About the Course

An ambitious vision for the future of your organisation isn’t enough – how do you communicate this vision to get your colleagues on board?

I have really enjoyed learning this course, and professors made it so easy for me to understand the concept. As I was proceeding with the course, I applied some of the ideas and guess what? It worked

Overall very good course content and with lots of additional reading materials. The presenters really know their content and are pleasant to listen to, easy to understand and follow.

There was however this one thing I would have loved to see a little more and may be these were just my personal expectations based on where I am coming from and what I was really looking forward to learning. A little more depth into story telling and more examples and exercises or quizzes that upped my knowledge and grasp. While "group dynamics" and "dealing with questions and objections" were all very important aspects of influencing, I was looking for a little more emphasis on the story telling side of it. Anyway - great content, well structured too.

One feedback I would like to leave for the presenters is that at times I found the Acronyms a little forced or "one too many". The one with the many "I"s at the end ... just too long and forced, not very intuitive. But can't deny that it covers a lot of valuable perspectives and thought.

This is my first time on coursera, I just think that the quizzes to pass are a little on the easy size; did not challenge me enough and very often did not cover many aspects of the topics covered.

Thank you Lawrence and Arabella - loved both of you for your own styles and approach and the love both of you have for sharing knowledge.

It was a very good guidance through the whole topic, and you tell me a lot of examples, that can help me in different situations. But there are two points I felt not comfotable with. The first topic is that I can't practise by my own with your or the class feedback. Maybe, this is due to the online format. The second point is that the longer the course takes, the more I felt it was especially for sales people. Sometimes it was really difficult to find the link to myself. I have to present my ideas, my results and my knowledge. This aspect is not treated in the course. Maybe you can adopt the course a lit bit, so it matches perfectly for me too.

Regards + Thank you Frank

The course was very helpful, it helped me alot in job interviews and dealing with people with different background, the course is full of acronyms which is very hard to memorize then all, hope to make it like the diagram in the last week which was very helpful and understood to me, by the way thanks for your efforts and special thanks for Arabella and lawrence.
