I'd like to thank you for taking the time to create this beautifully-structured course. However, I would have preferred real-life scenarios (acting) where you and another or maybe 2 other people or more acting it out, the different persuasive techniques mentioned in this course, a quick 30 sec vids of such scenarios could help I believe, to differentiate between a weak persuasive tactic and a strong one.

The course give strong insights about whats going by on on both sides of the table while talking officially in offices, what we think and at the same time what other person think. This Course changed my views about my self even. From now practice is the main ingredient in my professional life.

By Kenneth Addo on 7/18/2023

I am really enjoying the lessons and the very resourceful information so far. I have been able to start communicating effectively more than I used to know myself before and I am glad of my progress. I am in the learning process and I know it will take time to be a professional but I'm creep-climbing gradually.

This course was informative although I knew all the pointer .

By Saarthak Saxena on 6/10/2020

Practice tips were great...Resources were also amazing...But pretty short with few techniques

By Isabel Abdallah on 9/23/2019

I think examples of live pitch videos posted from students taking this course would be super engaging for the audience to want to actually share there own pitch videos. Everyone has a different type of learning style so incorporating visual examples, clipping Shark Tank episodes and overall more engagement with the students would give this course a step up! Thank you for the knowledge I've learned so much already about persuasion not only for business matters but for personal development. Thank You Tj.

I learnt some interesting aspects in this course as well as some I was aware of but previously overlooked. Thank you TJ.

By Gauri Hopkins on 9/16/2018

Sometimes you just need to be reminded of things you know, but got lost somewhere in the ether of your mind. Have these things broken down into chewable pieces, so that you can see how they apply to your current position. Then reevaluate your current position and apply your refined skills to move forward. That's what the start of this course taught me.

By Pravesh Godiyal on 3/20/2018

Never to be discouraged by becoming emotional that you were not able to persuade someone. Just keep trying. Sometime you win and other time you won't. By practicing and improving, you will become better. Better at controlling yourself, better at understanding what others might be trying to tell you and hence also becoming a good listener. Simple and focused course, well directed videos. Not too long and not too short.

By M. Nassa on 2/27/2018

Helpful introduction to persuasion in biz comms. It's quite short (which I appreciated). Thank you!
