I took the presentation skills training by Mabel and John weeks ago. The training was taken in a hotel which the environment was nice and comfortable. We were in a very small group only 6 people, so the communication was smoothly and deeply. What impressed me most is that they are very professional and would give you very concrete advise to improve your skills! - July 2016

She is very patient and easy going. I think if the vedio could be sent to the student would be better.One can learn a lot from her expression and gestures which he might overlooked. - July 2016

Bij de training presentatievaardigheden was veel individuele aandacht mogelijk omdat de trainingsgroep maar uit 6 personen bestond met 2 trainers. Daarnaast was er veel ruimte voor feedback. Ik had graag wat meer voorbeelden gezien van hoe het wel moet en hoe je vooral niet moet presenteren d.m.v. video's en meer algemene tips en informatie. - June 2016

A day of training in presentation skills with long-term impact! Our group received concrete and constructive feedback. What I liked most is that no 'ideal format' of presenting was being sold, but instead everyones very own and unique style of presenting was emphasized. I would like to recommend this training not only because of its quality, but also because of the passionate way it is delivered. - June 2016

The one day presentations skills training was absolutely one of the best trainings I have attended. The trainers were great, creating a safe and inspiring environment, allowing lots of room for practice and personalised feedback. Mabel and John focused on improving presentation skills, but in a manner in which each participant's own character was appreciated. - July 2016

Mabel is een zeer enthousiaste en inspirerende trainer, ze heeft veel aandacht voor jou als persoon binnen de groep, je krijgt hands-on experience, en ik heb veel praktische tips gekregen die je ook direct moet toepassen; op deze manier kan je direct zien of je het doorhebt. - July 2016

The Presentation Skills course gives you a very nice introduction on how to improve your presentation performance focusing more on how you can influence and stimulate your audience. This course doesn't focus on how to create presentation slides but more on how to teach yourself to stand strong and confident during a presentation. Another reason I liked this course is because it is provided for a small group of people, which gives you the chance to practice and get feedback.Both trainers are experienced and wiling to help you. - June 2016

Iedereen kan een presentatie beoordelen. Maar wat maakt een presentator nu precies goed? Zelf de juiste trucjes vinden om een zo goed mogelijke presentatie te geven is zo makkelijk nog niet. In deze cursus wordt je op enorm vertrouwelijke wijze geconfronteerd met wat jou persoonlijk kan helpen. - June 2016

Good course for anyone who wants to improve presentation skills. Trainers give practical tips for everyone, but also enough individual tips. The feedback you get is really helpful. I definitely would recommend this course and trainers. - June 2016

I started the course feeling a bit unconfident about my presentation skills. The trainers gave me personal and very practical tips. The exercises I had to do during the day already gave me a feeling of confidence. I appreciated the personal approach of the trainers and I am very glad I attended this one day course. - May 2016

I would highly recommend this course led by Mabel. If you are not especially confident in your presentation skills it is a great opportunity to get some personalised training. Even though it is in a group, you get a great deal of individual feedback and rather than the typical cliches that one hears often at such events, the advice and feedback was practical and will definitely be of use! Thanks a lot for all your help. - May 2016

Due to the small size of the class, I received helpful and personal feedback on my presentation skills. The content of the course was very much tailored to the participants. I would describe the course as more of a workshop because it was so interactive. The trainers were very approachable and knowledgeable. Overall, I found the course very enjoyable and useful. - May 2016

A one day course I would recommend anyone who tries to improve their presenting skills, regardless of your current skill level. The trainers did not only provide some general tips and tricks, but also laid a lot of attention on personalized improvements, making this course an very useful one. - May 2016

Mijn ervaring is zeer positief. De trainers waren zeer deskundig en gaven persoonlijk advies. De training stond voor een groot deel uit het oefenen van preseteren en het geven en ontvangen van feedback van de trainers en de andere cursisten. De kleinschaligheid van de training vond ik zeker ook een pré, daardoor hing er vertrouwelijk sfeer en was iedereen open. Locatie was prima. De lunch super de luxe. Ik heb veel geleerd en ga dit zeker toepassen in de praktijk - January 2016

An intensive training of presentation skills offered me a systematic knowledge concerning academic presentation. The content of this training included: how to present both clearly and in an engaging manner; how to get your audience on board within a few minutes; how to appeal to all kinds of audience types. I enjoy all the practice parts most. Participants can give comments and feedbacks to each other, which made me learn a lot. - February 2016

Twee weken geleden heb ik deelgenomen aan de presentatiecursus. De dag begon met een korte presentatie van jezelf voor de camera. De beelden zijn later met de hele groep terug gekeken. Confronterend, maar wel een goede manier om te zien of dingen die je zelf fout denkt te doen, ook daadwerkelijk zo overkomen op het publiek. Alle deelnemers kregen persoonlijke aandachtspunten mee, waarmee we middels oefeningen direct aan de slag konden. Deze 1-daags cursus geeft de gelegenheid om op eigen niveau met je eigen aandachtspunten aan de slag te gaan. De groepen zijn klein en de sfeer is open en ongedwongen. Concluderend en cursus die ik zeker zou aanraden! - February 2016

De trainingen bij Mabel hebben mij veel energie gegeven om met goede moed aan de slag te gaan met presenteren. Het begint allemaal bij een goede basis. Ook ben ik door de trainingen gaan inzien wat voor mij de beste manier is om overtuigend te spreken. De persoonlijke aanpak heeft mij erg geholpen. - February 2016

In January 2016, I participated in the one day training on presentation skills by Mabel. It was a great experience! During this training, I learned various tricks to improve my presentation skills. What I really enjoyed was that each participant received a lot of personal attention. It was also a very practical training. Mabel made participants to exercise various elements of presentation and she also took enough time to understand the weak points of each participant and to give feedback. She let us practice again and again until we really improved ourselves. It was much better than receiving just some theoretical tips because improving your presentation skills needs practice. Moreover, it was a fun day and Mabel managed to create a very open and friendly environment. - January 2016

The training has brought me ‘tailor-made advice’ on how I can be a better presenter. The advice is very to the point and easy to actually apply in practice. This is very valuable; most trainings I have been to so far made some nice points, but those were rather generally applicable, logical (I felt like those were more ‘common sense’) and in a way that straight forward, that they remained just general. This training is de facto really useful, which makes it extremely valuable. What I also really liked was the teacher, Mabel. She dared us to do different things, was really honest and to the point, but at the same time she established a really nice atmosphere such that everybody was comfortable enough to perform. The way Mabel taught challenged us to implement changes on the spot. This was extremely useful, as you are taking the extra step: 1) you perform; 2) you watch your recorded performance evaluate it; 3)you get advice; 4) and you do it again taking into account the advice. Learning-by-doing is indeed really helpful, and for me it was really good to apply the tips directly in a presentation. Btw, Mabel is fluently in English, but can also teach in Dutch. I took the training in English. - January 2016

At the begging of this month I had the chance to take part in the training 'Present with impact, one day'. The activity was part of my educational training as a PhD students of the Law School of the Tilburg University. I received in advance a form to express my wishes and expectations about the course and, then, according to them a small exercise. I took the course with other 4 participants and I liked working in a small group since every one had the opportunity to receive personal feedback. I really find the training very useful to improve my presentation skills. I gained more awareness about what is going on when people are presenting their work. I really had a good time not only because of the quality of the content and of the exercises, but also thanks to the openness of the trainer and of the other participants! I enjoyed most the second exercise where, after some ‘tips’ in theory, we really had the chance to apply these tips on the spot! with not so much preparation! the outcome was a clear improvement of our presentations! I also really enjoyed the interaction with the other participants, I learned a lot from their ways to apply the practical tips in their exercises. Last, but not least, I very much appreciated that , after the training , the trainer shared with us additional videos and tips via e.mail! This move gave me the impression that the learning experience was not over! I would love to have a training like this oriented towards strategies for successful job interviews. - January 2016
