This course was good. The info and exercises were clear and actionable. The teacher was personable and credible. However, the transition music is absolutely horrible and detracted (in my opinion) greatly from the content. The "music" really cheapened and aged the content (think 90s instructional video).

It's super well structured. The prompts are well written and clearly formulated to act on. I think I might be able to use these prompts for workshops myself. :)

Janice shares excellent framework to quickly turn ideas into working products, by providing all necessary tools. Really liked how organised and structured the approach is. My only suggestion to improve would be to remove repeating sounds in end and beginning of videos, and maybe provide couple of real life examples when approach resulted in real businesses.
