Complete handouts from the workshops of

Bill O'Hanlon

Welcome to Handout Land

This compilation of my handouts has evolved over the course of a number of years. When I first began giving workshops and seminars, I would often read on the feedback forms, "Wish there would have been handouts since there was so much information." So, I started making handouts. I guess I got a little carried away, though, as you can see with this book. Workshop sponsors started sweating a bit when I sent 25 or 30 pages of handouts (I was restraining myself-I wanted to send 50). So, to save trees and to make them available again after they have been out of print for some years, they are back, newly revised and compiled.

Years ago, someone came up to me at a workshop and declared, "You give good handout!" I hope you agree. I have endeavored to chock these pages full of useful information and summaries.

The work in this edition owes a great deal to my former assistant, Martha Geske, who died unexpectedly recently, and to my current assistant, Bianca Sivan. Work on previous editions was done by Mary Nathan and Steffanie O'Hanlon. Thanks to them all. I produce a great deal of original work, but organizing it and making these compilations is not my forte. Without their good work, this would very likely not exist.

Because I am committed to spreading these ideas, you have my permission to reproduce and of these handouts for colleagues, friends or clients. Please do not use them in any commercial (i.e., money-making) activities or products, though, and please keep my name and contact information on them when you share them.

Because this is an online version, we can make changes relatively easily. Please let us know about any corrections or suggestions that occur to you.
