I was at an event given by the founder, Nicki Keohohou a few months ago and they have some great supplements to the original material as well. I spoke with her via e-mail recently and she was very excited about the opportunity to work with PC Consultants throuhgout the US, so if your Director would like to try to schedule something with her as a speaker, tell Nicki I sent you (It's Janice Wisneski from Indiana).
Also, Jeffery Gittomer has a nice little set of "Little...." books that give great info in small snipets. It's nice to pick up and put down if you only have a few minutes here and there.
Those are my favorites! Hope it helps!

It's a great book. I took notes, and try to review them and implement a new idea periodically.
