Do It Yourself Training & Coaching - Request for Ideas

Good Morning Enlightened Managers!

It's hard to believe it's almost Halloween already.  The leaves are falling, the wind is blowing, and we're enjoying that characteristic Seattle rain.  I'm still getting settled after our move from Woodinville to Seattle, but so far I love being downtown.  I attended a great business meeting yesterday on using video for training and development, and it was a ten minute walk instead of a one hour drive.  Heavenly!

One of the concequences of being in crazy-moving-land has been the delay of my new website launch - but I'm almost there.  One of the things I'll be launching is a set of downloadable products, and that is where I'm hoping you might be able to offer me some advice.  When it comes to "do it yourself" training or coaching tools - what would you find the most helpful?  When you can't afford to hire a trainer or consultant - what kind of resources would help you make progress on your own?

Here are some examples of what is already on my list:

* "Management 101" eBook
* Anger Management Coaching Guide
* Do it Yourself Teambuilding Pack
* Coaching Tip Cards
* Coaching Starter Kit

What else would be useful to you?  As an incentive, I'll send a free copy of the eBook "Advice for New Managers" to the first 5 commenters who make a suggestion within the next 10 days.

Thanks.  Normally I like to offer YOU something useful to read, but I'm hoping you can return the favor this week. :)  Go out and have a great day.

One area that I have been struggling with is dispersing the load of important work between qualified individuals. I've long subscribed to the adage "if you want something done right, do it yourself"; this can be inefficient, and troublesome in the face of much larger responsibilities.

Just an idea!
