Confession—
I’ve taught at private art
schools for 15+ years,
lectured all over the world,
produced over 1300
videos, run & attended
workshops, been
coached…
And, I still have a lot
to learn. This is all a work
in progress.
Reset:
Lectures are the most
efficient way to teach
and least effective
way to learn*.

Goal:
Transference of
knowledge by chunking
or “scaffolding towards
autonomy”, through
increasingly difficult &
complex challenges.

Rule 01:
Do less but better.
Don’t stuff your
workshop with
everything you know &
hope to teach*.

Rule 02:
Start at the end. Focus
on learning outcomes
and key takeaways.
Then work backwards
and edit judiciously.
