Good, but for beginners

I thought the author touched on some good points, and that this will definitely be helpful for be facilitators. However, as a seasoned facilitator, I was a bit disappointed. I was going to gain some more things to add to my toolkit, but only left with the basics that most veteran facilitators know. I would recommend this to be facilitators and to those thinking about transitioning to a role that requires facilitation.

You'll include Tina's ideas in your next session!

Throughout The Art of Facilitation, Tina focuses on how you can be a more effective facilitator. She does this by presenting strategies and tactics that are easy to implement. Furthermore, she explains why each of these makes a difference. All the while, she reminds you that the ultimate goal of being a more effective facilitator is to provide greater experiences for the attendees so they can learn and ultimately remember what they learned. If you facilitate at any level, read this book now. You'll surely be including many of Tina's techniques in your next session.

excellent & entertaining

This book is an excellent and comprehensive overview of every detail one needs to master in order to deliver high quality & impactful presentations. The author is also delightful in her spoken delivery of the information, as she “walks the walk” to deliver the audio version with as much personality as she writes. The book is insightful as well as entertaining!
