Active Reviewing: A Practical Guide for Trainers and Facilitators

by Roger Greenaway, Bogdan Vaida, Călin Iepure

If you want to help people learn from activities, exercises or experiences, this book is for you. This book fills a gap: it is the gap between doing an activity and learning from it. Plenty of books describe activities that are good for icebreaking, for team-building, for project management or for cross-cultural understanding, etc. A few of these books do give some limited advice about reviewing (or debriefing) the activities, such as: "How do you feel?" or "What have you learned?." But there is so much more that you can do as a facilitator than simply ask questions. This is a rare book for two reasons: It is about reviewing (How many books have you come across on this subject?) It is about reviewing actively.(Which makes it not just rare, but unique.) With the help of this book, you can make reviews at least as engaging as the activities you are reviewing. No more unwanted silences and no more superficial reviews. Just engaging and practical ways to help people learn from experience! How does that sound for a change?

I've spent a lot of time testing the techniques from this book. They are adaptable to any training situation and they really help in the transfer of learning.
