These cognitive abilities and technical skills are important for schooling and professional qualifications. For instance, someone requires an IQ of at least 110-120 to get an advanced degree such as an MBA.
But then what differentiates, say, one solicitor from another? Why are some people better at sales, communicating or leading others? The answer may well...

In my entire career, I have never once heard a successful person say he or she regretted putting time and energy into building their relationships and contact management system (CMS). That’s why my interest was piqued when I recently saw a blog by my close friend Brandon Steiner, CEO and founder of Steiner Sports in New York.

Please please can someone help Keats? We have 3 weeks to decide on his future.
Keats was originally brought to us last October. He has lived outside all his life and was being fed by an elderly lady.
