About the Course

Lessons on Wisdom: Personal Leadership for Your Life is the culmination of four decades of studying and sharing about leaders and life for Professor Sydney Finkelstein. This course will teach you how to be a wise leader both personally and professionally. It is a personal, meaningful course that encourages all participants to change and grow.

This course and the other courses within the Strategic Leadership certificate were excellent! So much of the content will help me now and later. Really insightful habits to build. Appreciated Professor Finkelstein's engaging delivery and the deep experience that he spoke from. An expert who was willing to share his missteps and learning to help students learn and thrive! Recommend!!

These days I am obsessed with both education but also, critical reasoning skills. This specialization was well crafted from beginning to end. I loved Sydney and truly felt like we were in this journey together. I loved the insightful prompts and creative thinking exercises. Learning about all those companies and about their CEO's was fascinating. Entertaining and thought provoking.

This entire specialization was incredibly valuable for evaluating myself. Finklestein is a fantastic lecturer. I also purchased books written by podcast guests - "Uncolonized Latinas" written by Valeria Aloe and "Slow Productivity" by Cal Newport. Life Changing!
