It seems like our school district is always reducing our training budget dollars. When our most recent budget allocated less than $50 dollars for training resources, I was worried that we would have to cancel our staff teambuilding workshop this year. Luckily a friend shared with me your Teambuilding with Index Cards book and I created all the resources I needed for almost no money at all. Now my boss thinks I am a teambuilding genius!
When my training department supervisor asked me for my equipment budget request for the year, I told her I only needed ten packs of index cards. Then I showed her a copy of the book Teambuilding with Index Cards. Now everyone in our department has a copy.
Our school may not have all the resources that bigger schools have, but we do have offi ce supplies! That resource and the book Teambuilding with Index Cards enabled me to teach some powerful lessons this past year.
I was pressed for time preparing for a last-minute teambuilding workshop. With no time to purchase teambuilding props, this book was a lifesaver. I just opened the pages, grabbed some markers and index cards and created everything I needed to keep a group of 23 participants engaged for two whole hours. Thanks Jim!
An entire teambuilding program in a deck of cards. Wonderful!
Once again Jim Cain has made the complicated and occasionally diffi cult challenge of facilitating teambuilding programs very simple indeed.
I spent an hour with your book today and created enough index card training activities to last an entire semester!
I was skeptical that index cards alone could be a valuable teambuilding resource, until I tried a few of the activities from your book. Not only are the props for these activities inexpensive and lightweight, but the activities themselves produce outstanding results with my audiences and workshop participants. I have become a true believer!
