My colleagues are thrilled to support my proposals

“If you want to convince someone of your idea, it’s not sufficient to have a brilliant idea. This training helped me better understand what drives my American colleagues but also what drives me as a person. I learned to apply both and create proposals my colleagues not only can identify with but are thrilled to support. Through the supervision there was lots of room for practicing, listening, feedback and learning. The supervision shows Marjoleine is not only a great trainer but also an excellent listener and coach.”

I am so much more aware now.

”I have been working with Americans for 20 years. I recognise a lot in your training. It is exactly as you describe it. Only now it is all coming together. I didn’t know that this was behind it. I am so much more aware now.”

The level of communication with my American colleagues has greatly increased!

“The training thought me that communicating (in business) with another person starts with knowing that person’s background/culture. The level of communication with my American colleagues has greatly increased after applying the knowledge I now have.”

The right way

“Marjoleine has a real passion for listening and communicating in the RIGHT way, to Americans”.
