Reviews

“With imagination and humor, these games help teams that are serious about their success. The facilitation notes begin where most games leave off, helping teams to make concrete connections between the game experience and ‘real life.’”
—Dr. Caela Farren, author, Who’s Running Your Career?

“When I am struggling to find a game to help a client to see something more clearly, I turn to Steve and Carol’s book. It is filled with great ideas. But, even more importantly, their games offer a springboard for my own creativity.”
—Rick Maurer, author, Why Don’t You Want What I Want?
