The training I received was interesting and high quality. The trainer encouraged interaction between the participants, and one felt one was fully involved-not merely listening to a presentation. I certainly learnt a great deal. I can unreservedly recommend Darren's training for a complete insight into Asian Business Culture.

The Chinese Negotiation Workshop conducted by Darren Chong allowed me to consolidate my knowledge in this scope. Undoubtedly, the negotiation moot was the highlight of this workshop, which Darren pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of negotiation solutions proposed by the participants. For Darren’s passion and his commitment, the workshop was conducted in a very dynamic and interesting manner. I recommend Darren’s workshops to inexperienced and experienced market players.

I have benefited a lot after attending Darren’s training before I relocated to China with my family. He explained a lot of important details, which helped us to adjust in such a different Chinese culture compared to the European environment. Darren's attitude, experiences and training are worth a lot more.

This training was a very interesting experience as it was conducted by Asian trainer. Darren is experienced and understands Asian and European business culture very well. This Training is perfect for those who want to build long term “guanxi” with the Chinese business counterpart. Darren trained almost 90 buyers in LPP.

I am very satisfied and enjoyed your way of clarifying our doubts and questions in a very simple way. I am more prepared to deal with Asian after attending your training in Lithuania. I believe that cross cultural understanding and awareness provide effective communication to build a long lasting business and personal relationship. Thank you very much.

The training courses were carried out very professionally and at a high level. The trainer was approachable, and open to all the suggestions by the group participants. He shows a wide scope of competencies and knowledge about the Chinese market and the rules governing it also. His training courses meet all requirements and show the reality of Chinese negotiations.

The organizer is so creative to have an Asian trainer in our camp. The lessons and games were fun, innovative, interesting and informative. I realize everyone is unique on his own way with different culture and background. I am so eager to make friends with Asian soon. I hope to see Darren again next summer.

I attended Darren chong's training in Latvia, which was a comprehensive training on how to build business relationship with the Chinese. This includes business meeting procedure and protocol e.g. handshake,business card exhange or even the etiquette of business seating arrangements. In short, the good business relation with the Chinese can be built by maintaining good "Guanxi" or personal relationship with the Chinese.
Irena Tusinska, Journalist, Newspaper “Vaduguns”, Latvia
In comparison to the trainings I attended lately in Latvia, I must say that I enjoyed this training a lot, I did learn a lot because the trainer from ConnectAsia was speaking from his experience, not from the books. As an experienced importer, I am more confident to deal with Asian after this training.
Andrej Mierins, Project Coordinator, Balvi Regional Municipality, Latvia
The trainer has rich and vast experience in multicultural communication. The trainer answered all our questions connected with Asian culture, communication style, and Asian way of thinking and day-to-day life situation in an extremely professional manner.
Piengjai Wisniewska, Member of Supervisory Board, Top Secret, Troll & Textilmarket, Poland
The training conducted by Mr.Darren Chong was something I couldn’t even expect. The great knowledge of Chinese mentality and familiarity with European culture are something really convincing. The interactive form of the training gave me the glimpse of what I can expect in China. Various case studies allowed me to get accustomed to the basic rules, which one should understand while working with the Chinese. Thanks to this training that I have increased my own level of self-confidence, which shall help me to avoid misunderstanding while dealing with my Chinese counterparts to achieve a successful cooperation.
