Custom training materials made easy!

You will flawlessly design your own distinctive training materials with this practical, easy-reading handbook. Petit invites you into her remarkable book with encouraging words: You'll find that being extraordinary rather than ordinary is easier than you think! and If you make mistakes, consider them ordinary events on the road to extraordinary results. She's right. We guarantee that your results with this book will exceed any of your expectations.

Motivate your trainees with training materials that:


* Capture attention
* Highlight the important information
* Relate ideas logically...and much more!
You get checklists, you get exercises, you get models, games, samples, and references. Petit teaches the value of economical designs--Fill the learner, not the page, she writes--and simple words--Collect plain words and spAnd them wisely.

With irresistable verve, Petit introduces you to the 3 Ps of successful training materials:


* Preparation: Making sure the cover beckons; fostering a positive learning environment; offering incentives to learn; and guiding with clear instructions
* Presentation: Using appearance to aid comprehension; using friAndly, energetic, understandable words; arranging content for optimal learning; and using words creatively to reinforce, emphasize, enliven learning


Whether you're a novice or a seasoned professional, you'll appreciate the practical approach of this smart and charming reference. Grab your pen or pencil, open your mind, and GO!

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend Secrets to Enliven Learning!, February 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets to Enliven Learning: How to Develop Extraordinary Self-Directed Training Materials (Paperback)
Secrets to Enliven Learning by Ann Petit is the perfect handbook for anyone who wants to learn the basics of a specialized skill-developing training manuals. It's a simple, effective, well-written, and practical guide for new and experienced trainers.

Six months ago, I didn't know anything about how to train people. Then my manager asked me to write a training manual about new software used in my company. Someone recommended Secrets to Enliven Learning as a place to start. It made the basics of training very easy to understand and apply in my work, and I enjoyed reading it.

I patterned my manual on what I learned from Secrets to Enliven Learning. The training manual is finished, and has been used by about 50 trainees. They all liked it and learned what they needed to know to use the software in an effective way. My manager was pleased with what I accomplished, and I'm seriously considering a move into the field of training.

I highly recommend Secrets to Enliven Learning!
