Motivational Training Class - Recommended by Nick Norman

Howdee Everyone,

Check out the opportunity below for a free workshop on "Motivational Interviewing ".
I took one of these last year and found it useful.  Loosely speaking, the subject is about how to communicate with some one in a way that will motivate them to do something you want or need them to do.  (Ever been in that situation?)

Its free so why not attend.  I plan to be there because good communication skills are so critical to every thing in life.

Love & Light,
Nick Norman
