ON COURSERA

Stew Friedman has offered two courses on Coursera. The first, Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life, was a 10-week course offered in 2014 and 2015 and had over 135,000 students enrolled worldwide. His current offering, Leading The Life You Want, has been open for enrollment since April 2017 and learners from around the world are gaining practical knowledge about leadership by studying the lives and careers of six exemplary leaders, the skills they developed to achieve significant impact, and what it takes for anyone to cultivate those skills.

Taught by acclaimed Wharton professor, best-selling author, and former Ford Motor Company executive and head of its Leadership Development Center, Leading the Life You Want provides you with the skills you need to lead in all four domains of your life: at work, at home, in the community, and in your private self (mind, body, and spirit). You'll explore the core principles of leadership and learn the skills you need to bring them to life. You learn how to find a greater sense of purpose, see how to convey values with stories, learn how to manage attention, feel less stressed, lead through serving others, and more.

You'll see these skills illustrated in the inspiring yet imperfect lives of six remarkable leaders: Tom Tierney (former CEO of Bain), Sheryl Sandberg (COO of Facebook), Michelle Obama (former First Lady), Eric Greitens (Republican Governor of Missouri), Julie Foudy (world champion soccer star and three-time Olympic medalist), and Bruce Springsteen (world-famous rock musician). You'll have the opportunity to assess your own leadership skills, and learn simple, proven exercises to practice them.

By the end of this course, you'll have the tools you need to develop your skills so you can grow as a leader in all areas of your life and create greater harmony among them. Here's what learners had to say about it:
