Welcome to the Tero Monthly eZine
The unveiling of the new Tero eZine format this month is something we cannot wait to share with you! Since November 2007 we have published a monthly electronic eZine for our readership. Prior to that, since 1996, a quarterly newsletter was published. The eZine and the many articles and tips it has provided over the years continue to be something readers comment on and thank us for. It is with pride and sincere pleasure that this edition introduces our new “look”, that corresponds with the exciting and inspiring changes to our web and social media sites.
Our theme this month is defining and redefining you. We focus on the steps you can take to polish your presence, persona and the perceptions others form of you. We are presenting this theme in our new eZine format, with the hope that you will take notice, not only of the many ideas and tips but of the polishing and redefining we have done in how we deliver relevant interpersonal skills research to you.
