Book Excerpt:

Lesson 44 - Find your Light Bulb Moment

 

Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking on how best to connect with people to get them excited and engaged, whether in a classroom, boardroom, or bored room.  I believe that if you show learners that you have a sincere stake in their futures, you have the ability to inspire them on a daily basis, and spark a “light bulb moment.”

For every presentation, I try to live up to my own expectations through an acronym:

 

Perry’s L. I. G. H. T.  B. U. L. B.  Moment for Teachers, Trainers, and Mentors

 L. isten to all learners

I. nspire them with real world discussions

G. ive hope to everyone

H. eap compliments on people for quality work

T. each to your strengths

B. e available at all times

U. nderstand that people may lack your life experience or knowledge

L. earn from your learners

B. e willing to walk in anyone’s shoes

           

Have you found your light bulb moment?
