Has anyone delivered training based on the ‘Drop the Pink Elephant’ book by Bill McFarlan?

If so, I’d really appreciate some ideas for exercises to use with trainees.

Many thanks

Helen

  1. Re-phrasing

    I haven’t actually trained on the book, but from what I know about it……….how about a re-phrasing exercise? You give them a list of "bad" phrases that they (in groups or individually) re-phrase following the book’s suggestions/rules.

  2. Re-phrasing part 2

    To add to the above – you can also have them make up the "bad" phrases themselves, then come up with the proper phrasing.
