Unlocking Innovation through Trust and Openness

The workshop on persuasion and argumentation is much more interesting and captivating than most other training sessions I have attended before. I can truly take something away from this. The content, the way it is presented, captivating from start to finish. A fantastic trainer with a very pleasant voice.

As a result of a career switch, I enrolled in the negotiation course. Initially, before the training, I thought this would certainly not be my thing. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The course is divided over two days, making it manageable, especially for a novice like me. Through the enthusiastic, engaging teaching style and interaction, a lot of the new material stuck, and I was genuinely drawn into the techniques of negotiation. I am confident that when I sit at the negotiation table for the first time soon, I have the necessary know-how to lead the negotiations successfully. Thank you, Najima, for this.

Regarding you, our trainer, and the 3 days of training, it was very exciting with a packed but well-balanced program alternating between theory and practical exercises. Group exercises are also a good thing because they contribute to strengthening the group's cohesion. You are very pleasant, punctual, attentive to needs, very professional with suitable materials provided to learners. In summary, my appreciation is very favorable. Thank you again and best wishes.

What remains very close to my heart are the resilience enhancement lessons we had from you. We learned to apply control and self-direction in our own lives. The support group ensured there was a lot of understanding and common ground. How you empower people is not something everyone can do. You do it exceptionally well!

Najima's workshop on the importance of psychological safety in conflict resolution was a turning point for our team. She guided us in creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone is free to express ideas and concerns without fear of reprisal or judgment. Her method, combining theory and practical exercises, has thoroughly changed our way of communicating and contributed to establishing a more open and collaborative corporate culture. Managers and team members have gained the necessary tools and confidence to collaborate constructively and encourage innovation.

I find the training very valuable, not what I initially expected. However, everything comes together, and it makes you reflect and seek solutions in a different way. It also teaches me that we should not attribute everything to culture,...
