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.

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.

Unorganized I took the Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) Certification and it was very unorganized with lots of technology issues. The instruction was an hour late the first day and tried to keep us late the second day. Plus have the time she was unable to share her screen due to technology issues. I wish the instructor had a second person helping as I think it would've been a better experience. I can't remember much of what I learned because it was disjointed and interrupted by tech issues. It was not worth the money due to these issues.

It was very helpful to go through the… It was very helpful to go through the process step by step. The instructor captured all of the things we wanted to learn and made sure we discussed every item. It helped to have break out sessions to discuss real issues and processes from our current positions to determine how we could apply what we were learning.

Mark Hacker was a great host Mark Hacker was a great host, presenter, trainer. I could understand best when he gave real-life situations. I do recommend the material give more examples with full scenario outcomes (more examples of what they had come up with).
