Praise for Jolts!

"Only Thiagi and his co-author, Tracy, could have devised a list
of 50 magical learning moments that are concise and certain to JOLT
learners into new perspectives and profound insights. If you
facilitate group learning or change management, you won't want to
miss this one!"

--Elaine Biech, author of Business of Consulting and
Training for Dummies

"Give your training sessions a jump start with Jolt activities
in less than 5 minutes. These easy-to-use creative techniques help
learners gain instant insights. Not just session starters, this
collection is a valuable addition to any trainer's
bookshelf."

--Jean Barbazette, president, The Training Clinic, and
author of The Art of Great TrainingDelivery and Managing
the Training Function for Bottom-Line Results

"As a Charter Member of BFT (Borrow from Thiagi) Club, I've been
adapting Thiagi's training activities for decades. I have built
college courses and training workshops around Thiagi and Tracy's
jolts. Use the jolts from this book as a way to instantly and
successfully engage your participants with your topic."

--Steve Sugar, author of Games That Teach

Jolt|jolt|: a powerful training tool that will help you
engage your participants and focus attention on your learning
event.

Master trainer Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan and co-author
Tracy Tagliati introduce a brand-new set of powerful training
activities specially designed to get participants to sit-up,
listen, and learn--to jolt them into a new level of
participation, activity, and change.

The forty-seven games and activities in Jolts! are interactive
and emotionally charged--carefully chosen for their ability to
make participants think, and think differently.

When you really need to give your participants a powerful
wake-up call, startle them into re-examining their assumptions and
habitual practices, or encourage self-reflection, problem solving,
and fresh perspectives--zap them with Jolts!
