Which Coursera courses/specializations will best supplement my learning and/or enhance my value-add potential as a strategy consultant?

For those of you who don’t know, Coursera is an online learning platform with a myriad of classes offered ranging from business to psychology. I’m currently taking the specialization in business strategy offered by UVA, but just wanted to get some input from others on which classes you think would be most useful?

I signed a car lease on 7/15. The car is ready but the dealer is still waiting for the plates to give me the car (in my state, he is not allowed to release the car with temporary plates). My first lease payment is almost due and I didn’t take possession of the car yet. is this normal? what should I do?

This design makes me ridiculously happy. That’s all.
