In a previous life I worked for a pharmaceutical and then biotechnology company as a project manager. I then began to write training products for project management. It was a natural extension to produce a project management website.
Once I had done this the next logical step was to create other management training websites.
The information they contain is both useful for business interests and particular lifestyle areas such as leadership and improvements in time management. I try to make information simple to understand with a minimum of jargon.
Here they are in a little more detail.
