Saskia De Maeyer

In a time spirit of more information and less concentration, it is crucial to get your message across clearly and visually. That's why our team of analysts and project managers attended a workshop called "Visual Storytelling" yesterday. Communicating and presenting visually in a targeted way so that the core of the message sticks. A surprising workshop: directly applicable and very positive reactions from the participants!

In December 2018, I enjoyed a People Management training course (!) that Koen delivered. Not a traditional lecture by the book or with a fixed slide show, rather a journey through the subject in function of the questions, interests and expectations of the participants. Very practical, interactive, humorous, sometimes confrontational but above all useful. One of the few training courses that really takes you with it. Top!

As always, bang on! I won't be happy until I can be in Greece. Now learned that such a thing is vain hope and I better focus on the here and now.

Very good assessment of the typical uniqueness of the 'caregiver'.... With the core quadrants they immediately get a tool in their hands to tackle their pitfalls, allergies, ... ... to tackle! Clever explanation Ute!

"Good is good enough" is really a good recommendation. You don't have to be an educator or caregiver to do that.

Recently followed a fascinating two-day Facilitation Techniques training with Stephan. He has a very clever approach by blending theory and practice. Informal, with humor, but also with the necessary depth and coherence of vision. The exercises - practice what you preach - were eye-opening.

Stephan is a great trainer in Systemic NLP. His ability to be entirely present, open-minded and solution-focused, together with his effective communication skills ensure pleasant training days full of eye-openers and 'can do' challenges.

Jonathan Debilde

Stephan is an excellent trainer and has an eye for not only professional but also personal development of his clients. He enables you to transcend yourself on different levels and provides you with the necessary resources to (continue to) grow. Besides the NLP Practioner and Master class, the training "Deep trance" is highly recommended to master conversational hypnosis techniques and the Milton model. Once you have followed this master class, you will not want anything else.

I followed the Systemic NLP Master Practioner program from Stephan. Besides the fact that NLP is very fascinating and interesting, the program at Ubeon is intense and well constructed. Stephan is also an exceptional teacher with a good charisma and very driven by a practical approach. Highly recommended!
— Philip Vermeulen

Helena De Muynck

Stephan was my 'Chief Trainer' at the Systemic NLP training organized by ubeon. The program was an wonderful experience, that really contributed to personal growth and gave strong additional tools to further enhance my coaching activities. Steff's ability to motivate people to stretch and explore is amazing. He walks the talk and knows how to inspire and challenge people. I can highly recommend him and his organization when you need a business trainer or consultant.
— Helena De Muynck, Konsensus

Katrien De Hert

Stephan was my regular trainer, both during the Systemic NLP Practitioner, and the Systemic NLP Master Practitioner training. He always succeeded in creating a safe environment with respect for everyone's personality, which allowed you to go through your own discovery journey in full confidence. His knowledge of systems thinking and experience as a business coach always gave the extra insights that put you, as a consultant, one step further on your way.

Kathleen Fieremans

In 2014 I attended the in-company training 'Getting Things Done' given by Koen Callaerts. I was pleasantly surprised by the way this training was given. Koen's enthusiasm is contagious. He teaches you how to efficiently deal with your tasks and time and uses many practical examples. You can immediately apply the tips and tricks. Koen takes the time to answer questions and gives you the opportunity to contact him after the training if you have any questions or encounter problems. I had already followed a time management course but 'Getting Things Done' was a real eye-opener and I highly recommend it.
