   has  formally  expanded  its operations into the Gulf and Middle Eastern
   region  through  new  distributorship  operations  in  the  United  Arab
   Emirates (UAE), Kuwait and the South East Mediterranean.

   Melchior  comments;  "We  are establishing this local office at just the

   realize  they  need  more  than  product  and  service  quality alone to
   differentiate  themselves.”  Melchior  continues;  “We  are committed to
   helping  local  and  international clients strategically implement Human
   Performance  in  order  to  achieve their business goals in this rapidly
   growing market.”

   resources.  Her  educational  achievements  include a PhD in Work Values
   from the School of Business & Banking studies – University of Wales, UK.
   She also holds an MBA in Marketing & Human Resources.

   Wilson   Learning  -  one  of  the  most  successful  human  performance
   improvement  providers  in  the world - is the most valuable resource we
