Mr. Cook is the most effective presenter I have experienced. Here he has curated the best of strategy's various thought leaders and woven them into a practical "how-to" guide in a logical and readily understandable manner. His presentation style is highly energetic and effective and his passion for the subject matter is infectious. Finally, the deck provided includes the script of his voice-over, which is in my view a best practice. I highly recommend this course and others by Blair Cook.

Good presentation. It would be helpful if we could have feedback about which question on the exam we got wrong.
