Soft skills training for IT experts & engineers

In an article on learning styles, posted on the British Computer Society's website, Salama Shah, Director of Beyond, made an excellent observation:

“Industries such as IT and engineering are beginning to understand the benefits of personal development courses alongside upgrading technical skills. The performance levels of a self-aware, communicative, emotionally intelligent and a positive team are far greater than a group of technically brilliant, yet socially challenged, individuals”.
Salma Shah, Director of Beyond

Do you agree with Salama?

How to resolve your Financial and Accounting puzzles in 2009 -for owners and managers of small businesses

After a busy start to business in 2009, I am collaborating with a finance expert to develop a new course on understanding finance, accounting and budgeting for small business owners.

This course is our response to concerns shared by some business owners as they position their business to survive and prepare for growth during the global economic downturn. These owners feel that they need to increase their understanding instead of continuing their over reliance on their book keepers and accountants to tell them what's happening in their business. A few felt they were fortunate to have accountants who provided them with business advice on planned expansions, however, these owners feel they need to become more informed and feel comfortable asking meaningful, well-informed questions about financial information on their business.

Please email me with those financial and accounting terms that confuse you and you would like to know more about. Email: vb@executive-solutions.co.uk, with Finance and Accounting puzzles in the subject line.

Have an enjoyable week!
Veronica
