event.
Master trainer Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan and co-author
Tracy Tagliati introduce a brand-new set of powerful training
activities specially designed to get participants to sit-up,
listen, and learn--to jolt them into a new level of
participation, activity, and change.
The forty-seven games and activities in Jolts! are interactive
and emotionally charged--carefully chosen for their ability to
make participants think, and think differently.
When you really need to give your participants a powerful
wake-up call, startle them into re-examining their assumptions and
habitual practices, or encourage self-reflection, problem solving,
and fresh perspectives--zap them with Jolts!
