Review:

As more subject matter experts (SMEs) find themselves in the role of facilitator, there is an increasing demand for training professionals to prepare and support those SMEs. This book provides a very practical step-by-step guide to facilitation and the role of the facilitator, and contains a wide array of facilitation tips, tools, and techniques. The authors have created an easy-to-read and easy-to-use book with a sound basis in best practice, theory, and research --Darren Short, Curriculum Manager, Avanade Inc.

Productive operations require solid training. If you are considering using subject matter experts (SMEs) to expand your trainer base, this how-to book is a great resource. Detailed planning and workshops are provided for both the HR team establishing a trainer/facilitator program and the SME who will facilitate the learning. --Wendy Beam, VP Operations and Outsourcing, The Holland Group

This book is a treasure that should be in every learning professional's library. Facilitation Skills Training is a ready-to-use, how-to reference for applying adult learning principles. This book is a powerful road map that will help you lead subject matter experts from being just presenters of facts to being facilitators of learning. --Linda Dacus Parris, Training Division Manager, Servpro Industries, Inc.
