Learn from the Best - How to Tap into a Free Online Learning

One of the reasons I started this blog is because I am a life long learner and wanted to share with others my thoughts and what intrigues me.  There are so many ways to learn and interact that I get excited just thinking about the opportunities so I wanted to talk about just a few that can really help you take it to the next level in your life or career.

Meettheboss.tv - This one is really cool.  Here you can see videos, listen to podcasts or read articles with some of the top leaders in the country and the world speaking about leadership, strategy and more.

See the CEO of Clorox, Don Knauss, talk about leadership and strategy.  One of the things I especially like about what he says is related to the importance of people to your success and the power of trust.

Harvard Open Learning Initiative - Did you know you could take non-credit online courses at Harvard for free?  While the free offerings are limited, you never know what might be there for the taking, such as the current Intensive Introduction to Computer Science Using C, PHP, and JavaScript taught by David J. Malan, PhD, Lecturer on Computer Science.

Harvard is not the only school that offers free online learning.  Other free online learning universities include Stanford, MIT and many more.

Others learning resources I use regularly include:  Linkedin Groups, Industry newsletters and YouTube.  And of course, stay tapped in to your local professional organizations for learning and networking.  I actively participate in the American Marketing Association, American Advertising Federation, Online Marketing Connect, Doterati, Hotel Sales and Marketing Association.  Even if you are not a member, there is still a lot of learning to be had.

Happy Learning!
