“Lyel is an inspired teacher, student, facilitator, expert that is genuinely passionate about the ways people are making an impact in this world and our local communities. He has walked the talk and is very knowledgeable about the leaders and influencers. I am in the thick of a mid-career change from the private sector to public service. Not only did this class give me a great overview of the key players and issues, but it emblazoned my passion/heart with more purpose and possibility. Oh, and Lyel also has a remarkably generous spirit (he really wants to help the SkillShare students) and is pretty funny. ”

“I've been interested in Social Innovation for some time now and have managed some ways to find my place in that arena. However, I still feel like it hasn't been enough and I'm now looking for a different path. Lyel's class was exactly the wave I needed to catch. His words were very insightful, poignant, and encouraging. While the term "Social Innovation" can seem vague and confusing, the class zeroed in on its meaning. Lyel's passion resonated with me so much that I had a hard time falling asleep afterwards. I cannot wait for his next class. Lyel is an outstanding teacher and human being. Thank you for sharing your energy and love, Lyel!”
