"What an amazing course! After finishing this course, I have confidence. Thank so much Dr Peter Alkema" ... "This is exactly the jump-start I needed. Very clear and concise"
I lead Digital Transformation & Architecture at ABB and I've been featured on CNBC Africa and won the Gartner CIO Of The Year in 2016. I founded and led the largest banking hackathon in South Africa which was published in 2019 as a case study by Harvard Business School.
I've taught over 100,000 students about technology, business, academics and self-development. In 2020 I completed my PhD at Wits University In Johannesburg. The study introduced a ground-breaking theory of Agile software development teams. My woodworking book was published in 2014 and has sold over 10,000 copies.
Olugbenga Gbadegesin: "Excellent delivery" / Lebogang Tswelapele: "This is what I have been longing for" / Paskalia Ndapandula: "Peter speaks with so much clarity" / Amantle Mangwedi: "It was straight to the point and the sections are cut into nice short segments which made it easier to go through" Kathy Bermudez: "Excellent material. Well organized..."
Werner van Wyk: "Thank you Peter, once again your lesson and course have given me so much knowledge and understanding" / Yvonne Rudolph "I really look forward to take everything i learned in action" / Josephine Mahlangu: "exactly what I needed to know, absolutely valuable and helpful for my personal growth"

By Sello Patrick Mopai on 4/20/2026
Yes, very good as it reminds me of managing my team in a fair & effective way by not micromanaging as the manager but to involve all teams' members and it becomes easier to manage a team that understands the direction of their department because the goals are shared for their input.
By ATTY. CHRISTINE HEIDE A. ROSALES on 11/3/2025
It was all worth it. Though the lecture slides were extensive, each one offered meaningful insights that cannot be discounted. I particularly appreciated the segment on real-life leaders and the interview with Pie-Pacifique. These the leadership training not just theoretical, but authentic and relatable. The lessons shared are valuable not only for one’s professional growth but also for everyday life.
By Lee Isaacson on 4/18/2025
There were lots of duplicate lessons. The course started off well. The completion points in the course are all over the place. I would not do another course given by Peter as he should not have taken courses by other people and included it in his course and should have had another course for management and AI.
By Helena Penda on 3/12/2025
Excited to learn and grow more and to understand my subordinates much better on an individual level. I learned so much from this course. I can surely lead my team with so so so much confidence now having gained so many tools. Thank you
By Juliet Ramos on 2/18/2025
The course provided valuable, relevant, and well-structured information that helped you learn and grow in your field of interest. It was engaging, with interactive elements like quizzes, discussions, or that kept you involved and motivated. There was sufficient support available, whether through a community, mentor, or easy access to additional resources, helping you throughout your learning journey.
By Kamran Bakhshandeh on 1/21/2025
The content is excellent and highly relevant for both new and experienced leaders. However, there is some redundancy across the lessons in most of the sections. Many concepts are repeated multiple times in the lesson under the section. I suggest for some of the section the material could be consolidated into fewer lessons—perhaps two or three instead of six—while the core content is maintained.
By Subash Ramnath on 11/3/2024
You get a lot of good content and examples. The amount of lecturers can be overwhelming if you plan on doing this within a small space of time. It's imperative to plan your learning out. Very good discussions around core topics with the bonus of multiple speakers/contributors. Real experience/exposure and examples go a long way when it comes to learning, and you will get that here.
By Michele Maso on 12/29/2021
I contenuti sono validi ma si scende poco nel dettaglio. Le lezioni delle attività in pratica ripetono quello che è stato detto nelle lezioni di teoria, solo dicendo di provare ad applicare i concetti. Alla fine di 1.5 ore del corso, di contenuto reale ci sarà circa 0.5 ore. Lo considero un buon corso per farsi un'idea ad alto livello della leadership
By Leo Rocco Breedt on 7/30/2021
Peter goes through his concepts very thoroughly. He also explains them from having a lot of experience in leadership. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is starting out their career to those already in leadership roles.

This is an excellent course, clearly delivered with practical insights as to how to be a leader. I love the idea that I must first learn to lead myself. I will start working on that, and then be better able to lead the committees I chair to actually get results. Thank you Peter for so generously sharing your own experiences and learnings.
