Getting Your Message Across Internationally

Testimonials

This is what some of our clients have said about us:

Stefano Valle - Digital Images Manager, Alamy Images:

James's explanations of how I can improve my communication skills were very valuable. He was an excellent trainer who had a wide knowledge of the subject. I found the course easy to follow and everything was explained thoroughly and in detail. James is very good at what he does and I would recommend him to others.

Igor Ivchenko - National Sales Manager, Fritolay, Russia:

This great guy has collected and shares with others his three main strengths: wonderful experience in different areas of business and human relationships, excellent skill in sharing his knowledge in a simple and intelligible way, and a great sense of humor. You will be lucky to communicate with him as trainer and also as a friend.

Hilary Price - Director, Natterjack Communications:

I have been on three courses led by James Shirreff - Project Management, Presentation Skills and Facilitation Skills. I gained a great deal from working with James as I found his courses were insightful and always contained varied and appropriate material. His greatest skill is his aptitude for engaging the whole team regardless of individual skill levels.

I started the Presentation Skills course with some anxiousness, and James immediately put me at my ease. He focused on my strengths, and by the end of the course I did a presentation in front of the whole group, and felt far more confident about myself, and my abilities.

He uses a variety of techniques which reflect his wealth of knowledge and experience working in the corporate and voluntary sectors. James is also great fun and a very warm and caring person; this enables all of his students to feel they are a little bit special.

Dr Mike Aiken - formerly Training Convenor for Centre for Continuing Education, University of Sussex, UK:

James made a great impact with the managers of not-for-profit and statutory organisations on the courses I was organising at Sussex University. The programmes he devised were relevant, stimulating and well informed. With James as a trainer, the attention is always on the participant and the group - the programmes are custom made and he pays great attention to detail. For the participants the training is seamless and exciting. For me as an organiser, James is someone I can always trust and rely on.

Dr Alan Bromley - Director, Facilitate UK:

The team who ran the Speaker Training workshops for senior physicians for us at a medical conference in Prague were highly skilled, organised and professional in their approach. They were able to adapt to the different nationalities in the groups, and spoke in a way that everyone could understand, even where their English was limited. I can certainly recommend them.

Robert Lakovnik - Competence Manager, Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Croatia

If you need my recommendation anywhere, I'll be more than happy to help. The evaluation results for the last two groups look even better than before - people just love you, Susanna.

Jill Heal - Southern Training Group

Students attending Susanna's courses have some of the most valuable and enjoyable voyages of self-exploration/evaluation and learning - they consistently return good feedback reports for the courses she has run for our group. I've seen Susanna get the most grudging candidate to join in AND enjoy themselves - a joy to watch!

Amanda Chen - Human Resources Development Team, Ericsson Taiwan

Your active teaching style and enthusiastic attitude really impress us! It's very lucky to be your student, Susanna.
