This book was of my masters program. I decided to use this book for training and purchased the newest edition. The content for in person training is solid. There was no materials for virtual training.

It's a nice resource to give structure for those who have limited training skills and do t have $1000 in their budget to send staff to learn about it.

I skimmed through this book looking for a few features it promised to have. The first page I looked at had 6 noticeable typos/grammatical errors. I'm now very much regretting this purchase. I'm allowing 2 stars because there are certainly aspects of great trainings that are featured in this book and some people don't even have that solid foundation prior to leading formalized training. (Trust me, I've sat through them...yikes.) But, my high hopes for this book are already dashed. Disappointing.

I have been teaching at business schools for over a decade and was looking to also deliver executive trainings - I have always preferred interactive sessions to lectures (first, students fall asleep, and then the lecturer) but was aware that there is a difference between workshops and training. This book helped me understand how to bridge the difference and provide value to demanding executive audiences. Worth the money!

I agree with the remarks from other readers about the grammar and the look and feel. But there is a lot of good content. Some of the online ressources are also good.

I have left the world of teaching children and moved into teaching adults. This book confirmed many techniques are transferable as well as providing lots of things to think about and reflect upon. Scenarios used are relatable and useful. A very worthwhile read.
However… the amount of spelling and punctuation errors are very frustrating and the font used was not very easy on the eyes.
