Courses and Resource Kits

New perspective, skills, and tactics for entrepreneurial leaders and their teams.

Self-paced. Relevant. No artificial deadlines.
All practical and action-oriented.

Courses include: 
•  2-5 minute "micro-learning" modules: Each explores one specific concept, along with a related call-to-action.  (Who has time for hours of video and hours of reading?)
•  Practical exercises:  Apply your learning immediately with thought-provoking exercises you can apply immediately to your real-world work.
•  Professional Development credits:  Upon completion of each course, you will receive a certificate of completion to document your participation and to satisfy your association's or regulatory body's CPD/CE/CEU requirements.  If your association or regulatory body requires additional documentation, please contact us and we'll do our best to make sure you get what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will your online professional development courses take?

The more effort you put into each action item, the greater your impact will be. For our shorter courses, they are designed to illuminate a particular topic area, and are zero fluff: time commitment depends on how deeply you wish to implement any of the frameworks and concepts that were introduced.  Our two comprehensive courses (Thought Leadership, Trusted Advisor), are definitely not a "sit back and be entertained" training. They have been designed to minimize the amount of your time listening, in order to give you more time to actually execute.
