What Participants Say

I really enjoyed the content covered in this course. The instructor did an excellent job of keeping the sessions interactive and informative. I think this is a course anyone who is required to communicate digitally should enroll in. Many of the aspects of this course focused on simple and easy to implement solutions to communicating quickly and concisely.

Isaac J.LiquidPower Specialty Products Inc.

This course truly helped me with understanding how to properly tailor my writing to the intended receiver. While simultaneously understanding the importance of tonality in my writings. Tone is something I haven't paid to as much seeing as it is very hard to get it across digitally but a conscious effort should be placed on my end.

Kaleb S.Sesco Cement Corp.

Course was very engaging thanks to the instructor and the activities she put together. Personally, the course was not quite what I expected but that is not a knock against the instructor or the course itself. I simply expected/hoped for something more advanced. I could see how it would be useful for many people.

I'd never been exposed to the four behavioral styles and think it's the most useful style assessment/orientation I've encountered. I'm hoping everyone in our organization can take the assessment and learn about their to enhance internal communication.

Mojeje O.Jack Kent Cooke Foundation

This workshop made me take a hard look at my behavioral style and helped me identify my habits when communicating with others. I really enjoyed learning directly from my colleagues on how they prefer to interact, and how to be most effective.

Stacey D.Jack Kent Cooke Foundation

Good class overall - great teacher. I liked how it was a discussion-oriented course and allowed us all to self-reflect and learn about a variety of writing styles. This class helped me remember and reflect before and after I write documents.
