Accelerating Performance: Powerful New Techniques to Develop People by Sunny Stout Rostron ($27.50)

In training there are two distinct camps emerging—those who cling doggedly to traditional training approaches and those who have thrown away the rule book and are assembling a personal toolkit of techniques drawn from a wide range of training options including storytelling, drama, music, accelerated leaning, NLP techniques, etc. This vital new book assesses each of the new techniques available and explains their use and impact. Clearly allowing anyone involved in performance improvement and staff development to develop their own blended learning toolkit—where a variety of techniques provide a flexible array of training solutions—the book offers both practical advice and detailed case studies showing each particular technique in use.
