1. I would like to apply accelerated learning techniques in my training company. Are you able to recommend any information whatsover on this topic?.(Self study course, Your experience, Books, Websites etc.)
2. I am also looking for a British not American book on Training games! Thanks.
Have you applied any games, icebreakers, exercises that have worked well?

might be of some use to you, but not as much as a healthy dose of sceptisism; not everyone feels comfortable with the ideas (I have used the principles), but when it works it works!

Hi Sandra,
Accelerated Learning covers a very wide range of topics so what exactly do you mean when you use this phrase?
I have a self-study course that is published by Nightingale Conant whichis by Brian Tracy (an American) and Colin Rose (a Brit). It covers many areas of accelerated learning and consists of 7 audio tapes and a workbook.
You could also try reading “Accelerated Learning” by Colin Rose, ISBN 0-905553-128.
If you want British training games, I suggest you contact Wessex Training http://www.wessextraining.co.uk and speak to Lorraine Gorman. If you explain to her what you want, you will find her very helpful (mention my name to her).
Have you considered designing your own games, icebreakers and exercises? I have done this many times when I could not find the right one. I’d be happy to discuss.
Regards,
Gary

Colin Rose’s Master It Faster books are extremely useful. I have been contacted by The Vision Matrix who offer something similar as a trainer training course.
I was a participant on a VM course and have never looked back. As far as I’m concerned they’ve opened up a new door for me.
Their telephone number is 01453 519219 and they offer a free no-obligation showcase to experience their techniques first-hand. Take this opportunity – it’s well worth it!
