“I attended the N&I training and it definitely improved my skills of negotiations and influencing. Especially the part of influencing showed me how important it is to prepare and ‘draw the corners’. Setting scenes, atmosphere and structure is a part of preparations that has been neglected in the past, but now gets much more focus in my daily work. And makes a huge impact. In addition – the NAFOF approach definitely is something that needs to be part of our daily working routine. The training has boosted my skills as well as my abilities to recognise strategies of the opponent party as well.”

“I have been participating in and delivering corporate training for over 30 years. Radek’s sessions have been some of the best I have seen. He ensures that every type of learner receives what they need, keeps the course engaging and relevant, and makes learning fun. Radek’s courses are designed and delivered effectively.”

— Kendall Clark 🇺🇸 • Sales Manager National Accounts at Huhtamaki North America

“I was fortunate to work with Radek on a few projects and attended his trainings. These were great learning experiences as he was an effective negotiator and dedicated trainer. Radek was also willing to share his knowledge and discuss negotiations strategies with juniors without dismissing our ideas upfront. He once encouraged to eliminate the word ‘TRY’ from our dictionary, so as to avoid the situation of just speaking and not getting down to doing things. Such words of advice have stuck to me till today and speak much of him as a person and his attitude towards work and life.”

— Yingxiu Ang 🇸🇬 • Commercial Manager (Strategic Vendor Management) at Sonepar

“It was 3 amazing days with person, who I’ve always wanted to meet in person with. Even if some points were familiar for me, it was interesting and inspiring to hear them from Procurement Guru like Radek Bak. I was watching Radek trying to understand how he could achieve his level in procurement. Of course, his style of manner, his confident speech and jokes during session were highly appreciated. I like how he followed his agenda of training, how he could mix theory and practice, how he could be strict and soft depending on topics and of course how he arranged pre-training preparation.”

— Aizada Korganbayeva 🇰🇿 • Procurement and Logistics Manager at Bericap

“I liked Radek’s manner of giving information and explain it in the easiest way with life examples. It was useful to get it and then to practice it as business-instrument in real life or in our daily work routine. Radek’s sense of humor helped us to get the whole program in a comfortable way.”

— Nargiza Saliyeva 🇺🇿 • Procurement and Logistics Specialist, Bericap Uzbekistan

“Radek’s N&I training equipped me with a practical framework to approach negotiations with greater intention and adaptability. I especially valued learning how to identify hidden needs and manage desired outcomes strategically through each phase of the process. It’s a model I can directly apply to both customer and cross-functional conversations.”

— Tracy 🇺🇸 • Senior National Account Manager

“I attended Radek’s session on negotiation psychology during the Sourcing Leaders Forum in Amsterdam. It was one of the few talks that stayed with me long after the event — insightful, energetic, and truly inspiring.”

— Elisa van der Meer 🇳🇱 • Category Manager, BrightSource BV

“Radek has an exceptional ability to connect leadership behavior with sourcing strategy. His coaching sessions helped our management team strengthen both strategic clarity and interpersonal effectiveness.”

— Dr. Mark Jensen 🇩🇰 • VP Operations, NovaTech Packaging Group

“During the International Negotiation Challenge, Radek served as a mentor and juror. His feedback was both direct and encouraging — it changed how I approach preparation and decision-making under pressure.”
