I liked the tutor's personality a lot. At first I didn't get it, but then I found it humorous, honest, encouraging and very warm. She stressed an importance of creating a community and support each other and the first time in my life it made me think of the importance of the community. I enjoyed reading the forum, which made me think how diverse in age, experience and goals the learners are. I learned several useful techniques, which helped me to better define the audience of my social channel and gave me some thought on what values I would like to promote. All this was helpful. Thank you, Kimberley!
Great course as it gives a complete introduction to personal branding. The assignments fully had me thinking about what my own personal branding really was and how I could realize the achievement of my brand.
