Welcome to Learning Conversations’ 51^st Newsletter! Since we started our business five years ago we’ve been putting together our Newsletter every 4-6 weeks – with a bit longer gap over the Christmas/New Year season. We have over 300 direct subscribers and know that many of these send it on to other people in their organisation. Like they say in other promos (!!) we’re pleased that you like it, and are always happy to receive your comments (good or bad).

We do hope you’re off to a good start this year - though it’s hard to be positive when the world economy is so dire, the Australian economy continues to teeter on the brink (of we know not what) and we are faced with the shocking images and reports of the disastrous bushfire in the east, while we in the west hope desperately that they won’t be repeated here.
