As mentioned in News Notes 11/11/11, http://mulibraries.missouri.edu/newsnotes/?p=4129, SDC is sponsoring a two-part training series on group process methods. Part II begins Jan. 5 and will be conducted by Phil Shearrer, Debono Thinking Tools TM Consultant. Phil also works as a Leadership Development Specialist at MU’s Women and Children’s Hospital.
