HCI SWP course I recently attended the two day on-line HCI course on Strategic Workforce Planning. I found it very valuable. The instructor Karen was very knowledgeable and the course ran at a perfect pace. There were breaks on the hour which was wonderful. The content itself was very applicable to my role and was easy to follow. I also really enjoyed the other participants in class. It was the right level of instruction and group discussion and activities. I was able to pass the exam in one try!

2 Good presentations Two out of the five presenters held my attention. I really thought that Shelly and Justin's material and presentation was the most thought provoking. 2nd would be Elora's presentation. The others felt like they were just reading their slides.

Great speaker; bad tech issues Great speaker, but very bad technical issues. The speaker's laptop had some weird intermittent technical issues throughout the two day course. Sometimes we heard him plainly, while other times his voice cut out or sounded garbled like he was talking underwater. THe speaker is very knowledgeable and provided good insights and examples. It was just a shame to have tech delays and interruptions. For a pricey course, I expected top notch from HCI. I contacted my HCI account liaison, and he was helpful during the process.

Engaging content and facilitation Had an amazing training with Karen this week on succession training. She is exteremely knowledgable and built in some levity and humor that helped to break up the content. She was also very mindful of breaks needed to reflect and reatin the information. She provided a ton of exmaples which allowed the content really come to life. She went the extra mile to use words and phrases that are a major part of pur company which not only made us feel understood but also cared for. I highly recommend Karen for succession training. After leaving this session I feel that I have a very solid understanding of how to apply the content in a meaningful way.

Outstanding facilitator! Meghan was an outstanding facilitator for the Strategic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion certification class. She kept us all engaged in a three-day, virtual course--a hard thing to do. I learned a lot and felt like the course has given me a lot of takeaway and use with my employer.
