Student Testimonials:
★★★★★
"Some of the items presented do seem common sense/intuitive, but oftentimes in the "real world" we get overwhelmed and encumbered by everything that is going on,
we skip steps and forget to follow a coherent process
. I have recently held a few meetings where I didn't feel as effective as I could have been. This course was
a great step to refocus/reorganize and move forward
." -
Dacia Drury
★★★★★
"I really enjoyed this course! I thought
the material was well-organized and presented in an engaging way
. The content was also very relevant- even though I already lead a lot of my own virtual meetings and have been doing so for a long time, it reinforced and validated some of the ideas I use. I also liked the format of the course,
presented in short bite-sized pieces and with the reiteration of simple concepts
to drive home the principles.
10/10 would take again
