Stella, Program Director Odyssey Educational Foundation Nigeria

The course has been quite helpful and I like the fact that after each lesson you take a decision of what to keep doing, what to stop and what to continue doing, it helped me take decisions needed to help my enterprise. The lesson was structured in a manner that the exercises were also guided so you do not fall off track. Overall I have a better understanding of how to work with my team and start my enterprise with all the vigor needed to excel.
