Editor's Notes
- #2 Facilitator’s Notes: Of course, reading the actual book is most beneficial for this workshop presentation. BUT, it is not a necessity. The book is very short and might take an hour … at the most … to read. The book is available thru www.kenblanchard.com for about $20. New and gently used versions are also available thru www.amazon.com. Prices as of November 12, 1008 range from $13.57 (new) to $1.10 (used). In light of the budget situation, if you would like to borrow the book, please email me at lbelew@utk.edu. I will lend my copy out on a first-come-first serve basis. Regardless of whether or not you have read the book, you will want to read the first page of the handout. This page is entitled “Work That’s Fun, Gets Done: An Intro …” Ideally, you might copy this page for all of your participants so that they have some background on the story.
- #3 Facilitator’s Notes: After reviewing the information on this slide, have the participants complete page two of the handout. The handout is entitled “Play Starters”. It is designed to help encourage “fun” thinking among the participants.
- #4 Facilitator’s Notes: There are a number of ways to work thru this slide. Group discussion is one option. Another is to break the group into four subgroups and assign a question to each group. Have the subgroups to brainstorm responses to their respective question and jot these down on a flip chart.

- #11 Facilitator’s Notes: There are a number of ways to work thru this slide. One suggestion would be to have each group member jot down on a sheet of paper one GREAT idea that they could use. Wad the paper up and have a “snowball fight.” At the end of the “snowball fight,” each participant should have one “snowball.” Have each participant to read what is written aloud.
- #12 Facilitator’s Notes: The “Envision the Future” slides are simply designed for review. After reviewing these two slides, distribute the third handout entitled, “Envision an Ocean of Opportunities.” The purpose of the handout is to personalize this information and assist each participant in making a personal plan of action. Ask each person to complete this handout.
- #14 Facilitator’s Notes: These three questions are from the short-term, intermediate-term and long-term leadership indicators from 4-H Lifeskills.
