Book Overview

This book explains how movement enhances learning and introduces a unique and highly effective way to energize a team and increase retention through simple body-focused techniques.

Whether your employees are stuck behind a desk or having to sit through another meeting, chances are they are being kept from moving around most of the workday. This is resulting in restless bodies, wavering attention spans, and--based on the latest neuroscience research--decreased learning and productivity. Managers desiring to maximize their employees' productivity and reach new levels of success for the company would be wise to not ignore the innate human desire for motion.

In Training in Motion, learn how to:

Tie lessons to movement in order to reinforce conceptsManage learners' physical and emotional states to increase engagement and bolster memoryUse posture, physical gestures, and other movements to command interestEmploy quick physical breaks to efficiently refocus your teamTurn lackluster meetings into high-achieving learning environments
