Read MoreI love how efficient and to the point this course was! It gave me the info I needed in a very easy to understand format. I paused and came back a few times and must say Saeed delivered exactly what he advertised and the added value of the consultation and templates are worth way more than what I paid. Definitely recommend this course to any public affairs professional wanting to increase their understanding on what is normally convoluted subject-matter. Great work!

Read MoreThis course teaches you the practical steps of how to work with government to affect change - an invaluable resource for NGOs, businesses and individuals looking to learn more about how to affect public policies (i.e. affordable housing, regulations affecting business owners, etc.) through collaboration and advocacy. Saeed demystifies the concept of public policy and gives you practical recommendations and template letters to form invaluable relationships with people in powerful positions. Further, he gives you the confidence to communicate with officials even if you are inexperienced - he reminds you that your voice matters and gives you the tools to advocate for yourself. This is a great example of someone who uses their education and experience to help those of us who are negatively impacted by a public policy or looking to have one created/enforced to our benefit. Well organized, practical and engaging - will be recommending to friends and family!

Read MoreThe lessons and templates were just what I needed. I have a Masters of Public Policy and this was surprisingly more helpful and hands-on than my 2 year program. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to identify practical skills in GR and also get an understanding of how media relations and attracting media, works!

Read MoreI graduated from undergrad in 2010 so I was a bit nervous about taking this course but Saeed was great. He manages to break down what can be a confusing topic and deliver it in a way I found engaging, informative and simple to understand. I can confidently say that I know what steps to take in order to begin to address public policy issues in my community moving forward and this is honestly a tool every individual should have.
