"Before going to Berkeley, I wanted to better know my kind of leadership and how to enhance it. I also expected to meet great people, both among the faculty and the other students, who could help me in this. Both goals were attained thanks to the course; we have even set up the tools to keep in touch among the students. Another goal I had was to learn new concepts and tools that I could apply to my daily professional life. I learned very useful things based on recent research results, in particular about hiring processes and how to make teamwork more effective... the course has given me the push to really pursue my objectives day after day."
"Maura did a great job bringing in a good mix of Academic experts as well as Industry professionals for all the topics. The course content was top notch."
"The program met my (highest) expectations...The Berkeley Haas faculty and guest Speakers were of a high standard and the program had an appropriate balance between the 'practical' skills and 'theoretical' knowledge."
"This program is a thought-and action-provoking program focused on multiple facets of leadership and organizational best practices, grounded in contemporary research, and delivered through interactive exercises, simulations, case-studies, peer-to-peer consultation, as well as lectures. Top-notch faculty and industry leaders led the way...The environment was conducive to honest self-reflection and inspiration, and the structure of the program emphasized practical planning to implement best practices."
"The program exceeded my expectations. The balance of theory, real-world best practices, and time to develop practical personal leadership strategies for implementation was perfect."
"It's a must. Not only do you learn from faculty, but you get to learn from participants that are in senior positions and you can also see from them how they see leadership in their industries. It was learning both from participants, guest speakers and faculty members."
"The highlight for me were the breathing exercises and getting me comfortable one, in my body, and two, being in front of large groups of people. If you are an individual who has struggled with speaking in front of large groups of people, small groups of people, struggle with somewhat of the nervousness and anxiety and want a program that just will help you move through some of those things, this is the actual program that'll do that for you. It'll give you techniques to continue to take them outside of the classroom and equip you for the rest of your professional and personal career."
