What’s it like to be a drive-by teacher?

Although he grew up in a home environment that was more out-patient clinic than family fortress, Steve Blank found his passion for technology blossomed in the military. He also discovered the value of volunteering and honed the skill of troubleshooting. Now, as a writer and teacher, he shares the principles underlying entrepreneurism. And one lesson he has is that starting a business requires a different skill set than working in one. It’s an act of creation, and needs to be viewed in those terms. For Steve Blank’s website click here.

What’s it like to have made learning fun?

Rewards can change the lives of everyone around you, of every species. Dogs, dolphins, elephants, employees, children and you all share in the willingness to trade behavior for rewards. Dolphins jump for fish, you go to work for money. Everyone is impacted by smiles, hugs and nodding your head. Karen Pryor suggests you learn how to thoughtfully use operant conditioning. These principles mean you don’t have to push anyone around, impress them or dominate them. And if you don’t learn these tools, you tend to fall back on being a primate. Check out Karen Pryor’s ClickerTraining site here.
