Advanced Product Management: Leadership & Communication (Udemy.com)

I recently completed this course on Udemy, and it was an incredibly valuable and transformative experience. Covering essential topics for product managers, it significantly enhanced my skills and even led to my recent promotion to Director, Product Management. The course provided key strategies for effective communication, stakeholder engagement, and conflict resolution, which have proven invaluable in my role. I also gained practical tips for captivating presentations and public speaking. The section on leadership stood out, exploring the qualities of exceptional product leaders and offering strategies for motivating teams and achieving product goals. Additionally, the course provided valuable career guidance, helping me identify areas for improvement and providing resources to enhance my skills. Overall, this course has had a profound impact on my career and personal growth. The instructor's expertise and engaging teaching style, combined with the comprehensive curriculum, make it a gem for product management professionals. I highly recommend this course to anyone aspiring to succeed as a product manager or seeking career advancement. Thank you to the instructor and Udemy for this valuable resource.

I have been exposed to the necessary tools that work places requires. It's so practical to me in the sense that i can recall applying some of them that are nurtured personally as a rules in my first work place after my university degree, and it worked like magic in my team. so, i can attest that these are scientific approaches that have passed the test of time. Thank you Cole!

Some of the generic information is decent enough, but nothing you can't get from Reddit or Medium. Worse, this course contains some really dated, toxic cultural bits in there. Paraphrasing: "If you have time to write a blog, what are you really doing? Shouldn't you be working?" It's almost 2023, my guy. At least replace the section glorifying hustle culture with tips on how to remain relevant and effective in a world of remote work and globally distributed teams.

This is a great course not only for product managers or those who aspire to become one, but for anyone working at a tech company. It provides you with basic insight on how to work with people in general and how to set yourself up for success, so that you can enjoy your work as you continue to work hard at your job. Myself working as a manager, I found this course to be extremely helpful and definitely wish that I would have watched it before as it would have made me aware of the flaws that I have when it comes to communication and people management.

The content didn't seem "advanced". Other than some novel (but unnecessary) "pro tips" this content is fundamental, found everywhere, and not unique. I'd hoped the class would teach me how to drive a race car, instead it seems to be the manual to obtain a drivers license when you turn 16.

Interesting

Great advice and tips. Great real-world examples. PPT building sections was very helpful.

Excellent course! The Leadership and Communication lectures are full of actionable tips as well as broader insights. Great value for PMs in particular, but these are broadly applicable topics that most anyone can value from knowing more about.

Hit all the key points on creating a successful and compelling PowerPoint presentation!

This course opened me up to understand how to manage up and how I expect my manager to manage me.

Not so much.
- A lot of trivial - known material
- The presentation of the material is not engaging enough

Entertaining and informative content. The lecture focusing on how to create effective presentations is a great bonus. Looking forward to see more PM courses in the future! :)
