60 Second Lectures in 99 words
60 Second Lectures from the University of Pennsylvania reminded me of an creation of Sivasailam Thiagarajan (aka Thiagi) called 99 seconds. A group of presenters gave 99 second presentations. There was something for everyone attending the session. Handouts were available to ease the remembering.
You can learn what it takes to give a powerful presentation by attempting a 99 second event. Read more in Thiagi’s newletter and tips from ISPI Michigan. Jeff Thomas Cobb of Mission to Learn provides 6 presentation tips from the 60 second lectures.
PS Read one of Brian Remer’s 99 word articles. (like this post)

Out on a Limb - Instructors' Guide
The Out on a Limb - Instructors' Guide will walk you through the a series of conflict resolution presentations and exercises. It also has additional activities to be used in the classroom and home.
Designed for use with children, I thought the materials could be adapted for use in a training session for the workplace. The conflict resolution styles presented were easier to understand and in that way more useful than some of the more traditional materials usually used in conflict resolution.
