1. …..anything from ‘Dad’s Army’ showing Mainwaring and Pike!….

   or

   ~the famous clip of John Nott being patronised by Sir Robin Day and thus walking out in a huff

   or

   ~Clive Anderson doing the same to the Bee Gees and them responding in kind

   Or a parent/parent example….Michael Caine on Parkinson explaining the origin of his mantra "use the difficulty"

   I hope these ideas help

   (sorry, I’ve just noticed that they are all exclusively male!)

2. Pocket Books

   How about buy some Pocket Books and send out as pre course reading.

   The actual course/event can be used to discuss what they read. You could use role play to check understanding and iron out any missinterpretations.

3. YouTube Videos

   Over the years I have pulled together a big collection of video clips which I use to illustrate different aspects of TA. Unfortunately it runs to a huge mount in terms of Disk Space and I don’t have the time to go back through YouTube hunting for all the original sources, but, here are some locations I have logged in my internet perambulations.

   The following set of TA videos is well worth looking at as a primer:

4. Overview

   "I’m not certain how the Pocket Books would work as they don’t have a publication that addresses TA as a subject on its own"

   From the original question it would seem that only an overview is needed and given the last minute nature of the request I am guessing the Managers are not expecting too much?

   Getting them to pre read a few pages of a pocket book (which also contains other useful information which will add value) is, in my opinion a good idea. Without any pre course work, just showing videos of behavioural styles would be a waste of time in my opinion.

   If the Managers see TA as being useful then they will no doubt attend a more formal TA type of training course.

5. Book Route

   If the book route is prefereable then I’d go for the following booklet:

   Transactional Analysis in Organisations

   By Keri Philips 

6. Pre Course Questionnaire

   While I’m thinking about this Diane I have a questionnaire that I’ve designed and used for exploring the Ego States, if you e mail me I can send it through to you and you could if you liked it employ it with this group?  – Just a thought. E mail me on gplatt(at)eef.org.uk if you would like a copy.

7. Agreed
   Agreed probably / possibly a better book.

8. WOW!

   Garry hadn’t got the time to put together a full list of references but…….look what he produced as a quick reply, unpaid!
