"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."

"This course did a great job of helping me define what a good manager is and then sparking self-reflection on how I stack up to that definition."
"It is one of the best courses I have attended (out of 20+) and the closest online course I have attended to my full-time MBA experience. Great work Berkeley! The quality of the course along with the numerous frameworks shared during the program helped me rethink my work and will be very useful in the long run as I am interacting more with PMs for early innovation projects. It is also one of the first online courses I am taking (out of 20+) where the school faculty is engaged on a weekly basis (usually, we only have interactions with TAs)."
"It surpassed what I was expecting. The level of care and detail in all aspects of the course were really good, and is now helping me in my day-to-day. Even if you're a seasoned negotiator, I promise you'll learn a lot about influencing others and negotiation."
You will be exposed to insightful content and excellent tools that you can apply and use regularly inside your company. You will enhance the knowledge you already got from your working experience, and you will learn how to articulate and manage products, services, and teams from a more holistic point of view.
"The most impressive, life-transforming program I ever attended. The description on the site doesn't even cover 10% of what we get, in knowledge and experience. The program transformed me in more than a few ways, and it made me a better human being, which, I think, it's the biggest compliment I can give it. Maura is just incredible, as well as the rest of the speakers, teachers, leaders that shared their experience and their teachings with us. The connection and experience will continue after the course, with the most amazing cohort I could have imagined."
"It gave me some solid, actionable advice on improving my presentations."
"This course provides the exposure and practice needed to be effective in both external negotiations on behalf of your business and for internal negotiations within your company. Robust well-prepared cases to practice using role play. Develops the practical skills needed."
"The world of work is changing: the future of work is now hybrid, so it is very important to improve your communication skills in person and virtually. This Communication's Excellence training will guide you to communicate your ideas, projects, goals or any topic with your clients, suppliers, managers or even with the people you love in a better way. I started using the things I learned the same week and I know that I will continue to use them because I am seeing how my communication has improved."
"It was a life-changing experience for me and, coming from an engineering background, I now have a much broader knowledge about products and their full lifecycle. The program far exceeded my expectations! And it will only improve, as I'm now part of a large PM networking group that will continue to share experiences and exchange ideas. So, it's not just about the program itself, it's also about the life after the program."
"It’s not just the interactions in the classrooms where you break out into projects or certain assignments, but also the interaction outside of the coaching sessions of the programs. We’ve had networking sessions, we have social media groups that we are a part of, we talk often outside the class as well. We share ideas, we share feedback and day-to-day challenges. It has been a pretty good way to connect to classmates."
"I was a little hesitant since I thought it was going to be fast-paced and not very interactive. I’ve had previous experiences and the in-person experiences always connected people and were interactive. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t be able to experience this with an online platform. But the UC Berkeley online platform is so real that you don’t feel like you’re in a virtual setup. There are online discussions going on while the professor is teaching, the students are asking questions and answering themselves, and that has been a great learning experience. I have taken away much more from the online program than I expected."
"The benefit of this online program is that you get attendees from all over the world. People are attending from Asia and Europe, you do not have the constraint of location anymore. What that does is that it makes the program global. I’m able to interact with people from Asia and how they’re finding a solution for a particular problem and compare it to the USA. The diversity is certainly there - not all the people are from the same background. You get different perspectives, different cultural perspectives, different professional experiences. This has been tremendous and the return on investment has been wonderful."
