I am a dancer pursuing my bachelors degree. I'm deeply grateful to you, your videos, your exercises and your
wonderful efforts! I loved the 3 little word exercise. I thank you and Coursera from the bottom of my heart.

I recommend this course. It helped me come out of my shell.
I was able to put more of my songs out there, beyond my friends and family, and that has given me
the confidence to keep pushing things further.

My brother and I are building a start-up, and I’m learning/studying a lot. I’m taking 4 MOOCs and doing a lot of reading and
research. This personal branding course is the one I enjoy the most of all!

I took your course because I consult in human resources and entrepreneurship. This course has enlighten me in so many
respects, such as how to maintain my online presence and what must I be
aware of. I now have a Twitter account which is opening many network doors
for me and taking my services to potential clients. I also loved the
emphasis on authenticity about oneself online persona.
Truly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Everybody sees me as an engineer, but that’s not who
I would like to be. I am a Teacher, Mentor and Coach. I love to teach people how
to achieve their dreams.
