Me encantó como está estructurado, muy claro el paso a paso y como va trabajando el método con una persona real.
Me encantó el contenido del curso y los ejercicios. Pude reflexionar y entender hacia donde quiero enfocar mi camino
Un ottimo corso.
Sto cercando di iniziare un nuovo percorso di vita, lasciando il posto da dipendente per avviare qualcosa di mio, ma prima sentivo la necessità di rifocalizzarmi, conoscermi meglio.
Questo corso mi ha aiutato a mettere a fuoco, rispolverare alcune esperienze lavorative passate, e aprire nuove prospettive.
Es un excelente curso, me ayudó bastante.
Es un excelente curso. Antes pensaba en que para tener un buen trabajo de dependencia había que decir si a todo, no cuestionarse si esto encaja o no con quien quieres ser, con lo que quieres aprender, en sí con progresar en nuestra propia vida. Reflexionando en qué es importante para cada uno (nuestros valores) podemos saber en qué realmente queremos trabajar, y pasa de ser un ''vamos a ver que tal este trabajo'' a un ''trabajo aquí porque voy a progresar, crecer y sentirme a gusto''.
