Testimonies

"Highly consistent, efficient, dynamic, caring performance."

“When I was a PhD candidate, my supervisor was outstanding. Now I know why.”

“I feel as though I just acquired several years’ worth of experience.”

"The good surprise for me was not to find a training course that "unrolls slides", but rather a lively discussion led by the trainers and also by the trainees. The support is now just a means of directing the exchanges on particular points where everyone can share their experience and their point of view."

“A credible role-playing exercise clearly illustrating a tense discussion. Since it is rare to be able to analyse a touchy situation dispassionately, the exercise was very beneficial for reviewing all the take-aways from the training.”

“I became aware that I was supervising my PhD candidate as a teacher supervises a student. In fact, a management approach is what is needed.”

"I won't be recruiting my PhD students like I used to!"

“I realized that I was basically improvising. Now I have some tools.”

"I hesitated to come, I don't regret having moved my classes to be here."

"It was very good, really! You make us think."
