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.
