Higher Education Online

Everyone would have always had the feeling that what they have studied is not sufficient for their career and would be longing to get back to the university and sit in the classroom. It would be very hard to find time and the work pressure will not allow you to take even a part time course. The best way out is to seek an Online University to pursue higher education. Capella University is a premier online university accredited by the The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It provides opportunity for pursuing bachelors masters or Doctorate degrees in various disciplines.

Sara Orem, a faculty member at the Capella Online University's School of Business and Technology has co-authored a book titled ‘Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change’.

Appreciative Coaching guides the reader through four stages namely Discovery, Dream, Design and Destiny to attain the success path. The book will be well suited for managers, management coaches and people who want to empower themselves.
