So insightful. There are a lot of things that I knew little of in terms of what they actually mean and what they stand for. one example would be of the enlargement of the word LEADERSHIP. It really opened up my view of personal success.

I am just in the beginning, I need more time to know. I have many years of experience, so until know some of the info is a little bit basic, important for someone that is starting their professional life. But I am here, I am sure that there is coming updating data that can make me improve my skills.

It had informative insights in terms of developing a good communication strategy. It also helped me in my role as an internal communications specialist, especially when we ask employees to provide feedback, it is important to give them feedback on what we have improved and what we are going to do in the future based on their feedback.

This set of lectures is useful but way too time consuming. Actual information could be resumed within half or even a third of the total time. Some concepts are repeated in different lessons in a redundant ay. In the end i took note of things that seemed useful and i hope those will came in handy.
