Even company money could be spent more effectively
For any medium to advanced trainer, group leader, or presenter, this book does not raise any new methods of improving audience participation. In fact, the "cheese" factor is enough to choke even the most discriminating mouse.Having said that, if you're a beginner with little to no background in or exposure to group training, then this book may help give you a little head start to realize how to engage an audience through active participation.
It's only because of the potential to aide a beginner that I rated this a 2. Otherwise, it's sitting with a lone star.

Decent
I was expecting more. But it certainly lived up to its title. Maybe my expectations were a little to hight.I have yet to try any of the examples yet, but I am certainly waiting to try.

It's not that great.
This book wasn't that great. There were VERY few ideas that I would use. I wouldn't recommend buying this book. Similar Products
