Shirley Says E-Newsletter Issue 57
December 2007

Dear Reader,

I announced last month that 2008 will be taking me and my business in a new direction. Now I'm pleased to give you more details. The brand new website of ST Training Solutions is launched TODAY! Please check it out at www.shirleytaylortraining.com.

My web designer and I have been working hard on this over the last few weeks, and I'm very pleased with the result.
I hope you will let me have your feedback too. I'd love to know what you think.

It's actually doubly exciting for me because I can also let you know that ASSAP 2008 is launched TODAY!! That means another brand new website for you to check out! I'm excited about it, and I think you'll be able to see why!

You can visit the new ASSAP website here.

I'm looking forward to turning the corner and welcoming in the new year of 2008. I know it's going to be a big challenge for me as I take on a more active role as an event organiser as well as keeping up my training, but it's a role I am very much looking forward to.

I hope your festive season is joyful, and let's hope we can all look forward to a healthy, bright and challenging new year! See you in 2008!

Shirley :-)
PS: Last but not least, I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Hanin, my very talented web designer. Hanin you are a true star! Thanks to you and CS for all your talent and hard work!

    January HR Training Forum

    Are you in HR or Training? If not, please forward this message to your HR/Training Manager so they can learn about this Training Forum taking place in January.

    ST Training Solutions is holding its inaugural Training Forum on 28 January 2008. Do sign up early because seats are limited, and I'm sure you won't want to miss this great opportunity to network with your peers in HR/Training and meet some old friends as well as make some new ones. You'll be able to have some light snacks and refreshments, meet some key people in HR and Training, and I'm sure you will agree that it will be a really great afternoon of sharing and learning!

    I'm delighted to say that Rebecca Morgan will be making a special keynote presentation at this Training Forum. Rebecca's unique solutions have made her in demand working with top companies to help improve their people's productivity. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn from one of the best people-development experts making a rare visit to Singapore.

    As well as Rebecca, you will also have the opportunity to meet some of my principal training associates, including Brenda Bence, Alison Lester, Heather Hansen, Ricky Lien and Al Argo. We will all be making up a panel of experts, and we will answer your questions in an Open Forum session.
