5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Meetings Moving!, August 29, 2004
By 
Annette Winston (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 101 Ways to Make Meetings Active: Surefire Ideas to Engage Your Group (Paperback)
This book is the best I have seen (and I've seen several) for a quick reference to meeting activities. Moreover, the activities are incredibly easy to understand and implement and are, in a word, fun! This is a great reference to have on any facilitator's desk, or for the person who leads meetings for his/her company.
