The course content felt quite disjointed, with topics jumping between subjects and book references in a way that made it difficult to follow. For example, one unit would focus on EQ and the associated AC, and then the next would introduce a different AC that either closely mimicked or significantly differed from the previous one. This created confusion and disrupted the learning flow. Additionally, the books did not align well with the presentation materials or the structure of the lessons. Their layout and sequencing were often misleading, which resulted in more confusion than the written assignments themselves. To be clear, this is not a reflection on Lynne’s teaching, but rather on the organisation and cohesion of the course materials.Read more

This course has helped me to reevaluate my own leadership style and how I can help my team of managers. Lynne explained everything in a particular way so I could reflect on my own performance.
