Julie Cooper

I am a trainer, coach and author specialising in one to one skills. I understand that busy people want accessible, practical information. They rarely have time or inclination to read complicated tomes, which is why my books are packed with instantly usable techniques and tips.

My company, Spring Development,offers training and development to organisations and individuals that want to flourish and get the best out of their working lives.

I recently moved to Banbury in Oxfordshire after many years in The Fens, working in and around Cambridgeshire. Outside of work, I enjoy looking after my newly inherited amazingly beautiful garden, exploring The Cotswolds, and seeking out live music, arts and crafts.

My fourth book was written for at busy managers who need to know how to handle all types of people issues fast. "Face to Face in the Workplace: A Handbook of Strategies for Effective Discussions" was published in September 2012.
