Synopsis

From training expert Mel Silberman (the father of the popular and effective active training method) comes Unforgettable Experiential Activities. Mel Silberman's next-step resource is designed for facilitators who want to incorporate Impactful Activities into their trainings. As the author explains, Impactful Activities are at once concrete, dramatic, and unexpected.

Based on best-selling author Mel Silberman's Active Training program, Unforgettable Experiential Activities contains 75 original activities developed and tested during his 40 year career as a training expert. All these dynamic activities have stood the test of time and will help any trainer (novice or well-seasoned professional) engage their learners in active, experiential learning.

As accessible as it is useful, each of the book's activities includes an informative introduction and contains suggestions and techniques for implementing the activities that will ensure success every time. The activities are organized by today's most sought after training topics including leadership and change management, team work and facilitation, creativity, conflict and negotiation, influencing, and communication among others.

Using Mel Silberman's fun, entertaining activities trainers can help their participants develop an understanding of the material presented and have a clearer understanding of how to incorporate the information into their work life.
