"It is better to be a young June-bug than an old bird of paradise"
- Mark Twain

Can't post a yearly review that includes literary quotes without including the old wordsmith from across the pond can we? Of course not. June was a month that included the World Cup, post-event reviews from TrainingZone LIVE, more comment on social media and several other pieces that were public sector-related. Our three featured articles are this from Jeff Toms about how the ash cloud has kick started remote training, this piece on coaching conversations that features my favourite acronym of recent timers for its flash gordon-like inspiration, and this piece on sleep deprivation, a state of mind that for non-work reasons I can definitely identify with at the moment. And may well blog about at some point.

Here's to summer 2011.
