Feedback from the training
"I loved the individual explanations! Incredibly interesting, and the results were sometimes surprising. But once you dug into the sub-domains in detail, it all made sense. It gives a great foundation for developing teamwork and resolving conflicts. It helps you understand team members' reactions and behaviour and fosters an understanding attitude and a solution-focused approach. Highly recommend it! 10/10"
Liina
"The test was easy to understand, and it was interesting to follow the team members' scores. You learn to understand yourself and others better and to take them into account more. The test was accurate (about myself). I recommend the test, because it helps you understand yourself and others better. The trainer, Jaanika, explains in a very engaging way and gives great examples. 10/10"
Andrea
"The test really captured personality. It draws out a clear overview of the team's strengths, values and weaknesses. I definitely recommend it, especially when you need to work on group dynamics. The structure of the training is clear and the explanations add to it. The trainer is amazing! Thank you! 10/10"
