This course was very insightful and informative. The instructor was effective in communicating the various topic within the course. If there is a next level to this course I would definitely take it. The time allotted for the course was also sufficient. I will recommend this course to others.

The instructor was easy to listen to, concise and had very relevant examples. This course can help anyone who needs to "sell" themselves internally or externally and can help people who want to be able to make positive impressions on others.

For me, the course included much more than what the title implied. I'd rather have focused on creating a broad-based, solid 20-second introduction, instead of taking the multiple tangents.
