Engage & Inspire: Engaging Exercises and Activities

About this book

Engage & Inspire: Engaging Exercises and Activities is the companion volume to Dr. Mandeep C Saini's audience-engagement playbook. Where the strategy book sets out the principles, this volume collects the exercises and activities that put principle into practice.

Each exercise is annotated with the minimum and maximum group sizes it works for, the time it needs, the kit required, and the kind of audience it suits. Pick one and run it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Should I read the strategy book first?

Helpful but not required. The exercises are designed to stand alone, with enough context that you can pick one and run it without reading the strategy volume first.

Are the exercises adaptable to different group sizes?

Yes. Each exercise is annotated with the minimum and maximum group sizes it works for, the time it takes, and what kit you need.

Can I use these in a corporate training context?

Yes. The exercises were developed in higher education but the mechanics transfer cleanly to corporate training, conference workshops, and team off-sites.
