Actelion (pharmaceuticals)

"Your course is very good and helpful, and I am very happy to have chosen it. It is really good value. Your way to work on assertiveness is great, I didn't even feel to be on a course, but rather between friends.
And this is a great point for you and your way of bringing the information to us, who are rather shy and silent.
Thank you very much again for all your enthusiasm and good energy."

APM Terminals

"Attending Impact Factory's course "Communicate with Impact" was well worth the time and distance travelled to participate. The 5-day course went by quickly. The curriculum was packed with positive lessons that brought out greater confidence and skills to the group as well as providing time to allow each student to obtain personal assistance in developmental areas. I would like to thank Impact Factory for developing an outstanding course that imparted hands on knowledge without the need to suffer from PowerPoint or note taking. "

Arcadia

"Very insightful. Motivating. Great facilitators. Thank you for delivering a great workshop ."

Asda

“The way you allowed the learning to flow and keep us on track was fantastic and helped us with the learning process. You have provided me with plenty of ideas and tolls to change the way I work... “

BASF

"I’m still speechless. Within one working week, a level of mutual trust had developed that still moves me as I am writing this. Over the five days, I was shown the DNA of communication, it was the decoding of a blueprint with all its levers, bolts and details. The exact opposite of clumsy selling and practising of behavioural recipes. I hope to be able to apply some of this…
The last week was more than convincing!"

Balfour Beatty

"My team have used Impact Factory for a number of training needs and have always given the courses very positive feedback.
 Attendees also have mentioned they like the 'tailored' feel to the courses (even though they are open courses) and appreciate having two trainers run the courses.. The interactive style works well and people genuinely feel they have come away with new skills".

“Enjoyed the day and your delivery style was spot on for this course. Nice to be in a group that wasn’t filled with ‘cynical coppers’
 and the diversity of the group really made the day not only interesting to me but beneficial in my own development.”

Capsticks

“I think that a great deal was packed into the two days, but the balance for me was perfect and we covered everything that I hoped - if not more. I also came away feeling much more positive about the skills I already have - …Jacqueline and I have fed back to our own managers about how helpful we found the course and will also be feeding back to our own internal HR department.”

Construction Skills

“I found the environment and style of training very supportive and helpful. I have fed back to our HR Team that I found the course very useful and would certainly recommend an Impact Factory programme to a friend or work colleague. “

Diamond Jacks

“Noticed without thinking about it that my assertiveness has gone right up. Not sure if this is a common occurance but i've noticed it after an event, conversation etc. So the course has possibly had a subliminal effect?”

Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc

”The trainers did an excellent job. They were proactive in seeking out exactly what each person was trying to obtain from the course. They provided good tips and tools on how to effectively improve communication.. They were also all very personable and adept at group dynamics which made it easy for everyone to participate and quickly congeal as a group which made the week more effective.”

“Interactions with my problem people are now a LOT smoother. Most of the issues I thought I had with them were assumptions and just turning up my listening and being more responsive has really helped.”

" We loved your approach and enthusiasm. In short, you were fabulous. Impact Factory are certainly an organisation who deliver the goods! "

Southeastern

"Over the past year, we have put a large number of our staff through Assertiveness and Presentation Skills courses. Initially, it was like pulling teeth getting the guys to agree to go on these courses because they thought it would be boring, dull and pointless. Duh! They couldn’t have been more wrong!

One year on, things are so different. Through a combination of understanding, kindness and expertise, even the most nervous and sceptical staff found their inner confidence and came back singing Impact Factory’s praises!

I now have staff from all other parts of the business begging me for the chance to train with Impact Factory, and with such a buzz around these training courses, we are now exploring with Impact Factory other areas of management development. "

Subsea7

“Very focused, effective, one to one coaching. What particularly worked for me was the relaxed environment, small group and a lot of ‘air time’ for each person on the course. Very useful and some good tips for future presentations.”

TT Electronics plc

"I presented our year end results to our Board last week and tried to bring in some of the techniques used, and felt a lot more confident of the impact that I was having. I have various other investor meetings next week which will give me further opportunities to present."

UCAS:

"I really can’t tell you how useful the course was for me…’life-altering’ is on the tip of my tongue. I did the dreaded presentation on Monday. The audience seemed to love it and I have already had three people come to tell me specifically how brilliant they thought it was.”
