Hillary Anger Elfenbein
“Hillary can connect with her students through her passion in the classroom. Her ability to connect with students on a personal level reflects her genuine care for their growth and development, both academically and personally. Hillary deconstructs real-world experiences, allowing students to better grasp complex concepts and see their applicability in the real world. Her enthusiasm for teaching is infectious, and her unique teaching style is inspiring and greatly appreciated.” Tom Graff, PMBA 51

“The leadership Competence course taught by Hillary Anger Elfenbein was a mix of self-reflection, group collaboration, and interactive instruction. She masterfully facilitated active discussions and participation that amplified my learning. I would say the focus on leveraging strengths while improving areas for growth is something I found timely at this stage of my leadership journey.
The in-person activities and team projects, although over a short period, enabled valuable hands-on practice, applying leadership frameworks, and gaining deeper self-awareness. I cannot recommend the interactive, introspective approach highly enough, and look forward to enrolling in additional courses taught by the professor in the semesters ahead of me.”
