This is all LinkedIn pseudo-psychology. These are a lot of generalizations that ignore the actual definitions of words.

Honestly impressed by the quality of teaching delivery. As for the content, it's incredibly useful. If I could, I would take all offered courses by this same instructor because he always provides insightful information!

This was my favorite Udemy course to date. Chris Croft is personable and quietly funny. His examples land well for me and really make me think about opportunities I have for improvement. I'll keep looking for other courses he offers.

It was great, inspirational, nice style of narration, very direct, covered many things and situations and it is affirmative. I enjoyed listening and great thing is AI practice at the end. Big recommendation.

Practical insights with examples that resonated. The approaches where understandable and easy to incorporate into every day interactions without being forced or contrived scripts.

Fantastic masterclass! Clear, practical and full of real-life examples. It teaches you how to be assertive while staying authentic and approachable. I gained tools I can use every day.
By Sidharth Suman on 12/29/2025
Really a great course! Changed my perspective a lot, that I should be creating a win-win situation, and learn to use brain and negotiate rather than yelling, crying, getting disappointed. Really helped a lot!
By Misty Walton on 12/16/2025
Loved this course. It helped me to understand how to approach different situations in life with confidence that I can handle them. I've always been scared of confrontation, but now I don't feel that way. Also, learning how to deal with truly toxic people, and how to spot games players is invaluable especially in the corporate world where it can be difficult to navigate office politics.
