My Secret Weapon, June 26, 2002
Reviewer: Sandi Wilburn (Garden City, MI USA)
When my boss came to me and awarded me the mantle of "trainer" for a huge project rollout at our site, I nearly panicked! I'd never done anything like this before, and I hadn't spoken in front of a group in years. This book saved my life! It is wonderfully and empathetically written, and it was easy for me to absorb the trainers' collective years of experience. As a result, I gained the confidence I needed. My class feedback has been terrific; some people saying it's one of the best classes they've ever had. I used the book's suggestions every step of the way and I now recommend it to everyone who has any kind of training or presentation on the horizon.
Update: July 03: Over a year later, this book CONTINUES to inspire me. I've found I truly love training, and even though it's not my main job function, my feedback has been so good, I am now being sent around the world to conduct training! I'm even going to conduct a train-the-trainer class, and I'm using this book as my textbook. One of the things that really stands out to me in this book is the friendly style of the authors. They WANT to teach you, WANT you to be successful...I've adopted their style in the classroom with great results. Buy this book and you won't be sorry!
