While working in the corporate world, I had been pondering on some business ideas but was not sure what to do with them or how to take them to the next level, until I attended Stephanie Vermeulen’s EQ seminar. It was the changing point in my and my partner’s lives. Our own business is almost three years old and we are going from strength to strength. All this is thanks to Stephanie who made us focus on the right things in life and steered us by realising that if you don’t take the steps or make the changes in your own life nobody else will do it for you! Thanks Stephanie

The real benefit of this course lies in its application over time. Delegates were not "hyped up" only for the duration of the course, but were able to apply this course to their lives in their own way - they were given more than just a guru to aspire to. They were provided with practical, valuable guidelines for improving their home and work lives and the degree of success they attain in these areas. They are well equipped now to make
changes, having worked on their confidence levels and self-esteem.

Stephanie's programme is very empowering. It helps people explore themselves in a way that is very different to what we've previously known. South Africa needs to focus on EQ instead of being bogged down with the negativity of past issues. If we can
all learn these skills to focus on ourselves and our own contribution to making this country great then we can really move forward.

I have been interested in this type of training since 1986 and have been exposed to many courses that promise to help people lead better lives. In the long run I've not seen much benefit from these other programmes and have often felt that the only beneficiaries have been the presenters themselves and perhaps the caterers. The difference with Effectiveness Training is these courses have been developed from a credible research base and all programmes are run by Stephanie herself, or people she has personally trained and vetted. As a result the material is good and presented by people who use the material themselves. This is not an imported packaged product, it relates to our experiences in this country. Even although I introduced these courses a few years ago, people still mention what a difference they made in their lives.

Stephanie Vermeulen claims to 'change attitudes' and many other training organisations make this promise too. However, through a unique process, her delegates gain insight into themselves and then they learn techniques that turn the promise into reality. The true test is when we evaluate The Effective Training Corporation and determine how individuals have not only changed but also enriched their lives and their jobs.
