Matt's knowledge of this area is vast

Matt’s work in Negotiation throughout his time in the Greater Manchester Police and Control Risks is something that has displayed and enhanced his communication skills. I have been involved with training courses, that Matt has delivered and organised where I witnessed first-hand his ability to teach and deliver the subject matter due to his excellent communication skills. His knowledge of this area is vast, and this was achieved by the work experience in the GMP and furthering his education as he holds a PhD in terrorist negotiation studies with Manchester Metropolitan University. When delivering content, you can experience and benefit from his natural ability to teach and his passion and interest in this area. He can command a classroom teaching environment and encourages participants to provide input and feedback. He explains the content of what he is delivering by using real life experiences and knowing the tutorial content. I would highly recommend Matt to any organisation to deliver and teach any training that is required for your organisation.

Effective learning experience

I have had the pleasure of recently attending two of Matt's training courses, and both have been excellent. He combines his teaching with real life insights and practical advice, making for an incredibly effective learning experience. Additionally we had Matt come in to deliver a bespoke briefing to one of our crisis management leadership teams, and I know that was very well received by all who attended. In summary, I would highly recommend Matt, and would not hesitate to draw on his expertise once more.

Wow!...what an invaluable experience

Wow!...what an invaluable experience I found the training to be. It has left an imprint on me - I found myself experiencing interactions with people in a restaurant and shop yesterday evening with a new level of empathy and insight. I am really excited about developing my negotiation and communication skills, by using the tools you shared with us. Thank you for giving me this gift.

A real eye opener

Just wanted to thank you for the training last week. Probably the best course I have been on, a real eye opener with a lot of positive applications. Definitely something we should do more of in my opinion.

I loved the enthusiasm of Matt

Love the way in which the course was aimed at getting us to think of ways in which we can get the best out of our supply chain, consultants and colleagues. I loved the enthusiasm of Matt and some of the ideas he brought to the table for us, extremely simple yet seem very, very effective. The session was a real eye opener in the respect that appearance, first impressions and approach has on the people we meet & work with.

Understanding clients can certainly help us

Getting into the detail of human thought process and rational/emotional thinking is something we can absolutely relate to in Construction and we deal with different people with different values daily. Understanding clients and subcontractors values can certainly help us manage (manipulate them) for the benefit of the business.
