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? The ability to effectively communicate and persuade others is a key leadership skill. Traditional and common-sense models of communication and persuasion often fail to capture the complex nature of ‘influencing’. Via structured learning activities (video lectures, quizzes, discussion prompts and written assessments) this course will develop your capacity to communicate appropriately in different situational and cultural contexts, making you a highly influential leader....

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

It's a course that sum up the most important skills you need to learn for your professional life. Amazing material and subject conducted in a very fun and appealing way. Thanks for both instructors.

Great concepts, but too many to learn at once, maybe breaking the last week in two would help better learning the structuture and also, give more examples of how to apply these skills in different business areas (ie. for who doesn´t work in marketing or sales). It´s impressive how Anabella applies the concepts and skills taught in all her videos/lectures.

This is really helpful for all the professionals who are dealing with people, both the trainers are very clear in delivering the intended and meaning content without any unwanted things. Every second in this course is really interesting and will recommend it to others too without any doubt.

Very good course, great presenters, very personable. Well structured.

My only complaint: the transcripts are often incorrect. I imagine they are made with a software program, but somebody needs to check and correct mistakes. It subtracts from the professional appearance and content.

Overall a very engaging series of lessons and articles. I thought the maybe the first lesson and a half /week and a half were not best set up to engage with the audience but it definitely picked up after that. The presenters /course leaders are very good.

The course is more focused on communication than story telling. I believe it could add more value to tackle the problems currently faced with the new off site business model where smiles and body language are not as influential and important as before

Complex methods well explaines. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an initial induction in communications techniques.

The only reason why I didn't select 5 stars is because I missed more practical exercises

Really useful course but this type of content would benefit from having additional course notes covering the main points so that I could refer to it in future (i.e. when looking to structure presentation slide packs, etc)

The instructors gave a clear explanation completed with an example or two. I personally think that this course will be better if there is any practical assignment to see or give suggestion for the learner's understanding

Great course! I Learned a lot and thank you for all the techniques shared all over the weeks.

I loved the structure of the course, it helps keep a follow-up and keeps you interested in the content.

Great work

I found the Ted Talks and reading articles to be super helpful and will probably refer back to them in the future. This class made me feel more confident about running a meeting or giving a presentation.

Great course on persuasion, but rather little on storytelling. Good content with good examples. But it can be too, much too fast. Its the kind of course that cries out for loads of practical exercises.

Content was great, but some of the test material seemed to be scoring incorrectly and I never heard back from my inquiry. Also, there were a lot of typos. A bit sloppy, but great overall content.

The information provided in the course was very valuable. Unfortunately, the translated text was consistently incorrect. As someone who learns by reading, the inaccuracies were distracting.

Videos were great but the assessment questions had room for improvement - a number of typos and the occasional obvious answers that rendered the question moot.

The course is well-constructed and both the instructors are really good. I would suggest adding more examples and case studies,and lesser theories.

Great course. I would have appreciated if the material was more generic. Some techniques were difficult to apply to the science field.

Speaker was easy to understand. Resources were relevant to the topic. The topic is applicable on both a business and personal level.
