Free resources
You can also access a wide range of free resources, including my two very popular manuals for community engagement:
- Speaking Out for Your Community: Sarkissian SpeakOut Training Notes 2011_low small
Based on the SpeakOut book, this is the ultimate checklist for designing, planning and managing SpeakOuts and community workshops.

Based on years of experience, this manual grew out of our office training materials and provides specific guidance for facilitators, recorders and listeners in SpeakOuts and community meetings and workshops.
