I am not so sure about 'heart warming'. This story had me so outraged. My first instinct was to want this man dead. To bring back the death penalty for anyone who rapes a child. Then my dear friend Heather reminded me how that would be an easy way out for such an animal. An animal like this should suffer more. We have all heard how people who hurt children are treated in prison. We can only hope he gets what he deserves.

People Skills More Important Than Technical Skills
I often coach and teach people that your ability to deal effectively with people contributes greater to your success than your technical ability, especially as a leader. This is supported in a recent survey listed in Training Magazine:
When training participants were asked about the types of courses that would greatly increase their effectiveness at work.
1. Leadership skills
2. Dealing with conflict or difficult people
3. Technical knowledge related to my job
