BG5 Business Institute Instructor TestimonialsI just wanted to share what a wonderful experience being in Banu's semester 1 BG5 certification class has been.
First of all, she is a joy as a person and is extremely knowledgeable and competent. She also has a lot of experience in the real world in a business setting.
She's always very careful to make sure we understand the material and she tries to present it in many ways to encompass all our potentially different learning styles.
She inspires us all to participate within the group, and I have never seen such an active class forum in my life!
In addition to presenting all the material in an understandable manner, she also gives us personal tips and tricks to help in our future BG5 analyst roles and makes sure that we know that she is always available to us outside of class as well.
Banu is also talented in choosing an assistant teacher in Manu, who always takes the time and effort to respond to our homework in the class forum every week. Manu is kind and so knowledgeable and always has a pertinent and insightful comment to share with us. I really appreciate that quality...
I look forward to taking more classes with them both!

”I am almost finishing my first semester with BG5 Consultant Training with Banu.
Firstly, Banu is amazing…
The way she is presenting & transferring knowledge to the students, replying questions. Other side way of giving feed backs and following up before and after classes was amazing. I really loved to join her classes, and I recommend any one go with Banu.
I will go with Banu and BG5 as further as I can go… I would like to become BG5 instructor, even instructor trainer one day. (I believe terminology is correct for BG5 training structure.)
Thank you all in advance.”

”Completing Semester 1 of the BG5 Certification Program has been a transformative experience.
The depth of knowledge I continue to gain about BG5 is invaluable, and I owe a great deal of this to my incredible instructor, Banu.
Her guidance has been nothing short of amazing.
Banu's ability to make complex concepts accessible and practical has empowered me to apply what I've learned in real-life situations effectively.
I am grateful for her unwavering support and look forward to continuing my journey in this program.”

”I loved my course with Banu!
”Enrolling in Banu's BG5 foundational course was a transformative experience. Banu's exceptional teaching style and unwavering support made the learning journey truly remarkable. She fostered an environment where sharing observations and experiences wasn't just encouraged; it was integral to the learning process. Throughout the course, Banu's expertise shone through, providing invaluable insights that have significantly impacted my understanding of my unique career style, my wisdom potential and impact on the business world. Her ability to seamlessly blend theory with real-world applications allowed me to not only grasp the concepts but also apply them confidently in my career.
In summary, I wholeheartedly endorse Banu's BG5 foundational course to anyone seeking a comprehensive, dynamic, and supportive learning experience. It's an investment that pays off not just in knowledge gained but in the confidence to embrace and elevate your professional journey.
”Banu is a solid teacher who knows the sometimes complex material of BG5 and not only explains it well so that it’s easily understandable, but more importantly she can field any question put to her, and is willing to spend however long it takes for the student to understand. I know, because she’s been highly responsive to my litany of questions long after our course was completed, and always answers them with an enthusiastic, encouraging smile!
I’m thankful Banu was my teacher for BG5 certification.”

” I'm a big observer and most of the time speechless, but I listen carefully. I have a deep focus for things that interest me. However, with the knowledge of BG5, dilemmas that I had not noticed before, or that I did not care about, became clear. Losing focus. I didn't even notice that. This is completely contradictory to my focus. It is true that I have a deep focus, but during my education with Banu (Foundation courses 1,2, and BG5 Certification 1,2,3) I noticed, deep in the background, how certain information escapes me. Banu has this quality, at least from my perspective, to give the knowledge that you also catch the missing parts and to really notice what is behind the scene. For me, she is a Great Respectful Outer Authority. She has an innate quality and, Yes I was attracted to her respected leadership. I am not easily influenced. She cares about her students, her natural calmness, willingness to answer students dilemmas. She ”throws practical examples out of her sleeve” to make it easier to identify knowledge. Although all of us /students have a lot of experience, it helps us to place them in BG5 knowing that you can also see things from the other side of the table and always encourages us to share our experiences.
I am grateful for her dedicated sharing of the knowledge and all the empowerment she shares with us. As a CEO, I know all my employees. I know them well. I pay attention to the needs and demands of my people. Now I also see all the weak points of the company, and with Banu's experience in the business world and valuable knowledge that she shares, I can find the right solution for the company. When the student is ready, the teacher comes! I was in the right place at the right time!”

"My job is about orchestrating a team of experts to crack complex problems, and innovate. During this process of hunting for solutions in the uncharted territory, all team members are asked to deliver their best; and as a leader, my task is to form the best team, and promote the conditions to keep everyone engaged during the journey. Along the path, you slowly understand how differently all team members are wired, then, you adapt your style accordingly, and everything works fine... Not really, and not always, right? Sometimes, you simply don't get it... All of your good intentions, leadership courses, and books do not seem to help in keeping everyone engaged - including yourself. After all those hopeless google searches of "how to...", I feel lucky to be introduced to the world of BG5 by Banu as an analyst first- and later as a teacher. Learning about how my design, and other designs work together (or not) is simply a boost of empathy - that we all need more of nowadays. She walks you through the BG5 world step by step, and makes the otherwise complex concepts tangible, and most importantly "applicable" on the work floor, thanks to her years of experience as a leader in the industry. Banu quickly equips you with the signposts to follow, and experimenting with those is the fun part! Besides, all "a ha!" moments in her classes, especially in 1-to-1`s with her, I get to appreciate the mechanics for giving us the "advisors", like Banu."

"The BG5 consultant program has provided me with a fresh and valuable perspective on how we can understand and support small business and people's potential in career and professional domains. I feel inspired and confident in applying these teachings in my consulting practice, knowing that I can make a positive impact on my clients' lives.
My journey in the BG5 consultant program with Banu has been very valuable. I particularly appreciated Banu's practical approach and the way she seamlessly blended theory with real-life examples from the corporate world, enabling us to better understand and apply the concepts in a practical context.
Banu has been an inspiring and dedicated instructor, always willing to answer our questions and address our concerns. She created an open and friendly environment where I felt comfortable exploring and freely sharing my thoughts and experiences.
Furthermore, professionalism and deep knowledge in the field of BG5 were evident throughout the entire program. I had confidence that I was receiving the most up-to-date and relevant information, along with quality guidance for our development as BG5 consultants. I enjoy Andy's assistance in this course. He was very supportive, present on forums and in weekly sessions, I felt that he cared about us and our learning journey.
It was a wonderful learning experience for me."

"Semester 3 of the Business Consultant Certification Program (and the whole program overall) was a deeply insightful and knowledge-building experience for me. This program encompassed more than I could have imagined, and I feel prepared and so excited to bring this into the world as a consultant.
Banu is an AMAZING instructor! She covered the course content in an easily digestible way, and could always clearly answered my questions. She made the classes engaging, and her instructing abilities really shined through.
I highly recommend this program, and Banu as an instructor, to anyone interested in embarking on the journey to becoming a certified BG5 Career and Business Consultant!"

"I loved this semester! I got so much more out of it than I could have imagined, especially since I came from the HD Foundation courses and not the BG5 Foundation. I love the practical application of this information in the business/material world, and the content was formatted and presented in a way that I could easily learn and understand.
I really appreciated being able to watch the recordings later on (since I couldn't attend live), and still engage with everyone in the forum. And Banu has been a WONDERFUL instructor! She's so kind and helpful, and she brought a great energy to the course. I can't wait to take Semester 2 with her!
Thank you very much! "
