Good content, some obvious, but still good.The first set of slide is not that relevant, so my first impression was not so good. The course got better as it progress, presenting cultural differences an strategies/technics to help team members to remove cultural obstacles. I would recommend this course to other colleagues.

I found this training to be applicable whether your team is internationally or nationally disbursed. One major takeaway I had was to include Expected Outcomes in meeting agendas. This provides everyone, especially introverts, a chance to think about and prepare for the meeting ahead of time.

Great course. The insights are actionable and relevant. I can already see that I will use everything included in the training. Would love to have a part 2 for the one on one meetings, too.

I enjoyed the section that discussed how to ask questions to staff to give them an opportunity to give more details other than yes or no.

While the most of the content is more relevant to a pre-Covid setting, there are still some takeaways that can be used today.
