Courses I'd like to teach

Many of these are based on books I've read and loved (mostly audio books from http://www.audible.com/

Part of me is looking to our courses to have a community to talk about the books - and I think these work very well with our focus on leadership for adult working professionals.

Here they go (note - these are just my ideas....and not at all courses that are approved or in the pipeline or anything - again just my ideas):
