Impro Learning claims to be the first training book to treat creativity as the doorway to success and provide the keys to unlock it. Drawing on sources as diverse as theatre, accelerated learning, sports, co-operative games and psychology, the author reveals practical methods for enhancing all aspects of training, from joining instructions and bonding to detailed course design and evaluation. The emphasis throughout is on participation and results, and the text is packed with warm-ups, energizers, team exercises and innovative processes. As Peter Kline says in the foreword, "what Paul Jackson has to offer us is probably the most essential and basic ingredient of the new approach to corporate training that is beginning to emerge all over the world".
The book offers simple yet powerful techniques for developing yourself as a trainer and a person and those you train.
