Some material and the course was review from previous management classes whereas others were wonderfully thought-provoking. I wish many companies were forward-thinking enough to take this course.

A very illuminating course. Have started applying two key concepts already. Glad I took the course. Every HR practitioner should take the course as part of their own development. Thank you.

The content of the course was very informative and the quizzes and peer-graded assignments added to the bonus. I was able to learn the Influence tactics and how we can apply it in real life.
