WAHAB ENIOLA TAWAKALTI, wahab Eniola Tawakalt truly enjoyed the course and also learned new things and confirmed my knowledge on other things. The course is really a top quality course, the instructors explained well and detailed and am very much encouraged to participate. i learnt so much from this course, such as;
communication and it role in an organization, the role of innovation and creativity in a team, group or an organization, the importance of culture as well as leadership in an organization, the power of intuition,the role of imagination, the power of critical thinking, the differences between the creativity and critical thinking.
so therefore, this course is a very good one and no one will ever regret taking it.
