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.

Have used these various tools for many years but never knew how to fit them together. This course ties them together and will be very useful.

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

Summarizes heavy content very well in one short hour. Well-designed graphics help keep the big picture in mind.
