Mind Tools Reviews

Such a great range of type of resource, tips/videos/graphics etc, but also on key topics that I want support in.

Maybe lacking some technical resources but I don't think that's the aim

Needed help working towards management, and

I love the wide variety of learning topics. I like how straightforward the trainings are. They are really useful and relevant and easy to comprehend.

I disliked the paywall. I have had to pitch the benefits of a Mind Tools subscription to get my company to pay for it.

I was putting together a class on time management and MindTools had some great resources that helped a lot. People in my classes remarked that some of the things I got from the website were really helpful to them. They also have some great resources on leadership skills, which is something I do consulting on. I also do a lot of trainings on Emotional Intelligence and I live the resources on that topic. I like that it’s a one-stop-shop for quick learning about a wide range of topics.

Mind tools helps with gaining quality skills in management. This can become useful in so many different fields.

I did find Mind tools to be expensive, but it was still worth it

Focos on certain career skills one at a time so you don't spread yourself thin

I feel I am better at managing my time effectively.

I like that it helps you grab hold of your mind and really take control of your own thinking.

I dislike that part of Mind Tools costs, however, many parts are free, so I can't complain too much!

It is essential in evaluating career responsibilities. Everyone understands his/her own expectations.

Mind Tools offers a catalog of proven management and leadership learning resources which are very helpful and boost in career building.

Some of the resources are free but most require a monthly or annual subscription.

We are using it to access one of the most comprehensive collections of business training resources available.

You can find information on every leadership topic. If I needed to discuss a specific topic in a team meeting, I could easily search Mind Tools to find additional information on the topic, possibly a case study or some tools that could be used by my team.

I found the newsletters they sent out used to be more informative, now I find it rarely touches on topics I'm interested in.

Great resource for any leadership development or training.

Topics and information on being a leader that can easily be shared in team meetings. As a corporate trainer in leadership development, when ever I'm asked to provide some training on a topic I may not be familiar with or have trained before, the first place I look for information is Mind Tools. I find their fast catalog of information and topics very useful and great for getting pointed in the right direction.

Such a great tool or organize different enablement sessions! Keeps you organized and on track

Sometimes it can be hard to sort through material. But the search bar helps.

It is great for when you are ramping into a new role and need to stay on top of enablement

There are so many resources available for free. Templates, and short narratives bring theory and practice to life. It’s not difficult to quickly apply or implement a new idea method of doing something.

There is nothing that I dislike. I like this tool.

Increased productivity. I’ve used this when managing staff to discuss time management, handling difficult conversations, you name it this source has it.

The ease of access and the fact you can pace yourself with how quickly you want to go; or what you want to look at. there are a wide variety of topics you can research to help yourself or your team. You can alter to fit your company's values etc and highlight the portions you feel your company needs the most; which is a big benefit

Not very dynamic material- Very Self led; no real follow ups; or new material presented; some of it feels a little dated- also If a manager isn't self driven, or doesnt find performance management useful they more than likely will not be self motivated to log on individually to complete the modules.

Take the time to customize the material for your company and check in on if it being used correctly

With A smaller performance management/L&D team that is spread out for employees across the globe- this tool allows users to log on during their availability and receive training/materials instantly. It allows for users to go at their own pace and have a wide array of resources at their fingetrtips.

knowledge available for beginners, intermediate and advanced

most content is in article format and not available offline; difficult to access in transit.

I really like this product for individual use and this rating is based on that
