Guila Muir  

Learners often call these "the best workshop I ever attended." Schedule one for your staff!

speaking of bodies...

try this quiz! 

Quick!
Name ten parts of the human body which only have three letters each. (Hint: at least five parts are above the neck and five are below.)
 

Quiz yourself, then check the answers at right.

To pump up energy in your next training session, make this a competition between groups.
Get The Bodies Moving!
Great trainers keep their students active. But did you know that bodily movement itself increases learning?  Learn more.
 Thiagi's "1-2-3 Clap"
A HOOK YOU CAN USE MANY WAYS
Thiagi is an exciting educator and a "training guru" to many across the globe, including me. In this short video, he introduces a  simple activity with a profound message. Try it out!
 Conference Calls:
CALL IN, TUNE OUT
The New York Times reports that conference calls have become an "orgy of multitasking". Here's one example the paper cites:

"Dr. Halamka...uses his time on conference calls to sand and varnish the furniture, walk his dogs, get a haircut or tend to his llamas."

The solution? Use videoconferencing for a higher level of accountability. (But then there's the risk seeing your colleagues in their pajamas, brushing their teeth or playing with their cats!)
Answers to "Speaking of Bodies..."
Above the neck: Eye, Lip, Ear, Jaw, Gum, Lid, (as in eyelid).
Below the Neck: Leg, Arm, Toe, Hip, Rib.
