Leading Life*: "Your future depends on what you do today."
“Your future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Inspired by the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi and other great leaders and thinkers like him, in Coursewell’s Leading Life course, you will learn how you can lead yourself (and your team) to a thriving, even blissful, work-life in challenging times. But, please act now by simply writing an email to walter@coursewell.com. [There are no application forms to complete but must indicate the reason(s) for joining our faculty, retired executives, entrepreneurs, and other interested learners like yourself.]
During this course, Tuesday live sessions at 2 PM USA Eastern time, you will learn & apply:
A more thoughtful way to learn. And, more importantly, find a better way to remember, retain and recall what you have learned. For instance, many learners and researchers have discovered that changing locations and taking a quiz before studying the subject matter can improve subsequent learning.
Develop an integrated work-life strategy for you, your family, and your organization, since work-life is not divided into compartmentalized silos. Our brains are always on, even while relaxing and dreaming.
Acquire life-work strategic leadership skills to thrive in life and work—no matter the present or future challenges. For instance, learn how to lead (influence) decision-makers and peers towards a strategic goal.
Learn a holistic methodology to design & develop a better work-life for you (or your family, or your team)—socially, emotionally, intellectually, and financially.
Work on exciting real-life business & community projects along with active faculty, retired executives, entrepreneurs, participants, and your peers.
Learn to meditate and lead a work-life of purpose, riches, and focus.
