Very well structured and really practical materials to follow so you get to apply what you learned from the course immediately!
This course was the missing link between my growth as an engineer and being promoted. I wish I had taken this course earlier in my career to have implemented the mindset and practices taught in this course. I believe I would have had more success if I had.
This course is great because it doesn't focus on teaching you the answers but rather the right questions to ask yourself so that you can navigate your career – mindsets not prescriptions. Jordan is a relatable, enthusiastic, and kind teacher.
Really well structured course, with a lot of discussions, and great office hours. Learnt a lot.
