I’ve come to expect nothing less than greatness on how the GoLeanSixSigma.com crew handles their intuitive self-placed learning platform! The Champion Course did not disappoint – with a steady dose of engaging modules, webinars, podcasts, and blogs. The flow of the phases is exactly how one would want to approach the transitioning within their own operations – as I now will be doing. The sections over transforming the culture and coaching really stood out to me – can’t wait to implement within my own team. You’ll continuously hear the tagline of “Building Problem-Solving Muscles” – and that’s exactly what this course does. Thanks Elisabeth and Tracy!
This simple, easy online course provides a great background for a Lean Six Sigma Champion. The podcasts, interviews, webinars and presentations all contribute to a mixed-model teaching and learning experience that keeps your attention. I strongly recommend this course for any leaders working to improve their soft skills and empower their teams.
This is a great course. The course takes a deep dive into Lean Leadership concepts while keeping it light and engaging with humor and stories that support learning. The different formats between webinars, podcasts, modules and blogs support inclusion of all as there are those that learn differently. The most important lessons in Lean Principles and Lean Leadership are repeated at different intervals to refresh and make sure we learn to keep them a priority.
Most importantly, the instructors keep all of the lessons positive and light. Keeping the program enjoyable while concentrating on the importance of the students passing on the information, sharing, teaching, coaching in a similar positive manner. In line with all that is Lean. Respect for people.
To me, being a relative new member of the Lean Community, the Online Lean Six Sigma Champion Training was a great way to educate myself further on the topic of Lean. By starting with the basics and then taking a deeper dive into what it means to be a Lean Leader, this course has given me some very valuable insights and a new perspective on my role.
The do’s and don’ts of coaching people who are in the process of adopting the Lean philosophy and the practical tips on how to use some of the Lean Tools make this course a great learning experience for anyone who is interested in Lean.
I would highly recommend this training and certification to anyone with influence of others in their organization because it contains a great self-paced learning platform with several types of training styles that keep you engaged and hungry for the next module. It also contains tons of relevant content on how to implement and support a lean culture in your organization.
You’ll learn about tools, techniques, and concepts that help you to empower your people (your greatest asset) to identify and solve problems at the lowest level, freeing them up to do more value added activities. Additionally, there’s helpful insight on how you can become a better leader grows their people into lean problem solvers and a leader that people want to follow.
GoLeanSixSigma.com’s courses have put our teams on the right continuous improvement path. I had a lot of fun working on my project and their templates made the process so much easier and enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to upcoming projects.

Outstanding course on lean leadership, comprehensive in its content, well-prepared using variety of modalities, readily accessible for all levels of Lean Six Sigma practitioner, and presented in an informative and fun conversational style. The course covered everything from philosophy of Lean culture and inspirational calls to action, to common missteps and experience-based advice, to leadership implementation guides, tools and templates. With Tracy O'Rourke and Elisabeth Swan as course instructors, the course was truly a delightful experience all around! I highly recommend it for managers and for individual contributors alike - for as we learned, each of us can manifest leadership in the way we pursue continuous improvement in the workplace.
The authors and instructors, Tracy and Elisabeth, were both on point with the content and very effective with their approach to teaching the content. I truly appreciated the elegance of packaging so much knowledge so succinctly and delivering an unforgettable learning experience. As a result I am very energized and much better prepared to continue the journey of influencing corporate leaders to embrace lean six sigma leadership and to promote cultures of problem solvers. Thank you Tracy and Elisabeth!
i wish that I was involved with these courses ,years ago. they really put a frame of logical and scientific method for dealing with anything in life and not only at work. I will promote this to my family, friends and colleagues in addition to using it at work.
I have a green belt. This course strengths my green belt skills and further expands my view to be a leader. I like the part of how to influence others with scientific methods.
An absolute wonderful course with a variety of learning materials and amazing speakers. With a Global leadership role in a non-profit organization, the learning experience will support "Building Problem-Solving Muscles" and leading global continuous improvement initiatives in mature as well as more challenging contexts.
Very smooth. Webinars gave great examples and this was easy to follow. GoLeanSixSigma has created a site that promotes smoothness and fluidity. Other companies could learn a thing or two from GLSS.
Great training course for those just starting out with Lean or as a refresher on the main topics of Lean. Covers the basics and provides different ways of learning Lean topics. Great training course!!
As all other training provided by GoLeanSixSigma its excellent quality. The training is a great mix of practical examples and theory. Tracy and Elisabeth share their valuable experiences and has created an awesome training for this critical role, the Champion. This course will help you build a culture of continuous improvement and strengthen the problem-solving skills of your organization. The interviews with people sharing their experiences was really valuable and inspiring.
I've come to expect nothing less than greatness on how the GLSS Crew handles their intuitive self-placed learning platform! The Champion Course did not disappoint - with a steady dose of engaging modules, webinars, podcasts, and blogs. The flow of the phases is exactly how one would want to approach the transitioning within their own operations - as I now will be doing. The sections over transforming the culture and coaching really stood out to me - can't wait to implement within my own team. You'll continuously hear the tagline of "Building Problem-Solving Muscles" - and that's exactly what this course does. Thanks Elisabeth and Tracy!
The Lean Six Sigma Champion course offers straight forward training to facilitate the development of leadership and soft managerial skills in an organization. The course opens the door to better communication skills between managers and employees and empowers employees to engage in LSS problem-solving techniques.
