Some of the best coaches are teachers.

No, all of the best coaches are teachers.  And teachers know that everyone learns at their own pace. 

As a professor at USC I soon learned that students don’t care whether the next class is about the history of whatever.  They care when you engage them.

I had a professor in college, John Roberts, who used to do an opening monologue and made the class laugh.  By the end of the semester the class thought it had hijacked the professor, he made radio and television that much fun. 

But he later shared his secret in which he kept stimulating the discussion until students started asking questions about what he had already planned to teach.

At work, we give orders.

At home, we give commands.

The best way to get someone to win cooperation and get results is to change your mission and create in others the burning desire to learn.
