Product Description
"Learning," Vicki Halsey writes, "is the gateway to optimal life experiences. Learning transforms people's lives, and teaching, in any forum, is the art and science of bringing out the brilliance that drives those transformations."
Or it should be. But what often happens is that people who teach—in classrooms, meetings, workshops, coaching sessions, or any other setting where learning happens—don't know how to transfer their great content to others effectively. They spend 70 percent of their time on what they are teaching and only 30 percent on how to teach it, when it should be the other way around.
Halsey is here to reverse that equation, laying out a comprehensive instructional design model that deeply engages and energizes learners because it focuses not on how smart they are but on how they are smart. She shows how to create content that is clear, relevant, easily absorbed, and readily retained because it is tailored to each participant's specific needs, abilities, and inclinations.
Halsey's six-step ENGAGE Model replaces the old "sit 'n' get" model with "woo 'n' do"—learners are actively drawn in and perform activities that reinforce the learning. She presents hundreds of proven ideas, strategies, and practices that will enable you to Energize learners at the beginning of any learning session; help them Navigate the new content and Generate personal meaning and relevance from it; Apply their learning to the real world; Gauge and celebrate their progress; and Extend their learning to action.
Brilliance by Design offers a systematic way to reach joyfully into the soul of learners and facilitate their brilliance so they can make a positive difference in the world.

By Richard W. Halsey
As a science educator for more than 30 years, I wish this book had come along when I was still in the classroom. In "Brilliance by Design," Vicki shares her most successful strategies to help bring out the brilliance in every learner, no matter what level they may be. By taking the focus off the teacher and placing it onto the learner, Vicki shows us that not only do we learn best by doing, but we become more confident human beings by doing so.
From the classroom teacher, to public speaker, to the corporate trainer, the key to successfully communicating with your audience (no matter the age) is by engagement. By rejecting the talking head approach to teaching, Vicki turns the average (and usually boring) presentation into a dynamic, inspiring one that motivates learners to learn more.
As I read this book, I continually said to myself, "I've got to try this." By using Vicki's techniques, I have found that her strategies increase not only retention and enjoyment in my students, but the enjoyment I feel for my own work as well.
Thanks Vicki for sharing more than 30 years of teaching experience with it. Your wisdom is priceless.

By EDUC8R
This book speaks to many levels of educators: teachers, presenters, managers, CEOs. It addresses the need to bring out the best in learners and provides concrete examples, and practical strategies to really let people shine! Dr. Halsey's voice is clear throughout the book as she coaches you toward becoming an engaging presenter. No more boring trainings and meetings, instead your audience will be active participants with a deeper level of learning.
The format of the book is easy to follow, with reflections, practices, templates, and useful examples. Brilliance By Design is a collection of best practices that can be read cover to cover, then referenced to polish and improve any presentation. It has proven to be a great inspiration to me, and has reinvigorated me to reconsider and energize my learners.
