“We teach that which we most need to learn.” ~ David Bach
Some version of that quote has been used by leaders for as long as I can remember, and for good reason. While it’s wonderful when we learn something new, the best way to integrate new knowledge and make it stick in our lives is to teach it.
This is because teaching challenges us to really understand what we’re learning.
It challenges us to understand it with such clarity that we can effectively communicate it to others.
Teaching also exposes us to feedback from others, and that feedback is helpful (and sometimes even necessary) for us to understand something deeply enough to integrate it into our lives.
Those are just a few of the benefits you get by teaching something. Studies have shown that when you are first learning something, that if you teach it to somebody shortly thereafter, you’ll remember what you learn more effectively and understand it more thoroughly.
In fact, some teaching methods ~ ironically ~ require students to immediately turn around and teach others what they learn.
The beauty of this approach is that it doesn’t only deepen learning; it also creates more effective leaders in the world.
And it’s no mystery that one of my favorite aspects of teaching is that it’s a means by which I can work with you to co-create an increasingly more amazing world… one email, one video, one person, one step at a time.
So next time you want to learn a new skill, remember that one of the best things you can do is to try and teach it to somebody else.
And even if you don’t want to “teach” it, at the very least, discuss it candidly with somebody else to explore your new knowledge more deeply. Even the process of sharing what you know with somebody else will help you immensely.

P.S. On the topic of teaching, when Christy Whitman asked me to share with you about her “How to Become A Life Coach” video series, I agreed wholeheartedly.
Christy is a delightful person and teacher with what seems like an inexhaustible well of PASSION and excitement about how she helps people that it’s rather “infectious” (in a good way!).
I am inspired to share the “infection.” 🙂
If you want to know what I’m talking about, just watch these free videos from her – she’s definitely vibrating positive energy!

She’ll teach you all of the basics on how to become a life coach so that you can figure out if it’s something you also might want to do.
The thing is, becoming a life coach definitely isn’t for everybody, and Christy knows that. That’s why she’s giving away these complimentary videos to share with you what it takes to become a life coach, who it’s good for, and also who it’s not good for.
I had the chance to watch her videos last time she shared them and here’s a few questions to think about BEFORE you watch her videos…
- Do you want to realize your important personal, professional, and financial goals?
- Do you want to create a business where you are paid abundantly for helping others achieve their life goals and visions?
- Are you willing to commit to becoming a powerful leader so that you can inspire and empower others to achieve incredible success in their lives?
If you answered those questions and felt a flutter in your belly, warmth in your heart, or a tinge of excitement or adrenaline, then definitely watch Christy’s complimentary video series…
If the information she’s sharing is a good fit for you, it could change the rest of your life and the lives of those you care about.
