"I had the pleasure to meet Costin during a training "train the Trainer" and I have to say that he still sticks in my mind as a very talented person. He is very good at keeping people's interest high throughout the course and makes it easy for everybody to play the role during the exercises. He is very calm and focused, showing enthusiasm and real pleasure for what he does. The feeling I still have after the training with Costin is "wow, what a nice and useful training this was, I would like more sessions with Costin!"

We highly appreciated his know-how, his energy and the power of motivation and inspiration he has.

Georgiana Ionita
Commercial Training Manager, Coca-Cola HBC

"The training “finance for non-finance” met my expectations, answered all the questions I had. I liked that the theory was link to real life examples that help to better understand and remember the information. Even not all the participants had the same level of knowledge Costin, as trainer, adapted very well and answered to all questions.
I highly recommend it but I advice that the participants have a minimum finance knowledge so they fully benefit of the training enriched content."

Irina Poiana
Head of Products, Domain Owner Checkouts Solutions at Metro.digital Romania

"Fake smile&sweet choice of words can make you remember somebody for a short term.

Yet you remember much longer and much deeper those that have positively influenced you somehow. People from which you were able to learn something. And exactly this type of person is Costin. You remember his messages, his lectures because they represent pure knowledge and experience. More over - passion for what he does.
I was lucky that my company selected a training program that Costin held and honored to be in presence of such a gentlemen and the international professional I aspire to be." 

Mladen Stojanovic

During the entire project, Costin managed to create a relaxed and warmly atmosphere, while keeping everybody focused on the subject presented. He is always fresh and authentic, open to answer all questions, carefully addressing each need of his audience. His previous experience in the business environment has been a cascade of relevant examples, offering most of the times top-notch advice. Easy to communicate, open and flexible, Costin is one of the Trainers you would like to work with."

"Costin is a wonderfully engaging presenter, very easy to listen to and the course was just the right mix of theory and practical demonstration. He has great presentation style with lots of opportunities to ask questions and talk about real life examples. All made for a really enjoyable and informative course that gave me the opportunity to improve aspects that may seem like common sense but are often overlooked."
