Agile only really delivers value when teams learn to collaborate effectively and team members share an awareness of the cost as well as the value they can be to one another. And that requires a level of transactional competence.

XTC has provided our team with the language and framework to communicate more effectively with each other, hold more efficient and productive meetings, and appreciate the value each person brings to the team. I am feeling more confident in my role and my personality, and I’m feeling more optimistic about reaching our team’s aims.

In my opinion, XTC provides you with the mechanics lacking in other teamwork assessments that simply identify (personality) types and how those styles work without providing a deeper understanding of how to work together.

XTC is very relevant to people who work in complex organizations. The knowledge acquired will improve your daily interactions forever.

This course opened my eyes as to why, though I was able to lead a compliant group to solve some problems, I was unable to consistently get the organization around me to embrace the solutions that we wrought.

Why government agencies need business education.

Initially looking into Influential U, I was skeptical about how a course focused on business professionals with eyes on growth and individual promotion correlated with my career in city government. What brought me in was the discussion about personalities and how I would learn more about interacting successfully to help influence a department or city objective. Not only did the fundamentals teach me just that, but through every session, I gleaned tools that have helped me become an efficient, effective, functional team player who can (and has) exceeded personal and professional goals.
