Humane, Resourced – out on Kindle

I've just had a bizarre experience where Twitter has once again managed to beat other technology to the punch.

Humane, Resourced – on the way!

Kaboom! ! So, I've finally pressed the 'publish' button after a near endless email chain with Hugh at Pressbooks.

Business Sexy

Let's talk about sex. Recently I read a blog by Neil Morrison about making HR sexy (http://change-effect.com/2013/09/29/get-your-sexy-on/).
