After a brief hiatus, the K Kast is back. This week we expand on my story that looked at why some of Washington’s top recruits have decided to spurn the Huskies and leave the state.
We also discuss the maturity of this year’s Blue Chip prospects and the immaturity of the anonymous people who disparage these teenagers on message boards and in the comments sections of stories and blog posts.
We also talk about the Husky hoops team and the NFL.
This image, which appeared in the November 1974 Training and Development Journal, illustrates the three factors that affect sales calls. While so many training programs spend most of the time on the content of the call, this image illustrates the need to also concentrate on interpersonal relations and communications skills.
Does your training programs concentrate too much on the message or product information instead of interpersonal communication skills?

Barclays funding will help parents set up schools under Michael Gove’s flagship policy. Oli Scarff/Getty Images
Since the coalition came to power, parents, charities and businesses have been allowed to establish their own “free schools”. The schools are state-funded and are accountable to the education secretary, rather than their local authority. Critics claim that in some areas where there is little need for them they take pupils and funds from existing schools.
Barclays said groups awarded money would not have to pay any of it back. The high street bank said it recognised that the process of setting up a new school was costly and hoped parents would use the funds to conduct research on whether their new free school would be viable.
The money is likely to be awarded in £5,000 grants and will be allocated over the next three years.
Barclays also announced that it would give free financial advice to academies and free schools and that it would be offering 3,000 teenagers from free schools and academies work experience of up to three weeks in its 1,600 branches across the country.
The bank said it had a separate work experience scheme for pupils in other state-funded schools.
Antony Jenkins, chief executive of Barclays retail and business banking, said the bank was “beginning to address a real problem in society” of lack of opportunity.
