" Time and again, members of the company, who have attended Najberg Milne’s programme, return inspired and eager to put into practice the skills that he has helped them to unleash. And repeatedly, I receive overwhelming feedback from senior managers concerning the positive step-changes that have taken place to the staff that have attended and the advantages this is now giving to their business.
I have never forgotten the skills and experiences that I have personally obtained from Najberg Milne, nor will I ever hesitate in encouraging other organisations to experience and benefit from the same. "
Mark Moorton, HR Director, AXA
" I arrived on the first morning of “Winning Hearts and Minds” with a mixture of disinterest and skepticism. I had taken several presentation and communication skills courses before and, while they were useful, they all seemed superficial; and, within weeks, I reverted to my previous communication styles. After one day with Najberg Milne, I knew I was being taught, not just how to present, but how to communicate with other people in order to make a connection. After the course I knew I had undergone a life-changing experience. Indeed, nothing was ever the same about the way I communicated after that. I had learned.
And the skills I had learned in “Winning Hearts and Minds” helped me build and promote the fastest-growing revenue segment in the company at the time. I made the programme required training for all my sales people and all my managers, and I am confident it contributed to our team’s revenue growth.
I would recommend Najberg Milne to any organisationthat is ready and willing to change the way they communicate both internally and externally. "
Andrew Smith, Sales Director, SAP
“The Training “Winning Hearts and Minds” is truly innovative and educational. My speech is now more fluidand I am way more confident. After the training, I had to make a presentation in front of a larger audience, theresult was: my presentation was vivid, I had a lot of fun delivering it and I found myself being convincing. This training is highly recommended. ”
