“But for the cohort that you have. find out what fascinates them, what will really get them going, because once they want to learn, once they are engaged and excited in whatever you are giving them, then to be honest you can’t stop them and they will be asking you for the skills they need to learn, for the particular knowledge that they need to gain in order to apply it to whatever situation you’ve given them.”
– Juliet Desailly
