"The Icebreakers Pocketbook" is for those people who train others. It contains over 40 original activities - so-called icebreakers and scene- setters - that will enable trainers to add impact to their training workshops. The activities are grouped together according to their suitability for particular areas of training - for example: assertiveness, communication, coaching and mentoring, people management, teams and trainer training. For each activity the authors describe the aims, outcomes and relevance of the learning, and provide full user instructions along with information on timing, number of participants, materials required, necessary trainer knowledge and possible variations. Most of the activities take between 10 and 30 minutes to complete. There are those suitable for small groups and those appropriate for any number of people. Illustrated throughout, "The Icebreakers Pocketbook" is a practical, easy-to-use resource that should add impact and originality to a training event, encourage participant inclusion, aid the learning process and reduce the time needed to prepare for training. The "Pocketbook Series" comprises more than 60 titles in the areas of training, personal development, management, customer care, sales and marketing and finance.
