Testimonials

Owing to the clarity of training materials and the high information potential of the course, only two things were required of us: open minds and concentration. This compendium of knowledge was conveyed in a highly attractive way.

Mediator's interactive workshops imparted knowledge and skills on many levels with the use of games and simulations.

This unconventional training formula proved to be highly attractive and effective, and it was met with high acclaim from the participants.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to two wonderful people whom I first met 7 years ago (...).

Our last meeting was yet another break-through point in my professional growth, my self-knowledge and understanding of other people. Above all, the training taught me how to plan and live a meaningful life.

I have the great pleasure of recommending Kasia and Darek as professional business partners who will accurately diagnose the group's needs and effectively assist the client in solving his problems. An innovative approach to conveying philosophical and psychological knowledge to training participants makes Kasia and Darek the most unique trainers I have ever worked with. Their workshops are always highly motivating, they give me an energy boost and they inspire me to continue searching for what we call the meaning of life.

As a trainer who works for a large foreign corporation, I took part in many training courses and workshops in Poland and abroad.

Mediator's "Team Management" training was a break-through experience in my professional and personal life. In short, the course provided me with a new outlook on seemingly unimportant situations. I have developed a&nbps;conscious and structured approach to situations that I had always considered to be important.

I recommend this course to all those who have seen everything as well as those who are only beginning to learn the ropes – you can't overestimate the power of higher awareness.

Initially, my expectations were based on what I had experienced during other training courses and workshops, namely the development of effective work tools (...). It turned out, however, that we would receive much more. Kasia and Darek led us through a group analysis process which provided me with an in-depth understanding of the underlying causes of my actions and other people's behavior.

During every workshop with Mediator, I expanded my level of awareness as a human being, manager, investor, father and husband. I participated in three Mediator courses.

When working with Mediator's trainers, you have to be ready for change, but in my case, every change was positive, and it enabled me to beat a crisis.

Every time we examine the nature of a problem, we diagnose its root causes. Mediator's trainers provide me with the relevant knowledge as well as tools for implementing the new skills in practice.

I was impressed by the level of professionalism that he exhibited in his training sessions. Dariusz is an articulate trainer who has significant experience in the field. Through his knowledge, experience and skills, Dariusz was able to use a variety of training techniques to transfer his knowledge of employment issues to the participants.

Based on the elements I have discussed,
I give Dariusz Horyd my highest possible endorsement.

The trainers demonstrate a high level of knowledge and skill. The taught courses were highly captivating. According to the participants, the acquired skills helped them to attain the set goals directly after the completion of training.

Mediator begins every program with a thorough diagnosis of needs based on participant interviews. After the audit, we received a detailed report with recommendations and a list of training courses that we could choose from.

The courses were taught in a highly interesting and interactive way. The trainers had an intuitive grasp of the participants' attitudes, and they adapted the level of knowledge and the training pace accordingly.

Most participants were of the opinion that Mediator's course was one of the best personal development programs they had ever attended.

I highly recommend Mediator's workshops. The offered courses improved our professional qualifications and, equally importantly, they enabled us to growth on a personal level. Colgate Palmolive Poland will definitely work with Mediator in the future.

The workshops fully accounted for our training needs which had been thoroughly analyzed by Mediator during an in-depth needs audit.

We were very satisfied with the trainers' level of skill, thorough preparation, their ability to create a friendly atmosphere, individual approach to participants, the quality of feedback information concerning the participants' strengths and weaknesses. Mediator's trainers relied on attractive case presentations to convey the knowledge in an unconventional manner. Our staff members are willing to attend other courses conducted by Katarzyna Kulikowska and Dariusz Horyd.

We recommend the course for trainers, in particular training professionals with several years of practical experience.

We have been working with Mediator on a myriad of projects over the past 5 years. All projects have been developed based on the results of an extended audit covering every area of operation (...). They were thoroughly consulted and modified to meet the specific needs of our business.

Various exercises and tasks were planned in between sessions, and the results were discussed in joint effort. All courses had highly attractive content and form which built the participants' trust and involvement. Our staff members found the learned skills to be highly useful not only in the workplace, but also in their personal lives.

Mediator's trainers are extremely flexible and innovative, and they swiftly respond to any changes that arise during the project. The communication process was always open, and Mediator's trainers and consultants were always available during the training and in between sessions.

We fully recommend Mediator as a skilled provider of standard and unconventional personnel development programs at all management levels. Knauf Bauprodukte will continue to rely on Mediator's training programs.

Assessment of training needs

During the many years of working with managers and experts responsible for human resource development and management, we have been frequently told that accurate assessment of training needs poses a problem. Our courses minimize those difficulties – we will diagnose your needs and report them for further analysis. Our audits have been frequently praised for their effectiveness. In many cases, negotiation failure does not result from the sales person's lacking skills but fear and avoidance of failure. Our courses are strongly result-oriented, and this is the key priority in our sales, training and personal development programs.
An accurate diagnosis of your training needs also serves our own interests – it determines the effectiveness of our courses, and it guarantees that our Clients do not overspend on training. Please feel free to check our references.
Every course is dedicated to the participants' specific needs, and it is tailored to the unique profile of our Client's business, market segment, individual expectations and limitations.
Every training project features customized solutions that account for the following:

I. Consultation meeting with the head of the team to elicit information and diagnose needs

The head of the team defines the anticipated results and presents his vision and strategy. He shares his opinions about the resources and the shortcomings of the team or the situation. We use the elicited information to set the directions for team development and to overcome the manager's personal limitations.

II. Interviews with prospective course participants
During this stage, team members' declared needs are diagnosed in a series of interviews.

III. Reporting on the results of needs assessment. Project modification and selection of the optimal training variant
The information collected at the first and second stage is summarized in a report, it is analyzed and interpreted. Specific measures targeting problems within the team are consulted with the manager. The selected training variant is modified.

IV. Task-oriented training
The participants acquire new skills, they learn how to perform tasks in their specific work environment, and they report on the progress during successive sessions. Group members participate in problem-solving simulations.

V. Follow-up
We assist course participants in putting their skills to practice in the workplace through:
  • supervisory sessions and personal consultations at defined time intervals,
  • online consultations.
