Inefficient Meetings ? Visitors Who Won't Leave
BNET is an online business network with many article resources from the BNET staff and readers. This week alone, I’ve received several timely articles and updates in my Inbox regarding successful-meeting planning complete with checklist ways to discourage distracting visitors and how to get out of a meeting in a seemingly legitimate way
Another previous article gave me information on how to actually annotate websites with free Scrapbook software that works with the Firefox browser (which alone may convince me to switch browsers) so you can highlight the information you want to refer to without having to cut and paste into Word And if you get “answering machine angst,” this site gives you information on how to re-record messages on cell phone and office voicemail systems

101 Movie Clips that Teach and Train
Using short clips from movies can relay learning points more dramatically and quickly than any lecture. This book will jumpstart your creativity for lesson planning or training design by providing you with the perfect movie clip for over 100 topics including discrimination, leadership, team building and sales. Each clip comes with cueing times, plot summary and scene context and cogent discussion questions. All topics are cross-referenced so you can easily find the perfect clip for your teaching or training needs. Click for sample using Little Miss Sunshine >>>>
Trainer Bingo Kits
Use Trainer Bingo to reinforce your training content. You’ll find it one of the most effective review techniques ever. Quick and easy to use and it can easily be customised to your own training content, or you can just use it as a fun way to let people unwind after an intense learning session.
The Facilitator or Presenter takes numbers out of an envelope one-by-one calls them out so participants can mark them off on their Bingo sheet and; build towards trying to be the first to get a row of crossed numbers and be the first to stand and yell Bingo! and win a fabulous prize.
Miraculously everyone yells bingo together.
When to Use it
Trainer Bingo! Is an ideal finale with a punch line like, “There are times when everyone is a winner and this is one of them?”
Also useful as an introduction to a planning session with a punch line like “With good planning anything is possible.”
Great to stimulate energy and awareness around the importance of understanding what your competitors are doing.
