    A great class that touches so many different areas. Definitely will be one I come back to over and over as I work on the different skills. Well worth it!

  • Lucien L. Mar 7, 2021

    The teacher is good but too verbose. This course could be shorten if she would go to the facts more quickly.

  • Steve K. Jun 22, 2020

    Brilliantly engaging and practical. The teaching style is helpful in both understanding the concepts and seeing the in action. I feel much better equipped to read body language and am more aware of what mine is saying to others.

    This course is amazing. It's very well thought out and full of very useful content. I can't believe anyone would give this a negative vote, but thats the internet for you.

    I loved the course, just not sure how to communicate or ask the instructor questions on line.

  • Jonathan C. Jul 5, 2017

    Amazing class. I learned a ton. The links need to be updated. One thing that bothered me is that "you scratch and itch", but you wouldn't "itch a scratch"

  • santino T. Jan 23, 2017

    great class but the links provided don't work. I emailed about this issue and no response.

  • A. Oct 30, 2016

    Awesome court with body language.

  • E. Sep 17, 2016

    Save your money, buy one of the many books available and check out the subject on you tube Can be so slow ,

  • P. Sep 1, 2016

    Wow - great insights!!

  • Thalita V. Aug 22, 2016

    It is definitely a must-see course, it's life-changing. I don't know why we aren't taught this kind of thing at school, because it's so essencial! It changes the way we communicate with each other, and that changes absolutely everything. I'm a young woman engineer, and soooo many times I was treated childish, or diminished at such an all-men environment called workplace. I often felt like it would never change, because other people would never change. Now I know how can I present myself better, how to occupy space. I changed as a professional, and, most of all, as a person. Amazing class. It gives us back the control of our life, of how we understand ourselves and other people.

  • Salim U. Aug 21, 2016

    I love this course

  • H. Jul 4, 2016

    So far... I will be able to apply this in my profession (teacher)... so far, so good!

  • Sarah H. Jun 24, 2016

    This is a very actionable and enjoyable course. Vanessa is a dynamic teacher and her classes never get boring. She taught me how to stand in my power and feel so much more confident. Body language is truly a powerful tool! I incorporated some of what I learned in an interview and got the job offer on the spot.

  • Marie Camille A. Mar 14, 2016

    This is very very useful and practical! I am so glad I bought this class; it really is my missing ingredient in life! Thank you Vanessa for teaching this. I think this could save my career. Things you'll learn here are priceless. Worth it 100%!

  • Danh H. Jan 31, 2016

    I just buy this course! I hope learn a lot of things with Vanessa. :)

    Fantastic!!! I have never heard a more pertinent or helpful class - and I am continually taking classes. It was so good that I stayed up until 2am to finish it, taking notes continually - for 15 hours. Thank you, Vanessa. The next day I saw and related to the world totally differently.
