Although I was already familiar with most of the tools presented, this training course provided real added value thanks to the exchange of experiences between participants and the many points for reflection that were raised. The quality of the delivery was also a highlight: relevant clarifications, practical scenarios and the trainer’s exemplary application of her own advice, which reinforced the credibility and impact of the messages conveyed.

I thought there would be more practical solutions presented, more set phrases, and more real-life examples
