WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT WORKING WITH US
In only 2 hours and with simple but concrete techniques, the trainer Deiric made us understand and experiment with emotional intelligence and all the benefits it brings personally and professionally. He perfectly embodied the concepts he taught us. I felt inspired, connected and now motivated to go further!
Ingrid Guendon-Pene, Culture & Change at Airbus Helicopters
The “Building Trust, Psychological Safety and Emotional Intelligence” training was truly eye-opening. It empowered our team to express themselves without fear of judgment, fostering an environment of trust, open communication, and innovation. It not only improved our work culture but also positively impacted productivity and creativity. I would greatly recommend this for any organization looking to prioritize employee well-being and create a space where everyone feels heard and valued.
Pamela Kavanagh, HR at Exergyn
This interactive program has been a game-changer for our company, empowering staff at all levels to collaborate, share ideas and enhance the working environment.
Brett Promisel, COO of Deep Pool Financial Solutions
We ALREADY see some significant improvements in our teams in terms of openness, empathy, and collaboration. We know that's primarily due to the work you did with us.
John Rooney, MD of Flogas
The feedback received from all that attended mirrored my own opinion, the session was fantastic. The way you deliver is very thought provoking, educational, interactive and most of all inclusive and fun. “The way you show up” is now very consciously in everyone’s mind and the influence that has on one’s own self and those around them.
