“Before I took this class, I hoped that I would be recognized for the work I was doing.

 

After the class, I made a proposal to the new hiring manager to get the job, the title and the pay raise! The class shifted my view on how I was going to approach the situation at work. I got insights that I wouldn’t have been able to come up with on my own. I was able to be calm in the moment, feel confident, able to be curious and listen…these were all things that helped me go into multiple situations and meetings where I was negotiating or trying to figure out the lay of the land. I felt confident after learning the skills. !”

“Before I took this class, I would give in too easily and rely on my colleagues to negotiate with stakeholders to get what we need. Now I am seen as someone who can stand up for the team, help drive them forward, get on the same page, get through difficulties, and help the team succeed.

 

Before I would have quietly resented the direction of projects that I didn’t agree with. Now I can set up a meeting with someone several layers higher than me to get them to approach a project a different way. I can sketch out my suggestions and next steps. I am able to be clear and confident.”
