I was expecting the course to focus less on face-to-face meetings and more on tips for running remote meetings (capturing audiences, digital tools, support) and more role-playing exercises.

The theory and practice are well balanced. I enjoyed the role-playing and the application of the methods covered during the course. The facilitator was dynamic, caring and very friendly.

The course wasn't adapted to my level, but that was a mistake on my part. The theme of assertiveness was more what I expected. The quality of the exercises was not optimal as there were 3 of us. The layout of the presentation material was a bit old-fashioned.

Marco remains a competent and educational trainer. However, the course seemed to be better suited to beginners than to people who were already at ease with the subject. For my part, I learnt a few things, but I didn't come away from the session with a great deal of additional knowledge. I was expecting more practical advice or tips on how to better manage my meetings with my clients.

The trainer is no longer 'up to date' and gives no dynamism to the monotone, flat training. No examples of his experience, no real facts on his part, so no sharing. The training was too 'academic', the course material too 'heavy'. The trainer didn't give a real idea of current meetings and didn't give any modern tools for meetings. I needed this training for future training meetings, the trainer noted this at the beginning of the 2 days, it didn't [...

Satisfied" interest: The content could easily fit into a day and a half. Short days with lots of breaks. I was already familiar with the tools presented on the first half-day, but having said that, it's always interesting to revisit them and put them back into practice in real-life situations.

Thank you to Antoine for this course! I really appreciated his teaching methods and the group dynamic he was able to inspire from the outset. I would have liked to spend more time on posture when faced with a disruptive element or a hostile interlocutor, with perhaps more exercises or practice on this point. I'm coming away with a whole range of tools that I can use in the future.
