"Sue Walden's signature post-it system for mapping out and designing workshops is the perfect fit for the creative facilitator whose learning model includes using playful activities to enhance the learning of the group they're leading.  Sue's workshop is hands on – I created my program design right there and left with a workshop that's ready to go."
