Quotes What somebody knows is not as important to me as what they can do. —Dr. Jeff Wiese Years ago, we were so focused on on knowledge. Now, getting the knowledge is pretty easy. The shift of becoming a great coach is moving towards … teaching people not what to think, but how to think. —Dr. Jeff Wiese The way you go from good to great is finding your weakest area and improving it. —Dr. Jeff Wiese Training is to prevent surprise. Education is to prepare for surprise. —James Carse Links: Teach Better podcast episode 27: Teaching Clinical Reasoning With Geoff Connors Dr. Wiese's Four Developmental Phases of a Teacher Recommendations: Bonni Book: Spare Parts: Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot, and the Battle for the American Dream* by Joshua Davis Jeff Book: Finite and Infinite Games* by James Carse Book: Strangers to Ourselves* by Timothy Wilson Book: Man’s Search for Meaning* by Viktor Frankl Are You Enjoying the Show?
