Presentation Slides.
These are not yet on the new site, but please use the link above to contact us and we will hunt them down and get them to you!

Handouts

These are PDF formatted documents that will download to your computer. (If clicking on these links does not automatically download the documents, right-click (PC users) or control-click (Mac users) on the selection and there should be an option to save to your computer.

Handout: The overview of four opportunities to impact learners.

PCD Form: Plan, Craft & Deliver a better presentation with this guide.

Presenter Evaluation: Ask a colleague to observe your next presentation.

Metaphors: List we used in metaphor brainstorming activity.


Goodies

iStockPhoto Website. This is my source for quality, inexpensive images for presentation slides.

TrainersWarehouse.com is a great source of teaching tools.

I often rave about Seth Godin. Every trainer should download his free book on PowerPoint Design.

Group Breakout Labels.
These labels allow you to break an audience into smaller groups and then move them into different groups so that each participant will eventually be in a small group with every other participant exactly once. These .pdf files (you will need Adobe Reader to open them) are formatted for Avery Stardard Address Labels 5260 (1" x 2 5/8", 30 labels on a page).

Click on the number of groups you would like to have:

4 Groups (up to 16 participants)
5 Groups (17-30 participants)
7 Groups (31-50 participants)
8 Groups (40-55 participants)
9 Groups (45-60 participants)
11 Groups (55-75 participants)
13 Groups (65-90 participants)
17 Groups (85-120 participants)

Someone recently asked me for help breaking down larger groups, and I am happy to share these too. These use the smaller Avery Return Address Labels 5267 (1/2" x 1 3/4", 80 labels on a page).

31 Groups (155 - 248 participants)
37 Groups (185 - 296 participants)

If you need other group sizes, please email me.

READ:
Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die
by Sr, Karol Jackowski (Hyperion: NY) Originally a lecture by the Dean of Students at St. Mary’s College, this delightful and quick read has suggestions ranging from “Make Yourself Interesting,” to “Find a Place to Escape Reality” and while the list is fun, the stories are powerful. I scribbled on my copy, “This may be the most sacred book I have ever read.”
