I liked the practical exercises during the course. The opportunity to discuss with the trainer real situations that I deal with while performing my work in the context of the material learned. It's nice that the trainer also shared examples from her life that allowed the theory to be better grounded in reality.

Course - Design Thinking Fundamentals
Very interesting presentation of the topic and distribution of knowledge, there was not too much information (good portion of knowledge :)). I liked the optimism, not the triggering (free discussion). Useful knowledge and tools that can be used in the company (GROW, TOC, FUCO. In the last classes, I liked drawing attention to emotions and looking for their causes. It was important during the training to gain awareness of the world and pay attention to the needs and thoughts of the employee (empathy his point of view).
