‘The biggest compliment I can give Cyrus is that I took the programme 15 years too late! I have been on a lot of training courses and this is by far the best.’

‘An eye-opening experience – helps to see what type of personality you have and the skills that you can use from your strengths to be a good manager. Cyrus is great at engaging you and keeping focus.’

‘One of the best training programmes I have attended. Helped me understand the person I am and the type of manager I want to be. The teaching mechanism is designed to keep you fully engaged and all programmes are relevant in day to day management life.’

‘The course which has been put together by Maximum Performance has something for everyone. The modules are well thought-out and well presented, including the use of games and quiz questions which really help to get the message across.’

‘Shows what kind of person I am, strengths / weaknesses, live examples / toolkits that apply to real life work situations.’

‘I am recommending this programme to a lot of people! I am saying that, “This programme is different! It is interactive, it is refreshing and it changes the way you are as a manager and relational to people. The contents are extremely good and relevant”.’

‘Training courses can be dry and boring, regardless of the content, if not delivered with enthusiasm – Cyrus has it by the bucketload!’
