"This is an intense and inspiring week and a well-structured program that covers the long journey from idea generation to market success, embedding the many facets of innovation and entrepreneurship into a bigger picture. It provides insights into both worlds: the small startup and the large organization. A world-class faculty, supported from excellent guest speakers from the Silicon Valley scene and beyond. This course will definitely support and improve my future work."
"This program is an opportunity to share and learn from experience of senior managers from all around the globe. The program combines experienced tutors and practitioners from the Silicon Valley providing a unique mix that boosts your creativity and thinking about the implementation of the knowledge you have just learned."
"I had a wonderful, enriching experience at the Boot Camp for Experienced Managers. The training was a nice blend of theory and practical examples. 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."
"Take this program! The engagement with fellow cohorts and timely topics is something I am most grateful for. You will gain tremendous insight and most importantly you will gain a group of individuals that you can trust and engage with."
"This course gave me a really solid foundation on how to think about negotiations, which is a vastly broader and more applicable topic than I had realized. We are surrounded by negotiations of various kinds, and this course gives your a great framework and deep toolbox for navigating those. Some of the best professional training I’ve ever done."
"The Product Management program is a transformative experience, and I'd recommend it to anyone involved in building products, regardless of their specific role or capacity. It empowers you to drive strategic vision, innovation, and customer-centered growth. The program combines cutting-edge frameworks with hands-on exercises and a world-class learning community. I left the program equipped to excel, with a deeper understanding of customer needs, the ability to design transformative customer experiences, and the skills to optimize management capabilities and profitability. The program's focus on AI tools and practical applications is a game-changer. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to elevate their product management skills and become a more inspiring and effective product leader, whether you're a seasoned PM, a designer, an engineer, or anyone contributing to the product creation process."
"The course reminded me (that) continuing learning is essential to widening our knowledge."
"I walked into this experience expecting a three-day leadership workshop. What I walked away with was a powerful and inspirational leadership experience. I was inspired by the stories and experiences of the fellow students, the application to real world challenges and the wisdom and feedback from the faculty. I simply have not experienced this degree of “the human element” applied to leadership communication and coaching."
"I highly recommend the HIL program at UC Berkeley since it exceeded my expectations on all the frameworks that I could do to enhance my leadership skills not only with my team, but also at a personal level. It’s a mind-blowing training with practical focus and focus on what really matters: people."
"Do it! Well worth the time and energy to commit to your personal growth, leadership and others."
" I have learned in these 3 days what no one formally told me before thrusting me into a management position. I am an engineer, and to go from there to be a leader of a team is a difficult transition. This program gave me answers to questions that I did not know to ask, gave me tools that did not know I would need, and polish my credentials as a manager. I had come in with a goal to be a better manager, I leave with hope that I can be more - a leader (and also a better person). I sincerely thank everyone in this course - faculty, staff, the institute, and my fellow students who shared this journey with me."
"The program exceeded all expectations by the high level of interaction,integrity and exercises that caused synthesis and application! I cannot wait to stay in touch with several of the colleagues I met!"
"The teaching skills of the coaches were very impressive. They were able to make us learn without the effort of memorizing. It was done through modelizing the concepts and making us practice multiple times and at different (unexpected!) moments. The theory component was also very clever and useful. Throughout the whole experience, ever single professor and colleague made me feel important, supported and heard through my journey."
"As a Haas MBA graduate, I found this class to be a perfect dose of learning and reflection to reignite my spirit of student always and provide me a stronger foundation for me future as an executive."
"You will get actionable and personal insights to make you a better leader, team member, in many different situations. Very translatable and practical!"
