Huge thanks to Anna and Amanda for such a thoughtful and well-structured course! This course is packed with real-world scenarios, making it super practical and easy to apply. The instructors shared a good amount of tactics and problem-solving approaches for handling difficult stakeholders, which I found incredibly useful. What really stood out was how engaged and responsive they were. The office hours gave me a chance to ask questions and dive deeper into the material. Both of their insights, based on their own professional experiences, were invaluable. As someone new to this field, I took this course because I had just dealt with a challenging stakeholder, and this course gave me exactly what I needed, which was an opportunity to reflect and learn from that experience. If you are in a similar situation or just want to level up your stakeholder management skills, I highly recommend this course!

Great course to learn techniques for navigating challenging stakeholder relationships. It strikes a good balance between practical strategies and insightful frameworks, making it easy to apply the concepts to real-world scenarios. Stakeholder management is crucial at every stage of a user researcher's career, and arguably even more so as you progress. Though perhaps most directly applicable to mid-senior URs, I still found it insightful for every level. The tools and tips provided in this course are immediately applicable, and I'm confident this will be a resource I return to time and time again.

The heart of this course is for any UX researcher who wants to build stronger, more positive partnerships with their stakeholders. It’s intensive and packed with scripts and frameworks that are easy to apply right away. I love the interactive role-playing exercises — so many ‘aha’ moments came out of those conversations. Even as a senior UX researcher, I realized there were things I had been overlooking when working with different types of stakeholders. A huge shoutout to Amanda and Anna—they were incredibly adaptive to our cohort’s needs, adding bonus materials based on our questions and interests. For me, one of the biggest perks is the continued support through Open Hour sessions, where you can stay in touch with them and discuss all aspects of your work once you're a cohort member. So it's not a one-time experience that you'd store in your Drive, but it's a long-term value!
