"The 'Becoming a Better Leader' course is fantastic. I took the course as part of a leadership certificate program. However, as an educator, the course will challenge me to take on a more positive, effective leadership role in school. It has improved my skill set and given me ideas that I can apply in an educational setting, as well as in my personal life."
