Testimonials

‘As the previous CEO of AIM SA and as a CEO of a large industry based membership/training organisation, I understand the potential value to organisations of quality training.

My experience tells me that organisations will achieve real value and real ‘take-way’ outcomes from training programs that are delivered by experienced, pragmatic ‘real-world’ Facilitators.

These Facilitators connect with participants and ensure that information is transferred in an interesting and informative way. The ‘teach today and implement tomorrow’ participant outcome is something only outstanding Facilitators can achieve. In my opinion, Brendan Hocking is one of these outstanding Facilitators.

I have had direct experience working with Brendan and through his thorough and meticulous upfront work with clients, he will always ensure that the desired training outcomes are achieved. From the first enquiry through to delivery and final review, clients can be guaranteed of a true partnership experience with Brendan. This partnership will lead to long term effective working relationships between both parties.

Clients want outcomes from their commitment to people development –Brendan Hocking will help your organisation achieve these.

If you are looking for a personable, experienced, client focused Facilitator who listens and actively works with clients to achieve real tangible outcomes, Brendan Hocking ticks all the boxes. It is with pleasure that I recommend him.’

Having worked with Brendan over the past 5 years I have no hesitation in recommending him to small, medium & large organisations looking for customised, high quality training. Brendan offers a wide range of training topics with the flexibility to be customised to exactly what you need. His training approach is engaging and participants respond well to his interactive style. Working with Brendan from an administrative perspective has been great, he’s reliable and great to brainstorm training ideas with. Brendan was part of our Professional Development Program (pilot) last year and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with him on our program again this year. Brendan is a knowledgeable, quality trainer with a great personality who has the ability to adapt to his audience regardless of the industry or topic.

I have also personally used Brendan as a sounding board for potential business ideas and training requirements.

I have always found Brendan to be thorough and comprehensive in the training he delivers. His ability to adapt programs and modules to our specific requirements is exceptional and he has always achieved a strong rapport with our staff as a result.
