Angie Heckman inquired about good training films, and
Richard Sobocinski suggested that John Cleese's training
videos were particularly good.
I second Richard on that. Although I cannot recall the
name of Cleese's production company, I do recall seeing
ads for his films appearing regularly in the Wall Street
Journal. Check 'em out.
============================
A few years ago when I worked as a training instructor we had
some catalogs that dealt specifically with training films and
videos. I can't recall the names of the companies but
someone on this list might be able to provide them. They
listed extensive titles for corporate training -- safety,
management techniques, sexual harrasment, all sorts of
subjects. John Cleese's tapes were featured prominently in
these catalogs.
