Train Smart: Perfect trainings every time (2nd
edition) primarily focuses on the use of the Impact Learning
techniques in the corporate environment. It covers some of the same
material in the "Impact Teaching" book using appropriate
adult examples, while also discussing other ideas and strategies
specifically related to training in the corporate market.
The Train Smart text is an invaluable
training manual for individuals who present workshops, seminars,
or other training programs. The title comes from asking the basic
question - What does it mean to train smarter, not harder? This
approach is so powerful and comprehensive that once you have a chance
to fully review it, you may never train the old way again. The book
includes a sample training schedule for creating new pieces, six
potent parables to consider using in your courses, and a checklist
to ensure high-quality presentations.

Impact Teaching: Ideas and strategies for teachers
to maximize student learning is a practical guide for educators
who want to maximize their effectiveness in the classroom. It stresses
the importance of teachers creating the maximum impact on their
students in the limited time they have available. It also covers

to have more impact on their students. It addresses the global picture,
including Crest of the Wave and Framing. It also focuses on smaller,
high priority details, such as Question-Detail-Question, Vocal Italics,
and Specify the Response. While broad in range, each idea is presented
through the use of practical, real-life examples, making it a user-friendly
text.
