It was very rewarding to connect with like-minded folks and discuss my organizational issues, and to listen to their ideas. I have already highly recommended this training to my colleagues."

"The Berkeley ExecEd programs are best-in-class! I have completed three (3) programs to date, in my pursuit of the Certificate of Business Excellence (COBE). With each, I come away impressed by the relevance of the content, the professionalism and expertise of all instructors, and the overall engagement I experience within the class with my peers. Not only do I come away with new learnings I can immediately apply, I come away recharged, and further prepared to do battle with the ever-changing business world we all face!"

It stripped away the complex jargon and taught me a practical, analytical framework for understanding investments.

Now I have the confidence and knowledge to make informed financial decisions alongside my advisor. An invaluable investment in my financial literacy and future."

The payback was fast and happened in two ways: Within a few days of the program start, my tuition investment returned $150,000 in tangible, applicable value. Through project work, I applied what I learned directly to a real business challenge—essentially free consulting—which added further value and increased the return on the original investment.
" This was a truly fantastic program! I was able to get so much out of it, and then some. Thank you to everyone involved for making this happen."
"This is a very hands-on and helpful program. Agenda and audience are clearly defined; people come loaded with questions and scenarios to discuss. The program provided a comprehensive tool kit that helps new managers kick start their leadership journey. Homa answers each question and provide realistic suggestions. I am very afraid of the leadership courses that push for a wishy-washy, "one size fits all" blanket practices, and Homa provided the OPPOSITE experience to that. Would recommend this to any new or soon-to-be managers."
"The course is well-designed and offers a great overview of all the tools a new manager can pull from, the content is relevant, and the class is engaging and comes loaded with real-life questions. This could just be the single best management course I have ever taken."
"Homa was excellent. Her delivery was clear, engaging, and rooted in real-world leadership dynamics. She created a welcoming and intellectually rich environment that encouraged reflection and curiosity. The frameworks she presented were both accessible and impactful, and I walked away with new language and insights that I’ll carry with me. She clearly understands the challenges of leadership and has a gift for translating complexity into actionable tools."
