Highly recommend this course. The edification section and examples was particularly helpful to me, as I can see how taking those actions will build a confident and connected team. There were a lot of positive affirmations in this course. You could almost use it as a mediation before bed to get your subconscious mind to take on these behaviors more.

Nothing new was really learned but it did reinforce concepts that are taken for granted too often. This was a great training for reminding me about the importance of making team members feel valued and appreciated.

Content was good, though there were several audio issues throughout. Maybe some kind of feedback or interference when the course was recorded. Otherwise, it was smooth sailing.

There was quite a bit of overlap in principles, which seemed quite redundant at times.
