“It was the singular most impactful personal development exercise I have ever had”

Quick summary

Mariah credits CPM with giving them the confidence to pursue an ambitious international career opportunity they would have previously avoided. The course became their most impactful personal development experience, providing daily-use techniques and a supportive global community.

CPM alone was worth my entire MBA tuition. It was the singular most impactful personal development exercise I have ever had. I learnt techniques that I literally use every day in my professional and personal interactions. Normally I would have run away from the prospect of working in a country I have never been to, in a language I did not speak, for one of the most exclusive employers in the world in the worst recession of our lifetime – but thanks to CPM this is not only fine but also a dream come true.

My five closest friends in business school were all in the course and I have a network of deep friendships with alumni of the course all over the world. The course and the community helped me through very difficult personal life transition. I cannot overstate the impact of CPM on my life.
