    "How to Think Strategically" by Daniel Shapero offers a concise and highly practical overview of what it truly means to think like a strategist in today’s fast-moving business environment. As someone who regularly builds partnerships, designs campaigns, and makes high-stakes decisions with limited resources, I found this course incredibly relevant. Shapero’s approach avoids vague buzzwords and instead focuses on real-world decision-making, helping you understand where to focus, what to ignore, and how to create leverage. His examples are relatable, and the framework he presents can be applied immediately to business planning, client engagement, or even long-term visioning. A great first course if you're starting your strategic thinking journey — or a helpful refresher if you're already in the field.
