HAPPY NEW YEAR
HAPPY NEW YEAR
January is the most intriguing month of the year. It has an air of mystery with a hint of experience lingering in the background. It is the month that begins with the New Year’s Eve echo of Auld Lang Syne, a salute to the past and reflections on days gone by. But like a phoenix January rises ripe with resolutions, fresh ideas and plans for renewal. In keeping with the fiercely motivating power of January APLS Group is ready to unveil our plans for an exciting 2012.
APLS Group is proud to announce that Nanci Appleman-Vassil, CLO and Founder of APLS Group, has been awarded membership into NTL Institute for Applied Behavioral Science. The not-for-profit membership organization has been in the forefront of working with adult learners since the 1940’s and continues today educating adults about the influence human behavior has on diversity, international relations, social justice, organizations, leadership, systems and groups. Nanci will use her expertise from her work at APLS Group to extend the influence of applied behavioral science in promoting better communication and understanding between people in business and interpersonal situations.
Nanci’s Notions enlisted help to keep her blog on the right track. This year Coach Nanci arrives on the scene with tips for better business practices. She will be blogging twice a month on issues in one of four major topics. The topics will be featured quarterly as follows:
• Education
• Communication
• Teams
• Leadership
We are grateful for your support of Nanci’s Notions. This year we plan to be more interactive by answering comments online and providing specific resources to help our readers delve further into the blog topics. The APLS Online Store is building inventory daily. The online store features products that are easily accessible to readers, trainers and consultants.
APLS Group is developing a new division devoted to education. Training and education are often viewed as synonymous but each is actually an independent entity. APLS Group will continue to provide training services to organizations. The education sector will concentrate on post high school and career development with an emphasis on students (16 -25 years old). APLS Group is meeting with teachers, counselors and interest groups that work with young people to design effective, results-oriented programming for post high school education.
Coach Nanci is overseeing the content for the book 18 Common Mistakes that Small Business Owners Make. She has ideas for every page but we have had to curb her enthusiasm. APLS Group will release the long awaited book in 2012. Be sure to look for Coach Nanci at a book signing near you.
Happy New Year! Read the blog in Nanci’s Notions on January 9th.
