Testimonials
'That was outstanding – I liked it a lot – and more importantly so did the team. One quote from someone who’s been here 4 years was that was the best course he’d ever had! In one hour, you achieved more than some other ventures we’ve pursued have achieved in months. I'd recommend it to any organisation looking to level up their communication'
'(The Briefing Course) approach not only focused the discussion on decision-critical items but also reduced unnecessary noise. As a result, we saved significant time across all stakeholder groups and improved the quality of executive decisions'
‘I can highly recommend The Briefing Course. It made an immediate impact on the way we communicate as a function - ensuring key messages and decisions are clearly defined and highlighted early to senior management. In the specialty insurance market we are required to regularly distil complex topics in a way others can easily understand. Ben was invaluable in demonstrating techniques to achieve this in a simple and structured manner’
‘Excellent and unmissable training for anyone who briefs decision makers or writes reports’
‘I would thoroughly recommend Ben and the course. It was incredibly useful, engaging and thought-provoking, and the learnings and content will have a positive impact on how communication develops throughout the business. Thank you!’
‘I would highly recommend working with Ben to move to ultra effective communications. Ben presents an ultra effective communication process that reverses the more cumbersome 'demonstrate that you did extensive research; bring the reader or meeting attendees along that journey; and then get to the key conclusion(s) or ask for guidance' format that is a burden to most businesses. ’
‘I found the session with Ben incredibly helpful — focused, reassuring, and tailored to exactly what I needed. Ben quickly grasped the context and offered practical advice that boosted my confidence in preparing briefings for others. His calm, encouraging approach has made a real difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.’
