What participants say
“In thirty years as a consultant that was the best professional training I ever had”
“A great course-Julian is an extraordinary teacher and mentor”
“I can’t see how you could improve on this-maybe make it longer and cheaper”
“This is the third time I have sat in on this course and each time I learned something new, something important”
“I found the course to be provocative and revelatory in many, many ways. As I've said to many people since, I wish I'd known the half of it when (a) applying for jobs and (b) dealing with clients in previous lives”
“All our VP’s should attend this course”
“Overall I very much enjoyed the tactical, practical nature. It wasn't "here's how to build a relationship over the long term" type blah, which one can read [in books]. It was "here's how to make the most of what may be your one and only meeting with a senior guy". Hence rapport, voice patterns, mind-reading were all particularly useful”.
“I hate training. It’s boring. It usually takes a day to deliver three worthwhile insights which you can understand in a second anyway. The trainer is horribly sincere, unnervingly upbeat...and you would not dream of ever having dinner with them-but there they are teaching you things. At the end of it all whatever it was you learned or did has no shelf life: it just does not seem to apply to anything practical that you actually do or need and you gratefully forget all about it.
So you put my prejudices severely under threat....
Happily I’ve found a way out of this. The two days of your ‘course’ I’ve decided were not training at all. They were more about imparting insight, opening our minds to realities that are enhancing to know about and take into consideration...it was great fun and truly stimulating [and] I know that what you had to tell us and way you put it across will have a lasting impact in making my life and that of those around me better”
