I delivered a professional Public Speaking workshop for Mangates in Berlin on 1 October 2025, under a signed NDA that specified payment within one month. This was my 5th workshop delivered for Mangates since March 2024. The training was delivered as agreed and an invoice was submitted accordingly.However, as of today 1st Feb 2026, 4 months after the workshop, I remain unpaid despite multiple follow-ups. The contractual maximum payment period expired in November 2025. I was then asked to wait until December. Then on 5 December, I was personally assured by senior management that the payment would be completed in January 2026 (later the finance team provided a specific payment date of 26 January 2026), and I was asked to refrain from posting any public feedback. I respected this request and acted in good faith. Unfortunately, that commitment was not honored, I have still not received the payment. This situation represents a clear breach of trust. I have been patient for over four months, accepted multiple revised timelines, and refrained from any public action. However, payment was repeatedly delayed with shifting excuses, including references to cash flow constraints and repeated requests to wait another week, none of which resulted in resolution. Trainers and facilitators should be compensated fairly and in a timely manner after fulfilling their commitments. It is very disappointing that Mangates’ payment practices undermine trust and fall far below acceptable professional standards within the industry.Now I am documenting my experience here factually and transparently, so that others considering work with Mangates can make informed choices. Given my experience across multiple engagements since March 2024, I cannot recommend working with this company as a trainer or facilitator unless payment reliability is clearly ensured in advance.
