24th April 2009
When we launched the site last yesterday, we added some new material: 1.) “Everybody Wins – through collaborative negotiation” – the first in a series of programmes on business communications, sponsored by founder member Perceptions Coaching – www.perceptionscoaching.co.uk – and featuring Perceptions’ Principal, Damian Culhane. Over the next couple of months you’ll also be able to hear programmes covering consultative selling and advanced progressive communication techniques. In this programme, I talk to Ardell Fleeson, an associate of the Community who speaks around the world on networking. In the second part, which will be available soon, Ardell and I are joined by one of her colleagues at US-based commercial real estate company CB Richard Ellis, Chris Tollast (a Brit) and Mark Amtower, author and expert on marketing to the US Federal Government (and proudly half-British!). Both programmes were huge fun to record –I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the interviews!
