However, I do spend thousands of dollars per year on leveling up.<\/p>\n<p>I want to share the best investments I&#8217;ve made toward my growth. Maybe it can help you too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/altmba.com\/\"><strong>AltMBA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AltMBA is a business leadership course at the speed of light.<\/p>\n<p>This 4-week course was one of the hardest things I&#8217;ve done. From reading about ten books the two weeks leading up to the class to doing real work 5-6 hours per day (on top of my day job).<\/p>\n<p>This course stretched me and gave me additional mental models and ways of approaching problems.<\/p>\n<p>I have sent and will continue to send my employees to this course when I expect them to fill (now or later) a leadership position.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/akimbo.com\/thestoryskillsworkshop\"><strong>Story Skills Workshop<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Storytelling is critical for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a retail worker or the CEO of a trillion-dollar company, being able to tell stories effectively is critical to getting other people to buy into you, your promotion, your job, your products, your ambitions, and your vision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingasecondbrain.com\/\"><strong>Building a Second Brain<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A powerhouse course for any knowledge worker.<\/p>\n<p>For most of my professional life, the way I capture, organize, and distill my knowledge has been a hot mess. I&#8217;ve dabbled in it all, from getting things done (GTD) to Zettlekasten. Build a Second Brain is a masterclass in developing a note-taking system that feels more like creating a Google Search for your precise brain. I captured a significant return on investment within a couple of weeks of starting the course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Note on Cohort Based Courses<\/strong> (CBCs)<\/p>\n<p>I find cohort-based courses (CBCs) are my preferred way of learning because of the people. You benefit from not just the material but from your classmates. I&#8217;ve made countless friends and professional contacts through these courses, which has been pure gold.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/en-us\/2022\/04\/05\/leveling-up-check-out-these-programs\/\" target=\"bwo\" >http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/sophos\/dgdY<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_708347185.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Credit to Author: stephenlawton| Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2022 14:51:23 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn about the three cohort-based courses that have given me the biggest bang for my buck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[10378,10377],"tags":[24562,8573,25174],"class_list":["post-18677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-security","category-sophos","tag-products-services","tag-training","tag-training-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18677\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
