Last week I received the news that my promotion has gone through. I'm excited to have new challenges, delighted that I received what I wanted without having to argue for it, and nervous because now I have to be responsible for things I've not done in an official capacity before. And this is where I turn to the Internet for help. I've got good, or at least very decent, people skills. I'm a great listener and I really do care and want the people who will be answering to me to be happy, or at least as happy as possible, with their jobs.And I know that eventually I will feel confident in my abilities as a manager. However, since I've never been trained for this position I feel the need to get up to speed. My company will be providing me with some professional development classes. But I have no idea when those will start, what they will entail,or how helpful I will find them.

So if any of y'all out there have found a book that you've liked, or a website that you've gained knowledge from, or even a lesson that you've learned and would like to share, I'm all ears. Or eyes, I guess.
