“It was absolutely what I needed. It helped confirm a few of my fears, and gave me actionable ideas on how to resolve them. It was a brilliant course.”
Rachael Saffer
Product Marketing Manager (Lead)
“The course was informative and provides some good tools and templates to establish and improve cross-functional collaboration. I love the RESPECT acronym as it's easy to remember. The content level is good for new PMMers and still good nuggets for more tenured PMMers."
Maina Geraghty
Senior Director, Growth Marketing Center
“The Cross Functional Collaboration Certified Masters Course is GREAT! Highly recommend to anyone that works cross functionally. This course gives a great non-bias perspective on etiquette with stakeholder management but most importantly reminds of how to be the best teammate you can be! Definitely recommend for any digital or in person workforce.”

However, all’s not lost – you’ll have still learned lots and you’ll be given access to the course materials for life, so you can brush up on the bits you slipped up on forevermore.
