I signed up for the program « EBRD Advice for Small Businesses in Lebanon.” I had the pleasure to attend two courses developed and delivered by Ms. Janet Poot. The topics were “Change Management for Consulting,” and “Organizational Governance for Consultants in Lebanon.” I enjoyed the four-day ONLINE training classes because Janet communicated her experience and knowledge in a very smooth and in-depth manner! I truly appreciated how she connected with us. She was a natural. Her language, pronunciation, voice tone, and smile were truly appreciated! She is professional, respectful, friendly, a good listener, and she can cater to any question using her extensive practice and knowledge. I am looking forward to many other training sessions with Ms. Poot.
Thank you also for being so organized and efficient, you’ve already become a benchmark among our consultants and trainers… If my calculations are correct, you got an overall score of 5.9 out of 6, which is a record for Romania! (and well deserved).
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development invited me to online training, as part of the EU-funded Advice for Small Businesses program our trainer was Ms. Poot. Ms. Poot, the training was conducted with a Swiss timing and regularity, the documentation and presentation material was professionally prepared to focus on the subject despite the disparity and the specialization of the audience. We appreciated very much the level of the intellectual intelligence provided to us and your sense of motivation in a very depressing circumstance due to the local situation and the pandemic in Lebanon. I sincerely also appreciate your sense of a very good diplomatic answers and with correct advise despite the cultural and geographical location, since the Levant region is very complex.
I want to thank you for accepting to be our trainer, even if you had to make many exceptions. It was a real pleasure meeting you, We received only positive feedback from our participants and I can`t wait to have you again for the next training.
