following resources will advance
Any particular reason why you specified e-based or short-term seminars? I personally see more value in a long-term progam where you actually have time to analyze and develop a good personal philosophy of leadership and management. That tends to not happen with the short-term programs.
The following resources will advance a leader or manager in conscious business practices, allowing for leadership which is multi-faceted, inspirational and life-changing.
At the beginning of June, the Center for Servant Leadership will have their annual Conference, there will be a day of workshops and 2 days of Networking and lectures.

A look at what national, low-priced career development and management training programs really have to offer
LOOKING FOR A TRAINING program to help build assertiveness? Or one that will give your receptionist an "ah-ha" experience that will result in better customer service? Then read on. These training programs are designed to give you the results you want at a price you can afford. To develop this list, BLACK ENTERPRISE contracted one of the nation's leading African-American management training consultants to canvass the offerings of the top low-cost training and development programs. What we found was a variety of offerings for one-day workshops and seminars, starting as low as $49. Programs offered by the American Management Association, Toastmasters or Dale Carnegie were not reviewed because they cost more and the sessions usually run at least three days.
One-day, low-cost seminars, with their "hit them hard and leave them wanting more" approach, are designed to empower employees by providing them with solid skills and career enhancement advice. A good instructor can help you identify and even modify unproductive behaviors in just one day. The benefit of these inexpensive programs is obvious: a low-cost outlay with a high return on investment.
The challenge in sending employees to a one-day public seminar is following up on what they've learned. Managers must be aware that with little or no back-on-the-job coaching, a one-day seminar is like a hot shower; it won't be long until you need another one.
Seminar trainers are chosen for their ability to connect quickly with the audience, make entertaining presentations and leave you wanting more, which you can have by buying the books or tapes in the back of the room. Trainers are usually seasoned professionals contracted to do a set number of classes per year. Unfortunately, few programs would say what percentage of their trainers are African-American. However, most of the companies we surveyed do employ or contract minorities.
