"Anyone who reads this book for personal reasons or adopts it for his or her school will soon discover the wealth of information it contains. Novice presenters and those seeking to improve their presentational workshop style will encounter such important, community-centered notions as those involved in converting one's 'mental frames' into 'common frames' that are inclusive of one's participants and their ways of understanding. I highly recommend this book for any practitioner."
"This book is thorough, informative, helpful, collegial, and supportive. It is to all trainers and presenters what they themselves strive to be to all their audiences. A 'must-have' and great guide for everyone involved in professional development, training or consulting."
"Throughout the book are a variety of exercises, tools, and tips for planning, designing, delivering, and evaluating workshops. This book can be a very useful resource for novice presenters and can even be of value to more experienced presenters."
"Walks readers through the process of designing successful workshops, whether they are first-time presenters who need lots of support or seasoned educators who would benefit from some fresh ideas."
"An excellent resource for both new and experienced presenters. Breaks presentations into manageable pieces, allowing the reader to thoroughly understand and reflect on what makes an effective workshop."
