TESTIMONIALS FROM PROFESSIONALS:
"That was the most interesting course I have taken in years! Thank you Russell Cullingworth. I am motivated to change my summer reading list to your top book recommendations and will be signing up for your quarterly e-magazine."

"Really enjoyed the content, presentation, and value particularly that of the second module. Definitely felt much of the content was very applicable to my own self development and work environment. I particularly appreciated the time spent to describe how to become more influential and not just what is influence without any pragmatic strategies on how to achieve this. Great work, Russell, and thank you!"

"Course added value to my growth and development and served as a message to really understand others before trying to influence them"

"Excellent course - presented very effectively. The experiences and examples used were interesting and relatable - in particular Russell's personal story. There is a lot covered in the course, some elements of which I was previously familiar with - but it was put together in a way that really engaged me to want to learn more and develop in the area of emotional intelligence. thank you!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the course. I've taken a course on influencing at my workplace which focused on reciprocity of information, assistance, etc. I'm surprised that your course is teaching people that real influence comes from being a good person, caring about others and earning their trust. Very good!"

"Great course! I wish I would have been more in tune with this learning material earlier in my career. It would have helped me to be more confident in my management style, which has leaned towards one of influence in a positive manner with more confidence that it was the right thing to do."
