Reviews

"Albrecht's breakthrough book is overflowing with remarkable insights and genuine good humor. No trainer, however experienced, should be without it. Buy it!"
--Dick Grote, Grote Consulting Corporation, and author, Discipline Without Punishment and The Complete Guide to Performance Appraisal

"Steve gets it. He knows the connection between enjoyment and learning and has, in this work, tackled ways to lighten up tough topics while making those tough topics relevant. Buy this book and never be afraid to teach tough stuff again."
-- Lenn Millbower, The Learnertainment Trainer, OffbeatTraining.com, and author, Show Biz Training

"Like the ‘high-content, high-delivery’ platform style he encourages, Steve Albrecht's new book delivers plenty of practical advice and usable material in his characteristic open and friendly voice. He's 'been there'--you can take his word for it!"
