Which Version: Features Compared
At the risk of confusing you, I decided to release TWO different versions of the book. I wanted to offer educators an option to go with a lower cost book that is easier to carry around, and a larger workbook version that contains the same text, but is augmented by exercises you can do, homework, and a few extra features.
The workbook is modeled after my seminars, in effect, a professional development experience "in a book". The downside is that because it's more expensive to produce, it has a higher selling price.
You don't need to buy both versions, since, again, the content and techniques and text are identical. To help you determine which format is best for you, below is a chart that explains the various features and differences.
If you have any questions, please feel free to fire them off to me via email at ceo@work911.com. Or phone at (613) 764-0241. Or use the comment form at the bottom of the page.
