Testimonial
Esther van den Hengel (Director of Operations Faculty of Science):
"We experienced Leeuwendaal's Effective Conversation Training as a particularly good, tailor-made training course that prepared us well for conducting bad news interviews. During the training there are several opportunities to practice your own case with actors. Both trainers and actors are flexible and respond to the current situation, increasing the effectiveness of the training. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with bad news interviews."
