When you teach, a meaningful turn of phrase makes all the difference. Learn how to develop the behaviors you need from other people, whether you're teaching a safety lesson to a young child or computer skills to a practiced professional.

Presented at Ignite NM 7 in Albuquerque, July 2010.
This comes with a VERY BIG grain of salt, considering the source, but a transcendental meditation instructor once told me that the subconscious mind doesn't parse negatives, so telling yourself "don't forget your house keys" is parsed as "forget your house keys", and makes it even more likely that you'll do it. Regardless of how true that is, I've found in general that instructions work better if they don't include a negative, both for instructing others and for making "mental notes" to myself.
