Cindy compiles a regular ezine with links and articles on consulting and managing more effectively. Read this month's ezine, and other recent examples here.

Improve your skills with a course in mind reading, influence, persuasion and questioning. Try the NLP corporate program - 5 days in January 2008. Or a workshop using theatrical improvising or story telling to hone your "soft" skills (listening, building on ideas, letting others get creative, going with the flow, being present).
