In this Issue:

1)News
2)Free offers
3)Coming Soon

1) News

We are continuing to expand the content at The Small Business Resource
Center, which is our website that complements our new book, Perfect
Phrases For Managing Your Small Business. The book, published by
McGraw-Hill should be available before the end of the year. We don't
have a firm release date. Visit the site if you are involved in,
manage, want to own, or own a small business, at:

http://smallbusiness411.org

Free Stuff: While more and more material on the web is behind
registration walls, or requires paying high fees, we're hunting around
for free material for you that you can use in professional and job
development, just for fun, and for other learning purposes. This month
we have some interesting stuff. One's from us, and there are several
from other organizations.

2)Free Offers

A) Free Audio Version of Using Your Head To Manage Conflict Helpcard.

We have a helpcard in print that outlines the different ways of
choosing to manage conflict, and the advantages and disadvantages of
each approach. We've also been experimenting with multimedia on our
sites, so we decided to offer you a FREE AUDIO version of the card.
The catch is that the audiio is computer generated so it's a bit
stilted, but the content is all there. The reading is about 11 minutes
long, and all you have to do is navigate over to:

http://conflict911.com/conflict-help/conflicthead.htm

You'll see the player, and you may have to click on it to start the
presentation. We will be expanding our free audio programs in the
future, but right now we are offering this to our subscribers before
telling anyone else about it. Just an advantage of being a subscriber
to this newsletter.

B) Free Short Audio - Presentation Tips -

LearningOutLoud is a great source for purchasing audio material, but
it also offers a large amount of free stuff.

Extra Tips for the Confident Public Speaking is a high quality audio
production (there's other freebies that are videos) with a number of
tips for public speakers. The production values are excellent. You may
have to register to access any of their free stuff, but it's probably
worth it. We downloaded this item and were quite impressed with the
quality. The link is:

C) Even More Free Offerings

If you are not visiting the Tradepub organization site, you are
missing out on some great opportunities to learn. New magazines,
professional papers and white papers, webinars and other learning
resources are made available free of charge. They change often, so
it's worth visiting at least once a week. If you want to pop in
regularly, go to:

http://workhelp.tradepub.com

Do it when you have time to BROWSE, since there are literally over 600
offers.

So, what's in our spotlight this time?

We still think that the issue of developing plans and then
IMPLEMENTING them is a key issue on both a personal and business or
organizational level. So, once again, we feature:

The Alignment-Focused Organization: Bridging the Gap Between Strategy
and Execution addresses the issues that impede the execution and
application of strategy and planning. http://workhelp.tradepub.com/c/pubRD.mpl?sr=oc&_t=oc:&pc=w_sapx86

In case you missed this, get it NOW before it expires:

ENGAGING WITH THE NEW ELEARNING is a paper from Adobe of interest to
anyone involved in developing or working with elearning on the
delivery side. It focuses on techniques to make elearning interesting
and engaging, and to increase the number of people who actually finish
elearning based courses.

3) Coming Soon

With the current financial situation, more and more people are facing
a greater probability that they will be downsized or otherwise lose
their jobs. We are indeed in an unstable time. Bacal & Associates has
produced a helpcard called Layoff Proofing While You Still Have A Job,
intended for people who may lose their jobs in the future (and who
isn't vulnerable these days).

You can order it if you like, or get more information at:

http://work911.com/products/i-clayoff.htm

However, we WILL be making this available free of charge in computer
generated audio format. We hope to have this for you and announce it
in the next issue of this newsletter.

We are also planning on releasing book chapters from Conflict
Prevention In The Workplace and Defusing Hostile Customers Workbook.

As a newsletter subscriber, we'll let you know first when these are
available. We may release these on a time limited basis ONLY to
subscribers.

Stay tuned!

That's it for now. It's a busy time. More articles next time, we hope.
