Impro Learning

Impro Learning - How to make your training creative, flexible and spontaneous

By Paul Z Jackson

Published by Gower

The Inspirational Trainer – the paperback version of Impro Learning – is published by Kogan Page

Impro Learning is the first training book to treat creativity as the doorway to success - and provide the keys to unlock it.

Drawing on sources as diverse as theatre, accelerated learning, sports, co-operative games and psychology, Paul Z Jackson reveals practical methods for enhancing all aspects of training, from joining instructions and bonding to detailed course design and evaluation.

The emphasis throughout is on participation and results, and the text is packed with warm-ups, energizers, team exercises and innovative processes.

This pioneering book will enable you to:

  • Design and deliver training programmes that achieve demonstrable results
  • Improve your skills as both a platform presenter and a group facilitator
  • Apply the principles of learning to broaden the range of training you can offer
  • Enhance your confidence and the ways you project it

In short, Impro Learning offers simple but powerful techniques for developing both yourself - as a trainer and a person - and those you train.
