To celebrate the launch of our new shop, I would like to tell you about my favourite training book of all time. It is the Instant Trainer: Quick Tips on How to Teach Others What You Know, by C Leslie Charles and Chris Clarke-Epstein.

The Instant Trainer is the first book to show today's first-time trainers how to prepare, deliver, evaluate, and fine-tune presentations that will keep trainees riveted and leave them smarter and more capable. Designed to transform readers into skilled instructors in as little time as possible, no matter what size group or what kind of subject matter they address, it combines the Charles and Epstein's 35 years of training experience. Highlighted by a casual and informative question-and-answer format, The Instant Trainer offers a bounty of practical, easy-to-absorb tips, techniques, and strategies that help novice trainers deal with an extraordinary range of issues - from overcoming stage fright to energizing apathetic audiences to reaching diverse group members.

The book features checklists, sample forms, and lists of essential training resources, The Instant Trainer is so complete it even provides a coauthor hotline if readers have specific questions that are not answered in the book! Thorough, quick, and easy to read, this book is a rich resource of ideas, techniques, and practical tips on how to teach others what you know.

Although it is written for new trainers and busy, overloaded professionals with limited public speaking or teaching experience who are asked to share their expertise with others, there is plenty of advice relevant to the more experinenced trainer as well. The beauty of The Instant Trainer is that readers can consult the topic of their choice. It isn't necessary to read the whole book. The advice offered is quick, easy, and effective, and it's a fun read to boot!

You can find The Instant Trainer and many other excellent titles in the "Training Essentials" section of the UK Training News Training Shop.
