Mini-Lessons With Great Content, From Great Experts

  If you've got a short attention span, or want "just the facts" about a particular topic in about five minutes, I found – and subscribe to – a resource called Athena Online.

According to their own description, "Athena's SmartBytes™ provide a quick overview of subjects through online video, animation, and supporting material. Advice is presented by such leading-edge thinkers as Drs. Homa Bahrami, Judith Bardwick, Marshall Goldsmith, Mitchell Marks, Larraine Segil, Al Vicere, and many others. Topics range from coaching and feedback skills to merger and acquisition issues."

This is a great resource for sampling content for some "big names" and learning whether you want to explore more deeply either a particular expert or a particular subject.
