Blair Singer delivers a short spoken monologue for YouTube arguing that well-intentioned teachers, leaders, and facilitators often disable people by giving answers rather than empowering them. He frames this as a common mistake and teases that Part 2 will offer the alternative approach that truly helps.
Over the years I've trained tens of thousands of people to be world class teachers, leaders, facilitators all over the world and one of the biggest mistakes that people make is the one I want to share with you right now and that is this. That people want to help people so badly is that they're not actually helping. If you're a teacher or leader facilitator you're actually disabling people. What do I mean by that? Well you want to help them so bad that you want to give them answers. You want to help them so bad because you think you know the answers. You also want to help them because you want them to know that you're smart and you want to feel feel the pride of being able to give answers. That is not how it's going to help. By doing that you're actually disabling them. Part 2 I'm going to tell you what to do instead of all of that that will make the biggest difference and transform people's lives be amazing.
