“Observe everything, and steal shamelessly.”
As I was beginning my career, very early on, I was given this advice. Observe everything, and steal shamelessly. Observation and emulation are some of the most effective ways that we build our skills as instructors, facilitators, and designers.
When observing another instructor or colleague, watch what they are doing. If you like it and find it to be effective and successful, emulate their behavior and make it your own. If there is a game you like, an engaging story, or behavior that you find to be engaging and effective, steal it. Make it your own.
We all design, develop and deliver differently.
Share what you know, be at your best.
Observe everything, and steal shamelessly.
