Take free online classes from 80+ top universities and organizations. Coursera is a social entrepreneurship company partnering with Stanford University, Yale University, Princeton University and others around the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. We believe in connecting people to a great education so that anyone around the world can learn without limits.
Beth Kanter's insight:
This course will use social network analysis, both its theory and computational tools, to make sense of the social and information networks that have been fueled and rendered accessible by the internet. Everything is connected: people, information, events and places, all the more so with the advent of online social media. A practical way of making sense of the tangle of connections is to analyze them as networks. In this course you will learn about the structure and evolution of networks, drawing on knowledge from disciplines as diverse as sociology, mathematics, computer science, economics, and physics. Online interactive demonstrations and hands-on analysis of real-world data sets will focus on a range of tasks: from identifying important nodes in the network, to detecting communities, to tracing information diffusion and opinion formation.

Learning leadership skills: Learn and grow as a leader by keeping a journal.
Beth Kanter's insight:
Read your goals daily - Develop a leadership notebook and create a place to store your written goals. Keep a journal - In your leadership notebook, create a journal tab. Reflect on your day and make summary notes. You can use a tool such as Evernote. Record key thoughts daily – Make it a discipline to record your thoughts daily without exception. Don’t be lengthy. Create short summary statements that are easy to write and review. Record the key revelations. Review weekly/monthly - Develop a routine of reviewing what you have written at the end of each week and at the end of each month. You are likely to be amazed at your own progress – or lack of progress. Either way, you gain clarity that is priceless. You are your own best teacher - Be open and vulnerable, as well as honest. Write to yourself. Acknowledge your own shortcomings, as well as your victories. Be open to what you are seeing. Don’t write a lot of stuff - Just jot down the key points – that’s it. Record what’s important - You don’t really know what is important and what’s not. Just write what you think is important. You can cross it off or edit it later. Set aside 15 minutes daily to write - The key concept is to calendar this item. Put down a time on your calendar to do this, or it will not happen. Set aside 30 minutes on Friday to review and record - This extended time will help you define your overall journey, as well as the incremental steps. Be faithful and think results - Faithful is showing up. Results is a mindset and focus. Read your goals daily - I said this earlier. It warrants repeating. Be in touch with your passion for the goal. That makes it work. - See more at: http://transformationalstrategist.com/grow-your-leadership-skills-by-being-a-good-student/#sthash.SIWaf6FC.dpuf

Infographics on being creative in life and inspiration with top 29 ways to be creative on success and startup exploring and researching ideas and concept... My favorite ways to stay creative are: * Reading (actual BOOKS not blog posts lol). * Creating thought experiments. * Doing math in my head (I suck at it so it forces all the reserves in). * Music especially LOUD rock or jazz (Miles especially). * Taking pictures to support a story. * Watching TV (Ovation, PBS and HBO best sources of inspiration). * Working out (back when I had the energy to do that LOL). * Playing with my crazy bengal cat Lucian. * Shopping but only in musuem or art stores. * Looking at great design (effect is delayed but there). * Changing a location (traveling). * Used to read magazines, blogs don't seem to do it. * Read something HARD I don't understand (all in again). * Interview someone smarter than me. * Curate something especially across nontraditional lines. * Create a contest or a game. * Manipulate SPEED of task (speed up or slow way down). * Think about creative times in the past (working with Alton Pickens at Vassar).

Beth Kanter's insight:
The point that resonated: why 2nd and 3rd degree connections matter. Here’s where the caveat to the Six Degrees of Separation theory comes in. Academically, the theory is correct, but when it comes to meeting people who can help you professionally, three degrees of separation is what matters. Three degrees is the magic number because when you’re introduced to a second- or third-degree connection, at least one person in an introduction chain personally knows the origin or target person. In this example: You—> Karen—> Jane—> Sarah. Karen and Jane are in the middle, and both of them know either You or Sarah—the two people who are trying to connect. That’s how trust is preserved. If one additional degree of separation is added, a person in the middle of the chain will know neither You nor Sarah, and thus have no stake in making sure the introduction goes smoothly. After all, why would a person bother to introduce a total stranger (even if that stranger is a friend of a friend of a friend) to another total stranger?
