Good use of a very probable scenario, thanks for a very interesting and educational crisis communications workshop. Ghislaine Jonker Coordinator External Communications
"I can only recommend Rudi and his team to anyone looking for detailed, professional media training. The two sessions I had with him were inspiring, educational and good fun as well. I was trained to control interviews without losing my personal touch and "flair' in interviews."
Paul Burger General Manager Dealer Relations
"I appreciated both the training and the trainers. I am happy to have been given this opportunity to improve my skills." Ronald Faas Marketing & Communications Manager
"Your media training rated all 10's, tough, but I learned a lot!" Moriaki Kadoya President & CEO
"I enjoyed the day, never really looked at the clock, and got tremendous learning from the exercise." James J. Maskas Managing Director
"At first I felt a little intimidated, but you have the ability to make one feel comfortable." Peter Burghouwt Financial Manager
"I found your advanced media performance coaching to be very customized.
It highlighted the area of importance for me. You helped to identify the root of the problem.
The session contained excellent and joyful moments."
"Strong satisfaction with the tailor-made approach. Your personal training is the best formula. Many thanks for the dedication and the quality of your remarks." Didier Duret Chief Investment Officer
"The training was well-structured and attractively presented." Frans M.J. van de Kamp Corporate Strategic Account Director
"Trainers ranked 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. Excellent atmosphere, good location." Roel Beems Country Market Leader - Office & Consumer Markets
"This was honestly one of the best and likely one of the most valuable training sessions I have attended in the last five years; very professional trainers, obviously extremely experienced and with high standards of quality." Chris Fletcher Vice President/Managing Director
"Having taken quite a few of these training sessions, I appreciated the way this course focused on useful elements and techniques and taught them very quickly." Wayne Kernochan Senior Vice President
"The trainers were competent, patient and to the point. You addressed my concerns proactively and gave me relevant advice to overcome them. Yes, you did help me a lot and when I look at the final result (of course far from perfect yet, but miles difference when compared to where we started out!) you really made a difference with all your advice. It will not surprise you that every time I now see someone on television, I watch with great interest how they excel or blunder in front of the camera. But I now do feel a lot of sympathy for all those that have to speak up in front of a camera." Reinout van Lennep Managing Director Global Private Clients
"A great experience, to be recommended to anyone who is exposed on camera. It made me feel much more comfortable to stand in front of a camera. The feedback really helped me to improve my performance." Ingrid Marsolo Head Training & Development /AVP
"You managed to stay focused and help me in tackling the issues at hand for me.
I learnt a lot or -for sure- I heard and saw a lot. Seeing oneself is so effective in combination with your very specific and practical critique and suggestions. Overall, I can honestly say that your training was invaluable and crucial. I was more often than before "in the moment" and I now know what to practice and have already experienced a couple of "successes". The intro and the closing are a credit to you." Reinout van Lennep Managing Director Global Private Clients
