Interesting and enjoyable training. The scope of the Office Manager's job is well developed, giving a clear, global view of the job. The trainer is a very good teacher, a good listener and has a great deal of psychological finesse, which makes the discussions particularly enjoyable and relevant. As an area for improvement, the addition of a few more practical cases would help to anchor the concepts covered even more firmly.

Very rich content, covering all types of subjects related to the vast profession of Office Manager... A very professional and very human facilitator, who tackled the subjects in a very educational and also very psychological way...

Interesting overall approach. Sharing experiences and feelings with the trainer and the other participants was rich and lively. I wasn't bored at all (and yet I can get bored very quickly!).
