A book and online course for geeks and other people generally less emotionally aware and skilled (like myself growing up) on how to develop emotional awareness, empathy, compassion, understanding and other skills schools rarely teach.
Also a project-based course on entrepreneurship to teach in the fall.
Also a seminar on leadership for General Assembly in New York for later this month.
Why are those things cool?
Because when I started my first company I had plenty of skills with science, technology, and knowledge and facts. I didn't know how to build relationships, work with teams, motivate people, and other business and personal skills I've come to find more important for business and other relationships.
I find very few places teach this stuff effectively. For that matter, few people think it can be taught or learned. Meanwhile people without these skills get promoted to positions where they'd help. Instead the run their organizations into the ground, destroy morale, and things like that.
I'm going to change that.
