Reviews
- 'This is truly a collection of resources
for holistically developing yourself and
those
around you, involving a development of
the mind the body and the spirit … What's
more important than developing ourselves
to be fully functioning human beings in all
aspects
of our lives? This resource provides a
very user-friendly pack of activities and
strategies
to help us on this very important lifelong
journey.' Arena, June 2001
- 'Companies with a limited training budget could
use 675 Ways to Develop Yourself and Your People
to help staff increase self-awareness, self-esteem,
skill and confidence.' Food Manufacture, August
2001
- 'This innovative and useful resource collection
offers information, advice and activities to
trainers and learners in a comprehensive and
practical learning manner … This resource
is packed with a wealth of information and advice
that takes it beyond a self-development manual
and is collectively a subject textbook, a training
course, a session planning and design aid, and
an activity resource. I feel it is of exceptional
value in view of the multiple uses it offers.'
Training Journal, September 2001
- 'an experienced trainer would be able to utilize
many of the activities effectively, in a whole
range of learning situations.' National Association
for Staff Development (NASD), January 2002
- '… a sound and extremely comprehensive
resource that should be seriously considered
by anyone interested in self-development or the
development of others within an organization.
It makes a valuable addition to my library and
one I have no hesitation in recommending.' Croner
Management Training Briefing, January 2002
