Participant Comments - Banking
"The workshop went beyond my expectations! The techniques learned in this course will assist me in every aspect of my life. I will recommend this course to other persons. The approach to presentation of the topics is very interactive. No two sessions are alike, hence the participant maintains a high level of interest throughout. Learning through observation and practice was very effective."
Carol Edey, City of Bridgetown Co-operative Credit Union Ltd, Bridgetown Barbados
"Excellent! The course material and role plays were not only effective but also very practical. The timing and punctuality of the instructors ensured that maximum results were obtained during each session. The workshop re-aligned my thinking as it related to conflict, from one of a defensive or adversarial approach to one of openness. The information highlighted the intrinsic value of mediation as opposed to taking harsher actions. I learned how to get to the root of the problem rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Both instructors were extremely affable and were very effective. They were able to clearly establish the parameters of the workshop without being offensive. A sense of humor and camaraderie resulted in a level of comfort that promoted participation. Both instructors were a repository of practical experience and reports that augmented the material under review."

"Though taking such active participation in a workshop is out of character for me, the nature of this workshop is so interactive that I was forced to be very active. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have learned some of the essential tools to effect a successful negotiation and mediation. The instructors had great ability to project and to elicit feedback. They were knowledgeable and experienced."
