I went in thinking it might just be a recap of things I already knew, but I was wrong.

I went in thinking it might just be a recap of things I already knew, but I was wrong. The section on AI was quite interesting and cutting edge, and the ongoing case study made the course engaging and practical. It was well designed, clearly aligned with current and emerging trends, and gave me good learnings and a good opportunity to network as well.

It’s already shaping how I lead my team.

It was intense. There was a lot to balance with work and life, and a ton of material. We even printed everything and made a book out of it so I can keep studying. What I like about it is I can go back to it.  I haven’t finished integrating everything yet, but it’s already shaping how I lead my team.

I’m going to be sending three people from my team because I absolutely love the program.

This program literally helps you learn, as an individual, how to communicate with people in multiple countries. It teaches you that the way you do things where you live isn’t always how things are done elsewhere, and that was a great learning opportunity for me. It helped me learn how to deal with different people interpersonally and gave me new skills on how to approach my stakeholders—something I think anyone can benefit from. I’m going to be sending three people from my team because I absolutely love the program.
