Personal Development Training (Negotiation Skills)

June 27, 2025

Martin is a fantastic trainer and easy to talk to. He makes the course easy to process and allows plenty of time to discuses anything you need clarifying. The course has been designed well and was adaptable to make it more relevant and personal to meet my target needs I was hoping to achieve.

I would recommend anyone to sign up for a course with Martin based of my personal experience and I look forward to working with him again within the future

Inclusive and thought provoking

I really enjoyed the course and this was helped by having Martin Chapman.

He was really engaged with us all and ensured we remained engaged throughout. I took a couple of points away from the course, that I will be working on over the next couple of months. It was very interesting listening to different management styles and experiences from the other delegates.

As the team were so engaged and we were clearly enjoying the course, I wish to course was a little longer.
