A very useful course, presented in a very simple and structured way, using an easy English language with a lot of subtitles.

You shall like and get a huge benefit from the materials and the course.

Really useful course! I learnt many new ways to influence others and protect myself from other people's influence.

P.S The cover is a deal-breaker. I joined this course after watching the intro.

Very Good course for people managers. It may also help technical people and sales people who do a lot of negotiations on a day to day basis.

I liked it a lot in style and substance. The framework of 6 elements + 1 big one (cognition) might need a bit of thought.
