Press Release Body = Lisle, Illinois, May 28, 2007

Tim Buividas is a co-contributor to the recently published A to Z Guide to
Experiential Training and Development . This book was born out of a need to
differentiate experiential training and development services that in the right hands
can transform organizations. It offers an attempt to articulate the power, the
value, and the essence of this often-misunderstood arena of corporate training and
organizational development.

"It is wonderful to have a simple, fun guide to help people understand easily the
nature of the work we (in the industry) provide our organizational clients,"
remarked Jim Morris, Board President of the Experiential Training and Development
Alliance (ETDA) who published the Guide. "In a confusing, competitive marketplace,
this little book helps people understand the creative solutions to real business
problems that we uncover."

A combination back pocket tour guide complete with photos and maps, the book walks
readers through core elements of the work involved in experiential training and
development. For example, "T is for Transformation.experiential training can be a
catalyst for transformation. In order to do things differently, we have to see
things differently, and nothing assists people and groups to see things anew like
experiential training. The answer is not to fix a problem, but to transform it."
