The course is clear and easy to understand. Those examples are good and make me think of my personal experience in my daily work and life. Hope to learn the efficient approaches to handle the different and difficult conversations
By Michael Arnold on 5/8/2026
Needs to cover tone of voice and how it effects outcomes, provokes reaction and excitement. One should always provide information on what is to be discussed which doesn't happen and typically is done intentionally to avoid counter arguments.

The course is well structured. Roleplay provides helpful feedback and reinforcement of core concepts. The course is broken down into short, digestible pieces.

The timer used in the video role play led to confusion. It was unclear whether my responses were time restricted, as the time ran down to zero, the AI would interrupt my responses. This threw me a little, resulting in some details I would have liked to have added being missed.

The material matched my learning style, and I felt that what I learned could be applied directly to my work. Overall, it was a good fit for me, and it helped me grow both in confidence and in practical knowledge.

Simple and easy to follow. I LOVED THE AI PRACTICE! This helped me experience a real live difficult conversation. It allowed me to use the program knowledge right away which helps me use the material and recall it more easily.
