I was looking to put together some workshops or seminars for my church and I found Workshops very helpful. It's full of Ideas and I especially appreciate the various discussions on adult learning. I highly recommend.

If you deliver or study workshops, you need this book.

For those that deliver or study workshops, this is a must-have book. Drawing from the learning style theory of David Kolb, this guide book will help you to design and deliver workshops that cater to the four different learning styles. The book is packed with activities to help you plan your lessons and hone your teaching style. Don't enter the classroom without it.
