Steps 4 through 8 for teachers and trainers: stop being the expert, ask questions instead of telling, work with collaborators, and make lessons relevant. The speaker warns that boring delivery loses audiences and says teachers should be more excited than their learners.
Four. Yes, rather. You guys are trainers and speakers and leaders. Stop trying to be an expert. Those days are out. Nobody cares about an expert. Nobody cares what you did. They want to know what you could do now. So rather than being an expert, be a facilitator. A facilitator. Facilitate comes from the word facilitate means easy. So you draw lessons out of them. They'll find out that you're an expert. You don't have to tell them about it. Just get the brilliance of sitting in the room. Learn how to facilitate. Number five, Stop telling. Stop telling. The reason people go bored is do this, do that, do this, do this, don't do this, don't do that, which is kind of what I'm doing anyway right now. But rather than tell, ask, how do you feel about this? So right now, right now, do you feel some overwhelm? Do you feel excited about learning something new? Right now, do you feel like if I could just do two or three of the five or six things that Blair's talking about is gonna make a huge difference, and I'm excited to learn it. Now, if you said no to all those, quit teaching. Because you don't deserve to be a teacher. If you're not more excited about what you teach than the people that are coming to teach you, they're coming to learn from you. You have no business being in there. So allow. And I know you're excited about it. You wouldn't be watching this video still at this time. Okay, number six, why teach on your own? The old style, you go in a classroom, you're in the front of the room. You do it on your own. What's wrong with having a team? What's wrong with bringing other experts in? What's wrong with being. Bringing other people in that can ask questions and create exercises for people to do? Okay, now, I don't know how many I covered, but I think it's actually more than six. More than six? Yeah. Here's what I'm gonna say. I could go on and on and on, but if you want to know more, type in 20 mistakes. There's 20 mistakes you're already making, whether you're a trainer, teacher, coach, classroom teacher, whatever, and learn how to teach. You learn how to teach this on the camera becomes intuitive. It'll work. And whether you're bored, if you're boring, if the material is boring and you don't know how to do these six or seven things I know. I tell you how to do, people are going to hate it. They're going to. They're going to click off, they're not going to learn their lessons. And most of all, if you became a teacher, if I know teachers like I think I know you, you got into this thing because you really wanted to help and serve other people. You really wanted to help and serve other people. And if I'm right, just nod your head wherever you're at, you know I'm right. And now you have an opportunity to do it in the classroom. You didn't have the opportunity because the system was flawed from beginning with. It was not designed to really change people's lives. It was designed to get them into compliance and move them through in batches and prepare them for the workplace or whatever that what that was. I'm not going to get into that. But right now there's a window of opportunity for a teacher who wants to be a great teacher. If you're a public school teacher and you're frustrated, you don't like it, then maybe you should start teaching on your own. Maybe you should get a group of teachers together and start doing some other stuff online and get creative and we can show you how to do these things. Okay? So if you truly want to change people's lives, just apply two or three of the things I just mentioned. If you're a trainer and you use any of these things and you learn how to do it like the people in our tribe, you'll go viral. People will be, will be showing up for your webinar, showing up for what you want to do. I don't care how good your offers are. I don't know how good your material is. If you're a dog. Do, do boring people are not going to be paying attention. And that's a fact. Okay? And there's no excuse for doing it, okay? So if you want to be the best teacher leader, facilitator in the world, you know, then you're, and you're still listening to this again, say 20 mistakes. Type in 20 mistakes. I, I'll send you a whole piece on 20 more things that you can do or avoid doing. I tell you what you're doing that's not working and then what to do to avoid it. And it's already going to make a gigantic difference. And you go back to teaching for the reason that you wanted to, because you wanted to change people's lives. There's a lot of kids right now that just would love to have a teacher that inspired, would love to have a teacher that asked them questions, would love to have a teacher that made it relevant to them. Because you know what? Regardless what they say, kids want to learn, too. Adults want to learn, too. They just don't like school. And so they. And so if you could be something other than that. This. Remember what I said? This. If you're bad, magnifies the badness. If you're good, this magnifies the greatness. So be great. Be a great teacher. Be a great leader. Be a great facilitator. Thank you for listening to my rant. Again. If you want to copy the mistakes, type in mistakes and we'll get it to you, okay? Be amazing.
