Very intriguing course. Being an English-as-a-second-language speaker with most of my life, this course really taught me communication strategies I have never thought about myself. Now that I have tried them out on my own in future meetings, I believe they enhance the meetings from being dull and boring, to fun and enjoyable. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to up their game on communication.

This is one of the best courses I have come across. I could listen to Ivan without feeling exhausted. He knows how to capture the audience attention. Loads of easy to implement tips, especially during the virtual age. It helps me feel empowered managing virtual teams. Thank you Ivan. If you have more such courses, please let me know. It was time well-invested. All the very best to you for future.

This course is more than awesome! I don't know before that just a simple strategy could enchance the way our communication work. A basic understanding on the related things of communication hit the spot. You get not just a knowledge but also a knack on how to used it. Step by step, I believe everyone could improve the way they communicate while practicing this. Thanks, it means a lot for me!

I have learned so much from understanding people to becoming a more impactful storyteller throughout the course. Thank you for a thorough course Professor Ivan Wanis Ruiz!

This class was outstanding! Professional and aspiring speakers would greatly benefit from this class There is so much I will be using to launch my team building business. Presentations was an important component in my marketing plan. This class was my favorite so far with Coursera. I have so many take aways that I could use for my own professional development and with clients.

Thanks for such an amazing course. Ivan not only explained about the nitigrities of communication, but also forced majority of us to step out of our comfort zone, and do tasks that not everyone's cup of tea. I want to thank the entire team behind this course, and a special appreciation for Ivan who just went beyond leaps and bounds to bring such a beautiful course like this.

I found this course to be very very interesting and useful, for both face2face and virtual communication. I have learned a lot and evolved a lot from the beginning til the end of the course. Ivan is a great presenter, has a lot of charisma and really emphasizes all the aspect that you need to know, to learn in this course. I will definitely recommend this course to my peers.

This program has helped me in getting those 2 min strategies to communicate effectively at workplace and even with people where you have little hope to get work done. The Instructor was very clear and precise. Effective course materials that helped me to stay focused and get the right amount of information each time. Thanks to the Coursera team and the University of Toronto!

Ivan is a skilled instructor and kept me engaged throughout the entire course! I've taken quite a few courses already and I have to say that his course is truly exceptional because of his delivery, his humour and his presentation! I was sad to have finished the course as I wanted to learn more from him. Please have him instruct more Coursera courses! Thank you, Ivan!!

Excellent course! Highly recommended for people who do a lot of virtual group speaking and communication. Refreshes the reason why you present - engage your audience, create curiosity and deliver the information. 5 Stars for our instructor Ivan Ruiz! I appreciate sharing your personal insights, experiences and knowledge . Grateful to be included in one of your sessions.

Getting acknowledgement through your effective communication skill always benefical to you and your career in one's work sourrounding. and that exactly wat i taught in this course.Learnt various ways to deal with different people without discouraging their own opinion.and the way Ivan explain whole theory concept it made me active and energetic in overall session.

It's a beautiful course. The strategies & techniques discussed here are so impactful. The way Ivan takes you forward in the course, you never feel bored. I planned to do the course in 3-4 weeks, but I completed in less than 2 weeks (much shorter if not for the assignments :)). Great course & Highly recommended to all professionals & future aspiring leaders.

Perfect for internal communication in this new technological era. This course is great in teaching different speech strategies with coworkers in real-time or in virtual platforms like emails to facecam. I really recommend it to help with your speech if you feel you have problems communicating with people for a job or project in an office or in virtual chat!

This course was an incredible way to learn strategies and ways to communicate, it is enjoyable, and it really make you feel that you can improve the way you talk and communicate with others, not only at work but in your personal life; I had a fantastic time learning. I do not feel afraid to speak in public anymore. I definitely super recommend this course.

This course taught me how to speak in a group, how to handle meetings, how to handle people with different mentalities. Each lesson from Prof. Evan was a surprising pack for me. I thank University of Toronto and Coursera for placing this course as free in this Covid 19 period. The talks by Prof. Evan become guide rules for my future online teaching.

I really liked this course, I just wish I had more time to spare to review the course material more in depth but due to my job I can't at the moment. However I learned many different strategies that I can apply when it comes to public speaking, which are especially beneficial to me as I'm a shy person who struggle to make a point sometimes. Thanks.

This course has helped me a lot to get used to learning new things. I think I have lived with this course the whole year since I was procrastinating but after some time, I realized that it's not right. The learning which Ivan provided helped me in my blogs.

Now, I am trying to apply it as much as I can in writing, although less in speaking.

Course contents are super practical, interesting, and relevant to a wide array of audience. Presentation and organization of course materials are professionally done in a clear, logical, engaging and concise manner. The modules structure of the course is also quite effective to prevent students from feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommended !

This is one of the most helpful course I've done till date! Ivan is a mind blowing teacher. His teaching skills are top notch! I recommend everyone to check out this amazing course. The only thing I felt bad is that the assignment review could have been done by the tutor instead of peers, so that the grading could have been much effective.

This course is absolutely amazing!!! I've never had such a wonderful teacher in the online courses I've experienced. I can't put it in words how awesome he is in teaching and how much you can learn from this course. I learned many many useful and great tips, tools, and knowledge in this course. Thank you soooooo much Mr. Ivan Wanis Ruiz.

This curse is like the perfect example for an entertaining and valuable lesson. Short video tutorials come direct to the point, giving you a set of really good tools for virtual and real world communication. I loved to learn about the 3 traps and the 5%-rule. It's like an eye opener! Thank yo so much, Ivan, that is a must-have-training!

Great course and absolutely relevant in today's context where most people are working from home. The concepts and presentation were great, the tutor had a very good command over language and content, his examples were apt and useful and one could relate to those despite being in different geography with a different cultural background.

I really enjoyed this online class and found it very useful, especially for our current scenario. The teacher gave easy to use tools, was very clear, and used very good examples. He also gave good references which I will probably purchase a few to add more know-how to the new skills I have gained. I highly recommend this class.

This course taught me so many new skills. I learned to identify and communicate with different communication styles, create a simple and engaging presentation and present in a way that keeps the audience curious and also emphasizes key points. I really liked how Ivan taught the course and used real life examples for every topic.

I thought that the course was very helpful in understanding communication and how to better communicate in a digital age as well as in person. I believe that Ivan knows what he is talking about and although some of the concepts took me out of my normal train of thought, it challenged me to change up how I have been doing things.
