Coaching to connect

I wanted to plug my friend Sue Glasser’s upcoming workshop, Coaching to Connect. It’s in London on November 18th. Sue has done pretty much a lifetime of work exploring how we humans connect and mis-connect with each other. With her background in dancing and choreography she also gets the ways in which unspoken but very real physical behaviours affect working relationships.

I’m going to be staggering through Heathrow that day but for anyone else, I think you’ll find Sue’s approach distinctive and very engaging.
