I found Know What You Don’t Know – How Great Leaders Prevent Problems Before They Happen to be an excellent book. Written by Dr. Michael A. Roberto, I bought the book after I finished a superb course of Dr. Roberto’s through the Learning Company.
I highly recommend Dr. Roberto’s book to anyone who wants to learn more about this topic.
I would love to work on a Ph.D. Some truly outstanding teachers and college professors have succeeded in shaping me into what they referred to as a lifetime learner. I loved college and would really love to study again. Unfortunately, it would be beyond what I can handle right now to travel more than half of the year, write books, blogs, video scripts and white papers while working on a doctorate, even with a distance learning program.
Fortunately, I ran across and ad in an airline magazine for the Teaching Company. This innovative and extremely well-run company records the lectures of highly regarded university professors and sells them in audio and DVD format with companion guidebooks. I have bought a couple of dozen courses from them and typically finish one or two each month. Though I read an average of two books per week, there are benefits from listening to an outstanding faculty member deliver a semester’s worth of lectures that exceed what even a well-written book can usually deliver. Being a diagnosed Dyslexic, the courses are also extremely easy for me to listen to and I feel that I retain a good bit of what I learn from them.
Listening to courses on history, political science, economics, psychology and other topics has helped me immensely as a keynote presenter, as an author and as someone who loves to learn new things. Each professor offers a unique perspective and tons of great information.
I highly recommend these high content and professionally developed courses for those who love to learn.

Like most of our clients, Safe Havens Analysts tend to lead very busy lives. It is fairly typical for an SHI analyst to spend between 100 and 250 days a year on the road with long work hours and work weeks. There have been times that some of our personnel have had to work 11-16 hour days for weeks at a time without a single day off. Two of our analysts have pursued graduate degrees while working long hours as well. At the same time, our personnel try to get into the habit of taking vacations when we find ourselves in areas we have not had the chance to spend leisure time. This helps us to unwind and refresh. Regardless of what you do to serve children and youth, taking some quality time for family and friends is important.
Life is too short and the world is too beautiful to spend it all working. Try to make the time to relax so you can serve others well while taking care of yourself and those you love.
