"Many of the articles on the 'Management for the rest of us' site are wonderfully useful and applicable even for those of us who are not employed as managers. I very much enjoyed looking at the site!"

"I've used your handout '7 tips for receiving feedback gracefully' within several training sessions and the response has been excellent. People appreciate that you acknowledge the difficulties and identify the holes we can all fall into, e.g. ruminating over feedback or re-enacting the discussion with friends. We have had some great discussions which have led to some people gaining real insight into their reactions and responses to feedback. Great stuff."
Beth Cumming. Freelance Trainer, Edinburgh, UK
