| "Executing Breakthrough Innovations with the Three Box Solution" |
| "When companies launch Box 3 innovation initiatives, they typically allot most of their time and energy to the thrilling hunt for the breakthrough idea. That much-ballyhooed burst of inspiration is merely a starting point. The real innovation challenge lies beyond the idea. It lies in a long, hard journey—from imagination to impact.In this course, part of the Leading Innovation Professional Certificate program, Vijay Govindarajan (VG) reveals how to execute a Box 3 innovation initiative. The crux of the challenge is that business organizations are not designed for innovation; they are designed for ongoing operations. And there are deep and fundamental conflicts between the two.This course is based on the frameworks and ideas from The Three Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation book. Using three modules, VG shows you how to: Build the right team for your innovation initiative: Determine who will be on the team, how it will be structured, and how it can partner with ongoing operations. Anticipate and prevent conflicts. Run a disciplined experiment: Test assumptions, translate results into new knowledge, and measure progress.

Do you know how to help clients who encounter spiritual and religious distress? Or how to harness clients’ spiritual resources to support positive therapeutic outcomes? If so, this course is for you! Spiritual Competency Training in Mental Health is a program designed to train mental health providers in basic spiritual and religious competencies. Taught by instructors who are experts in the field of religion/spirituality and mental health, this course will equip providers with greater confidence and competence helping clients with religious and spiritual issues. The program focuses on core spiritual competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that underlie effective mental health care and are common to mental health disciplines and therapeutic orientations. Basic competency in spiritual and religious issues in mental health is an ethical requirement for most professional boards and associations related to mental health clinical practice. Yet, few of us received this training in our graduate programs. This program bridges the current training gap. The program consists of eight modules and takes about six to eight hours to complete. The modules consist of engaging learning activities, such as watching brief videos, reading text screens, listening to audio clips, and completing short reflection questions and knowledge check questions. Mental health professionals (MD, PhD, Master’s level, and trainees) of all disciplines are welcome to participate. Therapists who complete the program will be eligible for 6 CE credits."

| "Cómo vivir una vida saludable y activa" |
| "¿Qué es envejecer? ¿Qué es más importante a la hora de envejecer: la herencia o el ambiente? ¿Podemos actuar sobre nuestro propio envejecimiento? ¿Qué tendríamos que hacer para envejecer bien? Estas y otras muchas preguntas serán respondidas al largo de este curso en línea, en el que se pretende transmitir conocimientos actualizados y científicos sobre cómo llegar a una longevidad positiva y saludable, a la vez que motivar a los participantes en la puesta en práctica de una serie de comportamientos y hábitos de vida saludables. Los conocimientos adquiridos no serán suficientes para el cambio hacia un envejecimiento activo; ello dependerá de que cada uno de los participantes incorpore, como hábitos, esos comportamientos saludables y activos que sabemos influyen en un envejecimiento óptimo, lo cual requerirá de una actitud positiva y de la determinación, el querer realizar algunos cambios.En este curso partimos de la consideración de que el envejecimiento no tiene un claro inicio, sino que “vivir es envejecer y envejecer es vivir” y consideramos que a todo lo largo de la vida hay crecimiento, estabilidad y declive. Desde luego, huimos de una visión simplista, exclusivamente positiva, del envejecimiento y dado que la edad está asociada a la enfermedad, la discapacidad y a otros problemas, tratamos de promover ciertas “soluciones” que llevan consigo lo siguiente: optimizar las capacidades físicas, mentales, afectivas y sociales; prevenir potenciales enfermedades y problemas y, en su caso, compensar o paliar existentes déficits.Esas estrategias, soluciones comportamentales y estilos de vida protectores o combativos de factores de riesgo pertenecen a cuatro dominios esenciales: La mejora de la salud y la funcionalidad. Promover el ejercicio físico y cognitivo regular. El mantenimiento y la optimización del afecto positivo y el control. La implicación familiar y social. El curso está dirigido a personas de cualquier edad que estén interesadas en conocer cómo llevar una vida saludable y en envejecer bien. Su superación va a requerir no solo el aprendizaje de conocimientos científicos, sino una implicación personal de los participantes puesto que pretendemos, también, la introducción de cambios en la forma de percibir la vejez y en la incorporación de hábitos saludables que lleven consigo, a largo plazo, el desarrollo personal y la satisfacción con la vida."
