Defiantly BDD since it's predominately a Business Analyst skill and is 
only indirectly related to automation, cucumber etc
Andrew Premdas on the Cucumber list is an excellent coach, he coached me 
and is available for hire...

...and defiantly GOOS if you can find someone, and if you are that 
someone we're hiring please come work for us :)

TDD
You can start with the XUnit stuff, Kent Beck has a short series of 
screencasts available from Pragmatic Programmer.
...but IHMO it only scales so far
The London School of TDD aka GOOS goes further. It inherits it's ideas 
from Smalltalk and responsibility-driven design. The RDD part is the bit 
our developers seem to find difficult to grasp so the GOOS mailing list 
recommended Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations 
by Rebecca Wirfs-Brock.
