TESTIMONIALS:

"This course is like no other online course that I have completed. The engagement and interaction make you feel part of the community. Industry leading speakers and mentors guide you through the most up to date topics of remote working which won't be found elsewhere. 

Leading remote teams was great course because it not only focused on remote working, but also on communication, lean and agile management, motivation, collaborative tools and techniques. I was impressed by the depth and breadth of this course and took way loads of new ideas, concepts and tools to become a more effective manager, who is not afraid to be vulnerable, who takes risks and leads rather than manages."
