Simona Giancola

"The training course was clearly very well prepared and customised to our wishes, needs and work context. I was happly pleased with People Matter's training approach: a safe space for everyone, a relaxed yet productive atmosphere, practical and relevant exercises, enough time for reflection and asking questions, etc. At the end of the day, I felt energized, I felt that I had learnt really something helpful that I could directly apply in my daily work reality. And I even had fun with all my colleagues! Totally recommended!" - 20-02-2020 19:03

"Simona was goed in staat een groep senior medewerkers in het gareel te houden. Nu klinkt gareel misschien wat negatief maar in een groep ervaren mensen met veel eigen meningen is het vasthouden van de rode draad belangrijk en dat deed Simona heel goed! Hierdoor haalden we allemaal het maximale uit het programma. Verder gebruikte Simona veel voorbeelden uit haar persoonlijke leven en dat hielp de materie tot leven te brengen. Simona is verder een heel aardige dame die oog heeft voor iederen in de groep (dus ook de mensen die minder op de voorgrond zijn). Wat ik voor verbetering vatbaar vind is haar vaardigheid in de Engelse taal want ook al spreekt ze goed Engels, soms moest ze voor mijn gevoel teveel zoeken naar de juiste bewoordingen en dat haalt het momentum uit de sessie. Al met al een leuke en leerzame dag gehad." - 22-10-2019 14:34

"This was one of the best training courses I followed in my whole career. It was eye-opening, active, fun...We did a lot of practice on our own case-studies, and that was extremely useful. We had to help and learn from each other, which was a great bonding experience with colleagues. Really recommended!" - 22-10-2019 07:13

"The training was clearly very carefully prepared and thoughtfully delivered. The trainer paid a lot of attention to our needs, created a very safe environment where it was easy and nice for everyone to parciticipate. The training course was both very informative and very much fun. I noticed that a lot of what we learned stayed with me even after some weeks, and normally that is not the case with other courses I took. I think that the fact that we practised a loI really helped. I highly recommend this company and the trainer." - 21-10-2019 18:03

"Good energy, pacing is good and can deliver well the course. It was interesting and effective communication course. Worth trying out as sometimes we tend to ignore the basic communication rules." - 09-07-2018 07:16

"I participated at the training of trainers and had the pleasure to have Simona as one of my coaches.
Simona is a professional who knows how to create fun and interesting learning experiences for everyone. With a great structure and interactive techniques she makes sure that the outcome of her training is fruitful for people with different types of learing preferences. The best is her tranquil attitude, that creates a warm and save atmosphere during the training. She is not only a good speaker, but also a good listener that makes sure everybody can perform at their best." - 19-02-2018 10:01

"This training has been life changing. I have learnt a lot in a practical way, and all l learnt greatly benefits my everyday work. I have especially enjoyed the active learning tecniques exercises. It can be stressful to deal with frustrated customers, and now l feel much more confident to succeed in that. I have tried what l learnt already in the days immediately after the training and it works! Take this course, it is a life changer." - 09-02-2018 22:52

"This course was so useful to me! It was very concrete, we learnt by exercising on real cases, some brought by us, and the trainer was very professional and knowledgeable. You could see that she really cared about the participants, how they felt, how much they learnt. I also enjoyed a lot her cheerful and calm way to deal with us. She was very available to answer all our questions and she consulted with us before the training course - to check our needs - and after the course and the follow up - to evaluate our learning and experience. We felt very much protagonist of the whole program. I totally recomend this course. What you learn stays with you and you will surely apply it." - 09-02-2018 20:52

"Ik heb veel cursussen in mijn leven gevolgd, maar de cursus van Simona was de beste dat ik ervaren heb. De training was zeer effectief, het heeft ons concrete ideeën opgeleverd. Echt aanrader!" - 09-02-2018 20:08

"I was lucky to experience the work of Simona as a trainer first hand. She is the type to like; cheerful and happy (energy).
Next to this she is extremely present; taking the lead when necessary, seeing what needs to be seen and respond perfectly.
Her sharpness and accuracy as a trainer combined with her open, outgoing and uplifting attitude made this training experience with her one that made me feel confident and supported!" - 09-02-2018 19:36
