This book was incredibly timely for me - As a career communicator, I've recently been tasked with creating trainings and workshops for a culture change within my client's organization - which is new territory for me. As a change manager, I appreciated Eric's attention to workshop attendance- inviting those who may be resistant to the table and providing the tools to allow all participants in the workshop to be heard. As I think back to the successful and meaningful workshops I have attended, this book walked me through the details of what made those sessions so impactful. I'll be arming myself with these new skills as I continue to support my client.

I read ARC d the book and found it useful. I deliver seminars and workshops and wanted to read the book. For anyone who delivers workshops as a professional activity this book can be useful. Well structured approach on how to facilitate thinking during a workshop is the key to successful outcome.

Whole Mind Facilitation is a brilliant short and easy to read informative book for facilitators looking to gain insight and support for giving winning workshops. It's the best book I have read on the subject. I plan to use many of the helpful hints in my next set of workshops. Five stars.

I facilitate community meetings and reading this book was like breathing!
I especially loved the section that focuses on listening and found the W.A.I.T (why am I talking?) such a practical and helpful tip and I can't wait to use it in one of my meetings.
The structure of this book is both action oriented and thought oriented- so that balances out your reading and insights as you go along.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

This is a great resource for anyone looking to take their presentations to the next level. The author provided insight that is easy to utilize for anyone that has to lead and motivate a group of people.

This is the first book I've ever read on facilitation but I found it extremely helpful. I really liked the fact that the author gives a lot of very helpful information on what it is to facilitate, best practices, things to consider and prepare a client for, etc. There's a wealth of knowledge here that I could definitely see myself using in the not too distant future when I plan to run my own groups. I also really liked the author's writing style and the simple but effective graphics in the book. But if I had to choose one favourite feature of the book, it would be the appendix the author added at the end for facilitating meetings ONLINE since he said he wrote the book during the pandemic we are currently experiencing where people can't do in-person workshops. I think it was a remarkably good idea to include that as a lot of workshops today (even before the pandemic) are done online and it's really useful to have that information available. I am thankful to the publisher for allowing me to review a free copy of this book. I have given an honest opinion and highly recommend the book!
