26 June 2012
Allison read Jane Brody’s A Richer Life by Seeing the Glass Half Full from the 5 May 2012 New York Times and was glad a friend sent the blog post her way (the Allison Partners team likes adding to our Happiness Matters resources list).

29 May 2012
Allison read The Art of Client Service because a local advertising, marketing and public relations client wanted to use the book as part of a team workshop.

Robert Solomon’s book is a quick and easy read geared primarily to his industry, but with useful messages for professionals providing service in all walks of life.
