Barker as she provides a warm, supportive atmosphere in which learners are encouraged to intensively explore themselves in order to create a personal brand that authentically and effectively communicates their values and professional gifts.

Informative, but felt a little duped. Clearly instructor knew about the change in course structure, she made a video. I'm disappointed there was no advance warning. Take my money, then tell me. Not cool.

Although this is an outdated course, IT WAS HELPFUL, as the knowledge shared here by Kimberly Barker stands on its own. If you know nothing about personal branding this is a perfect way to start.

The course is very good, but quite outdated when it comes to social media. It would be interesting to be revised.

The instructor is excellent and knows how to captivate the student's attention.

Informative for a newbie but very very basic information that can be found in a google search. Having in one central location is good though. Some of the linked articles should be updated.

Many of the topics covered appeared to be known areas except for an extension of few concepts. The assessments were either simple or not too relevant in accordance with study material.

Very informative and packed with information, however the volume is a little soft on the lecture videos which makes it hard to hear at times but other than that highly recommend!

Suggest to add a few more quizzes to test learner's understanding on a certain topic. Provide actual steps on how to promote personal branding thru social media applications.
