We worked with Paul and his NxtGEN team on a Sales and Organisational Development programme over a four-month period, and I must say we are delighted with the outcome. Paul helped identify a number of areas where we could improve performance, and he tailored the communications module of the course to ensure our sales and engineering teams had the tools to dig beneath the surface of what the client initially asked. I’d highly recommend NxtGEN to any organisation who want to upskill their sales negotiation skills..
I have recently done the “Corporate ovations” training and I have to say it is a complete game-changer. It is the most useful personal development course that I have done in the past few years. Paul is excellent presenter and delivered the content in very engaging way. The training gives you tips that you can actually use in practice. I am really happy with the way I deliver presentations now. The skills set gained from the training can be applied even in conversations when you want to make impact. I would highly recommend the training to anyone.
I can honestly say that this course + facilitator was the “best ever”. Really enjoyed throughout and so beneficial. I would highly recommend this course to other colleagues. Many thanks.
The NxtGEN Corporate Ovations one day training course was very intense and very practical. In a small group environment, the participants made obvious transformation with practical tools, attentive guidance and endless tips from Paul. Public speaking was de-mystified and broken down scientifically. The session was an eye opener that presenting is about the audience and the message, not the speaker. This perspective has really helped me to build confidence in my learning journey of public speaking.
I am writing to thank you for the impact you have had on my career. I had the opportunity twice in the last month to present off-the-cuff to two separate groups of 20 or more individuals. In both cases I was tremendously successful and I owned the space in front of my audience. Each time I was asked afterwards if I presented for a living, which you will know I do not. In fact, you might remember our first workshop during which I was a shambles having to stand and present in front of a small number of peers and friends alike. In short, the guidance, training, and experience you have given me has allowed me to take my own skills development into my own hands and I am now looking for any opportunity whereby I can increase my presentation skills. I have confidence in my own ability to deliver a killer speech, and I am armed with a toolkit thanks to you that will allow me to grow from strength to strength. I work for a large multinational and have recently changed roles within. I now find there is an even greater demand on me to present in front of senior stakeholders and my ability to do so is with doubt having an impact on my career. This career change comes as I am closing out my MBA with Smurfit which you will recall, I chose initially because of your “Sample Lecture” two years ago. You impacted my decision to do my MBA with Smurfit and you have impacted my ability to overcome my presentation fears in a most glorious way. Because of these influences you have had a massive impact on my career and I am very grateful. If anyone is considering engaging you as a mentor, professional trainer, especially around the area of developing presentation and / or negotiation skills, please send them my way for a most sincere and strong recommendation.

Paul was very engaging and helpful. He had a wealth of knowledge and was eager to impart his wisdom to the group. The energy levels on the course were excellent. Personally, I found the course extremely beneficial to my limited presentation experience.
