Training Reviews

I recently attended the Working Effectively at Clifford Chance training session and found it to be an incredibly valuable and uplifting experience. One of the standout aspects was the smaller group size, which created a more inclusive environment. Everyone had the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and genuinely included in the discussions.

The session encouraged open dialogue, and participants were free to express their views and share personal experiences without hesitation. This openness was largely thanks to Martin, who facilitated the session with warmth, empathy, and professionalism. Martin fostered a safe and supportive space where people felt comfortable being honest and reflective, which made the session not only informative but also deeply engaging.

Overall, the training was a brilliant example of how thoughtful facilitation and a well-structured format can empower individuals to connect, learn, and grow together. Highly recommended!

I attended Martin’s session on working effectively in the workplace and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people he is training- he was very interactive throughout, delivered super helpful takeaways (especially relevant in professional settings) and also extended candid advice on how to keep up with an incredibly fast-paced and often times challenging career environment. I highly, highly recommend Martin’s sessions if you have the opportunity to attend them, I am confident you will leave the room with more wisdom.

The Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership was very well received. Participants found the sessions engaging, practical, and highly beneficial, with appreciation expressed for the instructor’s time, travel, and expertise.

The interactive discussions and exercises were effective in applying leadership and communication concepts to real shipboard situations. Several attendees noted they could use the material to address challenges with difficult crew members.

Overall, this training was viewed as excellent, relevant, and valuable in enhancing leadership effectiveness and promoting stronger communication across the fleet.

I recently attended the “Presenting with Impact Virtually” training workshop led by Martin Chapman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and practical experience. Martin’s delivery was professional yet friendly, making the virtual format feel interactive and enjoyable. The session was well-structured, with clear slides and practical examples. I highly recommend his training services for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills in a virtual setting.

I recently attended Martin’s ‘Working Effectively’ and ‘Professional Business Communication’ online training sessions and both were excellent. Martin is very engaging and ensures that participants all contribute to discussion. The sessions were very useful, drawing on real anecdotes and scenarios relevant to our level of work. I found both training sessions impactful and will carry the lessons learned into my work. Thanks Martin!

I attended this session delivered by Martin and found it very insightful and engaging. Martin shared very realistic scenarios which required us to challenge how we would respond and the impact of different ways of saying things. A very interactive session and it was easy to remain engaged. I took away a lot from it

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

Thank you Martin for a fantastic workshop on Professional Business Communication. I have learnt a lot and found it very enjoyable. I have a lot to take away with me and will be trying your suggestions and tips going forward.

Great training session, really engaging and informative. Martin gave of lots of tips to use in our day to day work lives. Great overall!

It was very informative and engaging especially we have had the chance to do some role plays in the breakout rooms. Very helpful.

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 the course was a little longer.

Get to know yourself and those around you

Martin was a brilliant trainer on the working effectively and communication courses – I learned a lot of new techniques that I’m already putting to good use in the work place, and the overall vibe of sessions was great!

This class is 3 hours but it didn’t feel like it. It helped that the class is interactive and each person gets a chance to speak at one time or another. Martin did a great job keeping us engaged. I like the way he explained the topics and I genuinenly walked away with some great pointers regarding communication styles.

He made the session interesting and engaging, and gave some really helpful tips for working effectively! Definitely one of the best trainers I’ve come across in sessions like this – would recommend.

Martin is a really friendly instructor whose enthusiasm came through even in a virtual training session. He aimed to create rapport among the attendees which I really appreciated. It was great meeting him!

Really enjoyed how interactive this workshop was. I am now putting people into communication style boxes!!

It was the perfect balance between theoretical and situational approaches.

The workshop was very interactive, making it engaging. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks to Martin for an interesting and engaging session – we had lots of good discussions, had a chance to reflect, and learned quite a few things! Martin was great throughout and we all thoroughly enjoyed our morning!
