Student Testimonials

  • "Great course! I never really thought anyone would give me a chance to move in to a leadership title. That being said, taking this course has actually helped me understand a lot about leadership skills. I feel I understand now why I would actually fit in a leadership role." -- Maeve J.
  • "I found this course to be very helpful. It gave me a different perspective on what it is to be a leader and the differences between a leader and a manager. I thought I wanted to be a manager but I realize now that I want to be a leader. This course helped me to categorize and prioritize my skills in order to become a better leader. It also gave me so many examples of both good and bad characteristics so that I can recognize the traits that I want to hone in on as well as the traits I would like to leave behind. The essays challenged my thought processes. Thank you for this well put together class." -- Kimberly L.
  • "It has been an amazing course overall, I learnt a lot from it--from Problem solving to difference between leader and supervision and much more." -- Muhammad J.
  • "I believe this course was extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend it." -- Maureen A.
