What Attendees Say...
"My recent attendance at Clare Mann's ‘Take Back Your Power To Be Heard’
half day workshop was enlightening, challenging and high value. Clare’s style and facilitation brought our group empowerment in our conversations that seemed to be hidden behind our self-consciousness and fear. Most of us, even those with MBA’s couldn’t say they have ever learnt specific one to one communication that will help you listen and be heard. A half day session with Clare could empower you to be heard in ways you had never realised before."

"I contacted Clare due to my appreciation after reading her book "Communicate." From this contact a fruitful relationship has developed. I recently attended her half-day "Take Back The Power to Be Heard" workshop. It was a awakening experience demonstrating the importance of listening and inter-personal skills. Clare was an expert and inspiring trainer and facilitator. Thanks Clare"

Fifty self-reflection exercises to help you understand yourself better and how you can increase choice and mastery in your own life. In doing this, you are more prepared to understand other people’s blind spots and adjust your communication so others become more curious and open-minded about their choices and actions.
Human Resource Development provides the reader with commentary, activities and review sections in an integrated approach. The action-oriented approach is vital for practicing managers but increasingly for postgraduate and final year undergraduates who have work experience. This text reflects organizational realities and balances and integrates the coverage of individuals, teams and organizational learning.The book is written in a straightforward manner and explains concepts and key issues in a lucid style.
