Yes, it was brilliant and insight course. It has helped me build tips and knowledge on how to set goal for myself, team, my organisation and more importantly aligning it with that of my partners.
I know have understanding on how to have a productive communication with my partners. As well having empathy which help me through sharing their pain points as well finding lasting solutions.
I have learned that building communications through check- ins, follow-ups can as wells as getting feedbacks will aid loyalty and trust.
