In a world where Zoom has become standard (and I regularly suffer Zoom fatigue) it is a standout that I spent 9 hours+ in a single day in a zoom call AND could have happily / willingly / enthusiastically carried on into the evening. The Masterclass is no doubt a fantastic grounding in all things CX, but it is amazing that this has been delivered online and was still successful in creating human connection amongst fellow pupils. Loved it.Helen Flood
