Hi Bob,

Interesting to reflect on reading material. Here's my list:
Off-line:
Harvard Business Review
Training Journal
CIPD Magazine

On-line newsletters/magazines:
Association for Coaching
Co-Active Coaching
Transformational Leader
CIPD

More generally, I read the magazines from both Aberdeen and Edinbugh Chambers of Commerce, several specialist journals and newsletters about learning with horses and also some specialist journals for my research. (I'm doing a PhD at Edinburgh Napier University measuring the impact of horses and humans in terms of learning and wellbeing).

Interested to see what others read.

Kindest regards,
Beth

Wow, Beth

That's quite a list!

My reading list tends to be quite eclectic - and often random.

Offhand, I seem to recall that I subscribe to:

* Organisations and People (published by AMED!)
* People Management
* Writing in Education (published by the National Association of Writers in Education - NAWE)
* The London Review of Books
* The Good Book Guide
* EBSCO Online Research Databases http://www.ebscohost.com/ (for Abstracts and electronic copies of articles) to which I have subscription access through several academic institutuions, and
* The Guardian Weekly.

And, of course, I search library catalogues and scan the Internet avidly using key search words for what I'm currently interested in.

In a less structured or conscious way, I get a lot of my stimulus and ideas from arts, fiction and poetry!

I'd love to read/hear more about your equine/human research. (I was an undergraduate in the Faculty of Arts at Edinburgh University aeons ago!).

Thank you for starting this Forum. Kind regards. Bob
