"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.

There are two tests which i took a total of 1.5 hrs to complete but the time is not counted towards the course hours. The questions are largely similar to each quiz in the chapters. Not sure the purpose of repeating.

Self-awareness is the ability to understand one's own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours how they impact others. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others. WOW! This is good refresher course for me
