I really enjoyed Prof. Wadhwa's style and presentation. He made the course very interesting and made it feel as though I was right there. The real-world scenarios he offered really helped the content hit home. The issue trees, the pyramid principle and other such methods that he taught will help me refine my presentations and the way I relate to clients.
