So pleased the course went ahead - very useful. Key points addressed and support given. Opportunity to ask questions and relate to my own personal experience. Good examples provided too of different scenarios to help me remember key points. Thank you!

I love that this was a small cohort - made it easier to be vulnerable. Michael was incredible. He understood all our challenges (given the whole class was female) and was empathetic. I've taken a lot from this course and would recommend to others.

This was my 3rd visit to Media Training, and I never leave disappointed. Michael created a lovely learning environment and gave me an insightful introduction to assertiveness. I was lucky enough to be the only person in the class so was able to ask all my questions and have personalised advice. I now have lots of practical tips and things to think about when approaching being more assertive in the future.

The pace and content were perfect for me. Lots to consider, and to put into practice. Nice to have just two of us in the session! In particular a work issue was talked through, which not only re-focused my priorities, but enabled me to decide how to deal with it. Overall a great session that I would strongly recommend.
