listener. Good management of the hybrid formulaA shame, though, that we weren't able to do this training face-to-face to have even more exchanges.
