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

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.
