“I was a fill in at the last moment and this training course was excellent. It was even more relevant to me as I need to change my communication style needs with a focus to positively influence others. The trainer was excellent; he made it acceptable for me to label my emotions and understand why it was affecting me. Joe drew visual diagrams; which were light bulbs moments for me. One example is understanding I needed to change my habits to achieve better outcomes, better results and more flexibility. The room was also great as we were a group of 4 (3 participants and 1 trainer).”

“The course overall was excellent and very helpful within our workplace with so many different personalities and dealing with families within our community. Angie the trainer was brilliant and the time just flew. She really tuned into us as a group”. 

-Heritage Pre School

""Most useful: The discussions during the course focuses on tools and techniques to resolve the problems identified with EQ rather than just identifying/classifying people. Also appreciated that the trainer highlights that the most important is to practice the tools and techniques and to allow mistakes and learn from them."

"Discussion in class was enlightening - sometimes in a situation you feel you haven't handled it well and the discussion highlighted situations where others had felt the same - this was good for me to realise that I'm not alone in some situations. I have since looked back over the worksheets and manual and have become more self-aware, especially in social situations I can look back and determine what my triggers are when I become defensive or emotionally upset by the words/actions of others." 

 -Women in Mining Network (WIMnet)

"Most useful part of the course was going through each of the 4 profiles together (people were sitting in groups), it really showed understanding of yourself especially sitting next to someone who may be similar, and hearing suggestions on how to deal with people from other profiles e.g. Advisors preferring one on one over group conversation."

"I found the Instructor really passionate about his subject. We were all surprised to know how much was there about Emotional Intelligence. We felt that it should have probably gone over two days. I got a lot more out of it than I expected." 

-Defence Learning Branch

"This course is absolutely great. It is very concise and yet action orientated to help build emotional intelligence. I would really appreciate a follow up session or perhaps a group follow-up forum/meeting to consolidate lessons-learned and debrief. Many thanks!" 

 -Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development

"Your trainer was great at building rapport, he was interesting and engaging. The training was great as a foundational course on emotional intelligence. I had a really lovely day and felt comfortable in the group and in the facilitation style of the trainer who has an obvious passion for his craft. Well done!" -Department of Communities, 

-Child Safety and Disability Services

"Candy was an outstanding trainer who provided an amazing amount of information, examples and self-awareness activities; demonstrating the vast amount of experience she has in her field. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and was an absolute pleasure to interact with. This was my first course with PD Training and I will be highly recommending these services to my managers and superiors for future reference." 

 -Westpac

"Anne was brilliant. The way in which she conducted herself and facilitated debate was unbelievable. Her knowledge on EQ and ability to answer our questions was great." 

 -Green Building Council of Australia

"This was the most engaging training I've ever attended. The trainer was very knowledgeable and responsive to the group's needs." "The separation of the group into their personal style and then talking through each of the styles and how they interacted with the other styles - was very good and the most effective part of the course." "One of the best "fit to task" trainers I have had in Justice courses. Respectful of participants, patient, personable."
