5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical, fun to read, easy to digest and apply,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Stupid Things Trainers Do To Sabotage Success (Paperback)
This is one of the wittiest books I've read about educating people. It is filled with humor and honest reasons why not to do so many of the things we often do. The authors clearly know what they are talking about. I especially liked stupid thing number 82; I have been "slideswiped" all too often. It's a great gift book.

Blank paper would be worth more,
By Rasmus (Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Stupid Things Trainers Do To Sabotage Success (Paperback)
This is THE WORST book I have ever bought. Wonder if the two 5-star reviewers know the writers? One of them say the book is easy to comprehend - yes - there is nothing to comprehend. And easy to apply - yes - theres nothing to apply either. A few stupid things:#17 Being clumsy: Basicly their adwise is - Don't be ;-) #100 Forgetting Your Glasses: One of their adwises - Have corrective eye surgery... Well they had to make it to 101 advices! My advice #1 on writing books - don't let form be more important than information. The book is stupid, useless, and not funny - AT ALL!!!

Meant for new or occasional trainers only,
By "software_instructor" (Gray, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Stupid Things Trainers Do To Sabotage Success (Paperback)
I was a little disappointed with this book. While it contains a few helpful reminders of what you should and shouldn't do, anyone who is a professional trainer (or a business professional with public speaking experience in general) won't find much new here. I can't say there isn't anything of value, becuase it does contain some good pointers on improving your visual aids, how not to overdo class interaction, etc. A good "reminder" checklist for folks just getting into public speaking & training.
