Building Positive Participation

This is a collection of more than 40 tried-and-true training activities that help trainers build energy in their classroom. The exercises are divided into two areas: building rapport (between trainer and trainees, and within the group); and building enthusiastic participation in the training. Trainers are always in need of ready-to-go activities - and the ones in this book are particularly good. Most training helps employees when they get back on the job - this book helps the trainers themselves to create a better training environment with easy-to-use matrices which help trainers select exercise(s) to accompnish their goals. Each activity has clear, step-by-step instructions that cover: purpose of the activity; the situation the activity addresses; materials needed; timing; set up; what the group goes; troubleshooting; and successful outcomes to expect.
