Description

Why another course on leadership? Haven’t we heard enough on the subject already?


Most leaders have read numerous leadership books and viewed countless seminars and podcasts. But even though they’ve experienced periodic successes, often the unexpected “potholes” on the Leadership Highway keep them from finishing well.


Fortunately, there’s a solution! This course presents time-tested principles to help leaders discover and maintain alignment with their highest calling.


Instructor Jim Buchan gleans from his diverse career path as an attorney, businessman, pastor, and author. Rather than merely rehashing leadership principles gained from other authors and presenters, Jim leans heavily on practical lessons he has learned in the day-to-day trenches of life. His experience as a Bible teacher and Christian minister is also evident in his worldview.


Participants in this course will learn how to prevent burnout…avoid moral failure…maintain their focus…and handle bullies and narcissists. You find the tools you need to regain your sharp leadership “edge”—in your physical, mental, and spiritual life.


Students can download a pdf of Jim’s highly acclaimed book, Walking the Leadership Highway—Without Becoming Roadkill! Jim would also enjoy interacting with you about the personal challenges and successes you’ve experienced as a leader.


This course includes:

- 2 Hours and 49 Minutes of on-demand videos

- Full lifetime access

- Access on mobile or desktop

- Downloadable 175-page leadership ebook

- Certificate of completion

Who this course is for:
