Since the completion of the eight sessions "Supervisory Development Programme", we have observed high levels of engagement and a great sense of "ownership" among our supervisors. We have also observed them working more closely together as a team. Perhaps the greatest compliment comes from those who attended the workshop, who enthusiastically attended the sessions and enjoyed your supportive, high energy and enthusiastic facilitating style.

Under the banner of "Becoming The Best Programme", your workshops were well-received by our staff who found the series of eight weekly sessions practical, relevant and fun. The ability to deliver the content in both English and Cantonese further added value to the learning, as did the requirement for all participants to set specific personal goals relevant to the weekly sessions.

Robert has "open-up" the staff's minds to think differently towards customer services; there is a significant difference in our workplace atmosphere. Thanks to your magic hands, the staff in different functions appear to have a better relationship with each other.
- Director of Personnel & Administration, Air Macau
Putting sixty people through a one-day "Customer Service Improvement Workshop" like this is not easy but Robert and Charlotte lead the workshop superbly well bringing all your own wealth of first hand customer service experience to bear. My staff remarked how refreshing it was to have a business person who "got his hands dirty at the sharp end" leading the workshop rather than the usual kind of trainer they encounter.
