The three most recent uploads
A 15 seven minute video with Rebecca Norton which explores how to deliberately choose our peer groups, and how to get real value from them.
In less than 9 minutes I explain, with examples from my experiences, when and how to deliberately use each of four behaviours in any context.
An under seven minute video exploring why coaches or facilitators unhelpfully 'over-help'. This can have a serious and negative impact on learning value.
The eight most popular videos at my YouTube channel

What is the value of improving self awareness, and how can we do this?
