What Martin Buursen's clients say

Here is some of the feedback from audiences and clients who have worked with Martin.

"I worked with Martin on two different occasions. At first, he was my facilitator in a course for new joiners of Capgemini Consulting. During five days, Martin managed to keep the participants highly motivated and engaged, even though there was a lot of work to be done. He was always open for criticism, dialogue and gave sound advice on career development topics. This was probably the best short-term mentoring/coaching in my career so far. The second time we worked together, we were in a team, responsible for the organization of a 450+ participants high-class learning event for Capgemini Consulting. The can-do attitude of Martin, his creativity and his motivational style was one of the main reasons that the event was highly regarded by participants and the leadership team. All in all, I can say that it is a pleasure to work with Martin - not only on a professional level, but on a personal one, too."

"Working with Martin is a pleasure. He is one of the most creative and challenging persons I have ever met. He is not only creative but he also has the deep ambition to create and deliver his ideas in a way that is beneficial for sponsors, participants and stakeholders. I have been working with Martin on event management, design and delivery. Each of these projects and programs follow a process of initiation, design, delivery and optimization. Martin is able to contribute to each of these phases and add a great value. He is a loyal and a great teamplayer. I can recommend working with Martin if you want to get things done, to innovate and to be challenged!"
