Colours and Shades

Coloured Package
Another colourful package of resources for you to unwrap again this month.

Some are very practical, others are more philosophical, and one or two are for fun. It's a diverse collection we hope you'll enjoy. :-)

Don't forget to download the pdf, for more good resources as well as the chance to win a prize!

Cheers, Sue & Chris

An Inspiring Collection

In the links to the right, you'll find five online presentations gathered from different sources - our thanks for these go to Gimundo.com, Scott Stratten and Walk The Talk.

'Everything I've wanted to Know' tells us the lessons to be learned from dogs - some of which should make you smile.

'What it Takes to be Number One' features Vince Lombardi in photos, quotes and audio segments.

And if you were asked to pass on to others one thing in life you've learned, what would you say? Find out how others responded to that question in 'What I've Learned'

Finally don't miss Randy Pausch's or Johnny's stories, both of which are truly inspiring. They may also bring a lump to your throat as they did to ours!
