TOP REVIEWS FROM MINDSHIFT: BREAK THROUGH OBSTACLES TO LEARNING AND DISCOVER YOUR HIDDEN POTENTIAL
Great course! This is a lot more general than Learning about Learning but is also useful nonetheless. I like the focus on keeping positive and being confident in your potential despite our weaknesses.
Its a life changing course! I am so grateful for being able to join this course. I may repeat the course, just to keep the momentum going! Thank you Barb and Terry and team for this wonderful MOOC.
I enjoyed this MOOC. It is very well-done and clearly covers the topics of mindshifting along with career advancement. Also--good illustrations and visuals/sounds which assist in the learning process.
It was really interesting to take course in Mindshift. I learned many things about memory, got many tips om how to focus my attention and that every failure is not a real failure but opportunity.
