MANULIFE TESTIMONIALS

March 8, 2017



Jacq Martija, Manulife Financial, Time Management WorkShop
I learned a lot from TalkShop’s Time management workshop, especially on how to manage the time effectively and apply work-life balance. I like the Personality inventory test. The TalkShop consultant is precise and effective at what he is teaching.

Wimbledon Bunagan, Manulife Financial, Time Management WorkShop
I like the activities, especially the 4-quadrant diagram. It’s new to me, and it’s very useful. Everyone must know this. What I like is that the TalkShop Consultants are very approachable and that they just don’t  teach, they inspire.
I am much more inspired to identify my priorities properly and execute them in accordance with the little goals that I set.



Elmer Loreque, Sr. Finance Analyst. , Manulife Financial, Time Management WorkShop
This is a well-done workshop by TalkShop. An excellent Time management workshop.

Hyacinth Sumague, Finance, Manulife Financial, Time Management WorkShop
I rated TalkShop 5. I like the activities.  Excellent!



Roselle Leano, Billing and Collection, Manulife Financial, Time Management WorkShop
I have learned to evaluate myself, my work and my setting of priorities. Also, in my line of work, I have learned how to have a work-life balance. I like the Procrastination Test and work life balance activities.
Both TalkShop Consultants are light talkers, informative, open and good.
Ryan Ducalang, Group Admin Assistant, Manulife Financial, Time Management WorkShop
I learned so much from this training in Time Management. The design is helpful and amazing. I like the Enneagram because I have the chance to know my personality type (Achiever and Epicure). Thank you Manulife! Kudos TalkShop!
