Good course to discover your hidden and apparent skills then how to mold these skills into your own branding! Tips on how to create a mission statement are vital, too.

There were not enough practical tasks and I would like more interactivity and less "talking head". But in general, the course provides cool fundamental knowledge.

It lacks only of hard theories and evidence about the topics being discussed by the professor. Still, the course is great and the professor is fun and lovely. :-)

Senti falta de abordar o potencial do LinkedIn para a construção de marca pessoal. Senti falta da matriz de personal branding, para concluir um documento prático.

Interesting and relevant information but not very in-depth. It's a great course if this is a new concept for you but not if you have any background in it.

I enjoyed the entire course!

The sound on a couple of videos were quite low and hard to hear/listen to even when I turn up the sound on my system. .
