HOW to develop inter-personal skills will be the subject of a training event organised by the York branch of the Business and Professional Women's Association at the Bishop's Hotel, York on Saturday, April 28, and May 19.

Both morning events, titled Fruitful Rapport, will be led by personal development specialist Neil Stoner and will be open to non-members of BPW as well as members.

Jean Todd, BPW training co-ordinator, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for very busy people to take time out and learn about new ways to develop their personal effectiveness."
