A training worth recommending. Good dynamics, clear materials, frequent changes in pace and format. Tomek, as the facilitator, is not only a highly competent professional but also a friendly person, open to conversation, and adaptable to the training group's needs.

Michał Piotrowski, pracownik transportu wew. w BSH

Superb training, a wonderful experience, and a complete departure from all the trainings I've had so far, although it turned out to be unnecessary for my current position. Perhaps someday! :)

quotes
Michał Kielak, Project Manager, Expert Services

I recommend the training led by Tomasz Wykowski, CSPO. There is a lot of information, but it's presented in a very accessible way. It's not just about imparting knowledge but also dispelling any doubts and guiding you toward best practices. If someone doesn't achieve success in their role after this training, it's only because they haven't fully implemented the recommendations.

quotes

It met all my expectations in terms of coaching, program content, practicality, and the atmosphere. Above all, there was an immense amount of practical knowledge, which was my main goal. A Practitioner Trainer from whom you can gain a wealth of knowledge, leverage his experience, and adapt it to your needs. One of the best training sessions I have ever participated in.
