This is a really great and encouraging course which compelled me to take certain actions that I would rather not. The examples were great and they case scenarios too. Although I just finished the course and have not applied the behaviors of good listening, I quickly was able to identify the areas where I fell short in terms of listening.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Very insightful, clear and well structured. I would highly recommend it.
