Pacific Life Re - Inspirational Leadership
'I fully intend to use Phoenix again. This is because it is unusual for a training company to take so much time and effort to understand your requirements but also to deliver training which is actually practical. Everyone says that they deliver practical training which you can apply at work and I think that this is the only occasion when this has actually been the case. Also it is clear that there is some follow up support available and this is so appreciated. All this means that I can send people on a course and know that they will have a good experience.'

So, thanks very much indeed - I can honestly say it was the best training course I have ever done!'

'Well, your techniques worked a trick. At a recent client meeting I didn't just assume I knew what she wanted, which was the biggest revelation!

She has since made 7 bookings for the Christmas weekend package, with the potential to book more if they sell well.'
