TOOL OF THE MONTH

WOWerPoint 

relax and engage participants at the start of a session! 
 
This collection of over 400
WOWer Point slides is the perfect "welcome" for a new group of learners.

Set up in ready-to-roll Powerpoint slide shows, simply select the "show" you want -- motivational sayings, quotes, or trivia -- and give folks something to think about and discuss as they enter your learning center. It's a great way to relax newcomers and establish a playful, yet professional learning environment.

WOWerPoint Pre-show Slides
$39.95
 
 TIP OF THE MONTH
Gold Star 
 
encourage learners to 
repeat "gold star" efforts
 
 
When you recognize "gold star" participants, encourage them to commemorate their success by writing their accomplishment directly on the star with a ballpoint pen.

That increases the odds they'll actually repeat the accomplishment again and again!

"Taking risks is a part of life," says Sam Sikes, an experiential trainer and developer of training games. Sikes explains, it is also a part of training. Trainers and participants experience risk too--but sometimes not enough.

In his article, Risk Taking in the Classroom, we learn how to take away some of our safety nets and introduce experiences with unpredictable and uncertain outcomes.  The result: dynamic learning that keeps us on our toes and makes the learning come alive.

 
Sam trains, facilitates, and speaks in a variety of corporate and educational settings including Fortune 500 companies, small businesses and universities. Best known for his creativity, Sikes develops related indoor and outdoor training activities for adults. He is active in organizations such as the Association for Experiential Education and the American Society for Training and Development.
