Avish Parashar, a friend of mine, is starting a new business venture. It's a consulting and training company which is directed at teaching technical people non-technical skills. You know, those elusive "soft skills" you hear about from time to time.

I recommend Avish and his training in the strongest terms possible. I've worked with him in this capacity for eight years getting guidance on courage, creativity, communication, and influence along the way. I have definitely enjoyed the fruits of applying his philosophy and techniques to my regular working life.

Anyway, check out his site, simpleITSuccess.com, and if you are even considering it, drop him a line. You won't regret it.
