Samenvatting
Anyone who has endured ‘death by PowerPoint’ or suffered a dry ‘chalk and talk’ session will know the importance of getting group sessions and workshops right, but how do you know what to do and what it takes?

It takes you through the early stages of planning and preparation, through to showing you how to build a great session, step-by-step. Group activities, how to use materials and how to be remembered for the right reasons are all covered, along with a brief overview of training theory and learning models.
Whether you are a first time manager, a coach wishing to add workshops to your repertoire or you are simply looking for a way to improve your delivery at meetings, all you need to know and do is here. And not only that – the skills and tools you will learn will enliven interviews, meetings and even parties and weddings!
