In order for a training session to be effective, however, the trainer must develop a course of action that will engage the group and hold their interest. Leigh breaks down each stage of designing and developing a successful training course and all the skills essential to effective group training, with concise chapter summaries and trainer's tips to reinforce each concept.

In "The Group Trainer's Handbook: Designing and Delivering Training for Groups" Leigh breaks down each stage of designing and developing a successful training course and all the skills essential to effective group training, with concise chapter summaries and trainer’s tips to reinforce each concept.
This is a really practical source of advice for new, or more experienced, trainers. If you have never trained before then you will probably want to read it from cover to cover. If you have designed and run a number of training sessions, then it is more of a dip in to guide. The section on "difficult behaviors" is an excellent resource.
There are plenty of titles around on the theory of the training cycle. This isn't one of them. It gives sound, hard-earned, practical tips that work. Dip into it when you need it, rather than read it cover to cover. There's a particular focus on skills involved in the delivery of training, with ideas on topics like building rapport, voice projection, handling stress and giving and receiving feedback.
