"The Cahoot Learning experience exceeded my expectations. My favorite part was definitely the exercise on problem statements. I realized the importance of defining a good problem statement for finding solutions to the problem. I have already started implementing the tools learned in the course in my day to day work activities. While discussing a new project recently at work, I followed the process from the course of defining the problem statement. The overall approach to the project changed significantly using this method. The software developed by Cahoot Learning is excellent and the facilitators did an excellent job ensuring smooth running of the course. The knowledge I gained in the course is being used to develop innovative products and process in my organization. I am also using the knowledge in obtaining approvals for my projects from different stakeholders. In fact I am using the knowledge I gained from the course in every aspect of my work starting from defining a project/problem, approaches to solve the problem, obtaining support for the project based on vision speech etc. This new knowledge is having a significant impact on the projects I handle and my organization is already seeing positive impact based on the knowledge I have gained in the course."

"I rate the experience as excellent at so many levels. I'm actually very glad that the focus was not on technology, but rather on leadership and the soft skills that are so critical to succeeding as a leader. I loved hearing other people's perspectives within the class - there's so much to learn from how others react to similar situations. The videos were really good, the right length, and engaging. I think the modules flowed nicely from one to the next. The content was relevant and applicable to anyone in a leadership position, or striving towards that. I was really impressed that the facilitators commented on every single comment that we (or I can at least speak for myself...for me this was true) posted, and on the documents and videos. That kind of personalized attention is rare to find in a classroom, and I certainly didn't expect it for an online course - I was so pleasantly surprised and humbled to receive this level of individualized feedback. This course has directly impacted how I lead my team and related projects. I was moved by all the things I experienced and I am sharing these "stories" with my team. I think this will have a very positive impact on the team and will motivate them to continue their good work and feel good about what they do and feel valued."

"I loved the whole enchilada! It was great! I haven't worked this hard [in a course] since graduate school! I have so much more confidence in my job and the potential I can bring. I'm hoping this opens some new doors for me. I particularly liked modelling the lifecycle. I've never done that before. Using NAMs+; gonna have to keep a subscription going!! I've written plans but honestly, it was all filler. Now I feel I have some substance in my plans. I think you all did a fantastic job. I've taken an online class at a local community college and I think comparatively, I learned more from you guys than I did from that class. (Two separate topics, the link is the online class format.) I had kind of poo-pooed online learning because I went to traditional graduate school and found it to be so much more robust than the other online course I took. This was much better and I learned a lot more that I can apply to my job. 10 out of 10."

"I gained a lot of knowledge from this class and really enjoyed the setup. My favorite portion was the fact that there were examples of other companies and how they were successfully implementing the topics discussed. I found it very beneficial to have examples to go back to and utilize when reevaluating how my implementation of the knowledge compares. I am implementing the course concepts by trying to make the work environment much more open and free to express ideas like the module 1 example of IDEO. It has given my department a breath of life that I feel it needs and bringing back a feeling of purpose is something that is desperately needed."

"I feel like I benefited substantially from the course. It brought focus to some things that are quite important and valuable, like putting together a speech, for example. And the introspective aspect of the 30 stories was a really interesting experience. Overall rating 10/10."

"The team at Cahoot Learning have an exceptionally well designed and executed online learning platform where the experience far exceeds the expectations of even a face to face learning experience. The team has actually created a learning community not just a platform. I learnt how to clearly articulate and maximise my impact. I now attend meetings with more confidence, address my team with more clarity and intent and am able to communicate my purpose to gain impact."

"I have really enjoyed this course. The format and platform used was a great way of remaining interactive while learning in an online environment. The content has also been great, with the right presentation of technical concepts, terminology and theory presented personably and informative. The videos were structured in chunks of learning which served as great building blocks to increase overall knowledge without overwhelming the participant."

"I have recently used the Cahoot Learning learning platform, which has transferred into a good investment in the development of my working life. The easy-to-navigate platform provided me with practical knowledge and a great way to connect with peers. Modules were very entertaining and included many case studies that suit multiple topics. For me, it has been a very positive experience, and I look forward to using Cahoot Learning down the track."

"The team at Cahoot Learning have been fantastic, strategic collaborators to work and explore with. The Cahoot Learning model of relationship-based digital learning is a powerful differentiator for us and our learner community. We are very excited to launch our most recent collaboration with Cahoot Learning, a new MicroCourse model that will enable MIT content and our pedagogy of learning in action to be delivered in a way that brings together a global community of brilliant minds from around the technology world."

"I have completed three courses from Cahoot Learning and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Because the course material is meaningful, I still refer to all the concepts from the courses. The moderators and facilitators are all highly engaging, approachable, and friendly. Cahoot Learning is by far the best online course experience I have had – the platform allows you to connect with the other course mates easily and feels as engaging as in-person training! I hope I get to participate in more courses in the future!"
