[ LETTER S H E LBY M U R P H FROM THE EDITOR ] Y WELCOME TO THE ERA OF OPPORTUNITY! You, the professional trainer, are in the right place at the right [ED I time. While the rest of the country is bemoaning an economic slow-down, our industry is positioned for decades of continued growth.

Testament to that fact is Phil Kaplan’s piece this month that outlines just a few of the many industry leaders, myself included, who are actively looking for apprentices and growth-focused trainers to lead their teams. Talented and ambitious trainers can truly write their own ticket. Just send a resumé and career objective to shelby.m@rbpub.com, and I’ll forward them to any or all of the pros mentioned in the article.
