“For both workshops, I enjoyed the flow of the programme i.e. the context of the training materials and life examples, Life workshops, clear communication and good team participation.  There was no dull moment with your trainings. I saw the Time management from a different perspective and it changed the way I manage my time both at work and other activities.  Also the application of what I learnt was the height of the training for me.  I am forever grateful to have met you and I hope our path crosses for better achievements.”

I am a trainer myself and now also use practices that I saw in Daniel’s workshop.”

“The Performance Management Workshop can be really considered a guide for your job. It provides clear inputs on how to deal with your employees and how to consider each employee’s point of view.

DORO F.

Project Manager

“The workshops were very well structured and it was very exciting to listen and learn. It wasn’t a run-of-the-mill training method; instead it was structured in a really exciting way (many examples and illustrated situations taken from everyday life). Not every trainer can and succeeds in doing that. Daniel makes these programs super personable and authentic. I was able to take a lot away from the training courses and use them successfully in my daily business. I like to think back to the training.”

“Daniel led us through an exciting, engaging an interactive workshop, teaching us the key aspects of Lean Leadership as a lived reality rather than abstract concepts.

SONJA B.

Supervisor Quality Control

“Daniel’s workshop was great! He explained things very clearly with the help of symbols. The visual stimulus helps to memorise things more easily. The course was framed with many case studies, practical, interactive and thought-provoking (inspiring). The homework was to take one or two course contents and integrate one more into everyday life each week, because only those who practise the course content will retain it and be able to make use of the course. Daniel also tries to keep improving himself through feedback. An all-round successful workshop.”
