Complete 2 Personal/Prof Development Courses (read all 8 entries…)
Starfruit Society 2 months ago

It’s not a course exactly, but a high performing group coaching group. 3 of us hired a coach and we’ve worked through personal and professional visions of what we want to do (next) and how to craft the careers and lives we want.

Now I’m working on creating a Mastermind group with another friend, Siddiq. That I’m hoping will be about a 6 month project.

I’d like to focus on public speaking skills next I think. I will check out online resources.
