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.

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.
