Dear Fissure Friends,

Hopefully you are enjoying the heat of the summer and have had a chance to take a vacation (or will soon take one) and relax a little.  All of us need to step back from our daily routine once in a while and unwind.  It took a while, but I am actually able to go on vacation now and not feel bad about just sitting and reading a book.  I actually look forward to it and even read something NOT related to business.  As the wise man said, nobody ever said on their death bed, “I wish I had worked more”.

Our upcoming public workshops are in the left hand panel - our computer simulation based workshops are an effective and fun way to learn AND EARN PDUs. This newsletter includes another great article from one of our team members, John Kaman. John developed and delivers our Project Manager as Coach workshop and in his article talks about two key coaching techniques you can use in helping your people reach a higher level of productivity. Check out what’s happening at Fissure (Fissure News), and don’t forget to read Geof Lory’s regular column on project management and parenting. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day,

Jesse Freese

Fissure, President
