When A Book Becomes A Course

When The Inner Game of Leadership was published in January 2026, I thought the journey was complete. The ideas, principles, and insights that I wanted to share had found their way into a book. Or so I thought.

As people began reading the book, a number of friends suggested the same thing:

You should create an online course based on this.

To be honest, I didn’t take the idea very seriously at first. As the co-founder of Learnnovators, I’ve spent much of my professional life in the learning and development space. So I assumed people were simply connecting the dots and equating everything I did with courses and learning programs.

But then something interesting happened. More readers started making the same suggestion independently — people from different backgrounds, industries, and levels of leadership experience. And that got me thinking.

So I went back and looked at the book again, this time through a different lens. And I began to see what they were seeing.

While the book introduces the ideas and principles behind the Inner Game of Leadership, a course creates an opportunity to work with those ideas in a more structured and immersive way.

That’s when the idea of a course started to make sense.

Over the last few months, I’ve been working on transforming those principles into a comprehensive online learning experience that combines practical exercises, reflection activities, self-assessments, toolkits, and other resources that learners can work through at their own pace.

The book and the course are not the same thing.

The book is designed to introduce the ideas.

The course is designed to help people apply them.

And I’m excited to share that The Inner Game of Leadership course will soon be available on Udemy.

Stay tuned.
