Dr Relly Nadler runs an internet radio show on VoiceAmericaBusiness on which he interviews top names in emotional intelligence and related areas of psychology and leadership development. There are 12 shows archived which can be downloaded as MP3s - but apparently they will be wiped on January 7th.

The interviews are well worth listening to, featuring big names like Richard Boyatzis, Marco Iacoboni (the 'mirror neuron' guy) and Marshall Goldsmith. You can download the interviews from this site: http://tinyurl.com/2rc7sl

In fact we're now set up as one on Facebook.com - here. Yes, I've finally found a platform that is free to join, easy to use, has loads of features, and doesn't offend the eye with horrible design.

You'll have to be a member of Facebook to get into the group, but that's easy and free, and everyone you know will be on it soon because it's so easy to use. As far as I can tell (from having been on Facebook for a couple of weeks) there's no downside - except you might get addicted to it!

Once you're on there, look me up (at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=571702381) and add me as a friend.

Let's get this group up to critical mass as soon as we can! There are some amazing people who turn up to our meetings, and you would like them if you knew them - let's get to know each other online to make it easier to meet up, do business and form friendships in the physical world!

There's been a lot in the press recently about online social networks - so why should we miss out? At the moment it seems like there's a new social networking platform coming out every week. I've been researching some of them with a view to giving our members a way to 'meet up' online as well as at our live meetings.

Imagine how much deeper your interactions with people at our meetings could be if you could get to know them a bit online before you met them in person. Imagine what it could do for your business if you could let people know about it on your profile - which would also of course mean that if someone was looking for a person in your line of work (e.g. looking for an NLP therapist in Bolton or wherever), they could find you!

Expect a big announcement about this in the next couple of weeks...

Bev Holden and her business partner Kate Hargreaves set up the Clear Thinking Partnership in February 2007, specialising in behavioural training and development. As professional trainers, facilitators and coaches, they work with clients across a variety of industry sectors, with individuals and with teams, helping them to get a better return on investment for their training by discovering ways to “make learning stick.”

Having had successful careers in corporate environments where training was given great importance, Bev and Kate realised that there was a need to support businesses with the implementation of learning into the workplace. The Clear Thinking purpose is to create a shift in thinking and behaviour so that the primary intention and desired outcome of training interventions are fully achieved and organisations enjoy the transformation in performance and results they need to maintain competitive advantage.

I was blown away by Marcus' session for us - particularly as I wasn't all that impressed with his session for the Mastery Gym last time I saw him! He really took on board the different focus of our group, and adapted his material to fit our audience (basically to have less rah-rah stuff and more substance).

I will be very happy to recommend Marcus as a speaker to other NLP groups - he clearly knows his stuff and really engaged the group with his energy, humour and passion. Marcus' site is www.investment-mastery.com.
