A great course on removing barriers to change and Professor Jonah Berger has an engaging way of delivering the course content. Unfortunately there are only two courses on here by Professor Berger.

I really liked the course and it gave me some good new input how to approach change. The course says it is rather for beginners, which I would fully support. If you are skilled and experienced already, the introduced concepts / ideas might not be as breathtaking for a pro.

I like this. I work with many in many different countries and job roles. All have their own agenda and goals and one of my responsibilities is to get them to go along with programs or ideas that I will promote. This will help me understand on how to change their minds.

Love this course! I took it because I am very interested in change management. However I really recommend everyone to do this course. If you are tired of the push back you get (personal/ professional) this can really help how you approach and manage the situation.

Useful, practical, interesting, fun... I really liked it and I recommend it I think it is useful for everyone, since at all times, personally or professionally, we are at all times trying to change something / convince people (or trying to avoid it).

Love the course and learned a lot! Highly recommend for anyone trying to "change" people or companies. I will apply what I've learned here right away. I will also buy his book "The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone's Mind". Thank you for this course.

Well constructed course and nicely presented. Very useful information with clear presentation. The speed of speech of the professor is impressive, for non English mother tongue speaker but the support PPT material helps ensure you got it all.

Very interesting and insightful about change management. Most change management courses discuss the process as opposed to the psychology of why change is difficult. This course provides a different perspective on how to approach change.

I really enjoy the course, truly useful and strong course. My only concern was that it was short, I wish the instructor had provided more details and an extended version of the course. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND it to everybody.

This is an exceptional course. It really helps the fundamentals of 'change' and how to approach the problem of changing something. The explanation is very clear. REDUCE framework is super helpful. Thanks a ton.

Excelente curso, super didáctico y fácil de entender. Lo único a recomendar sería que el certificado salga a nombre de uno mismo, no en general como a un usuario cualquiera de Cursera

You can learn a lot by being the change your people are waiting for when your job is to make someone else better. It is a great learning experience, like reading a great book.

Excellent, useful information to begin constructing a way to facilitate change. Explains why change is difficult to institute, and equips leaders to stategize.
