From Accessing Your Ignorance to Accessing Your Love

"Ed had an amazingly minimalist teaching style. He did not give lengthy lectures. He never used a superfluous word. Ed the teacher inverted the relationship between learner and educator. Normally that relationship is based on the professor knowing things that the students don't, a learning structure in which the professor conveys information and insights through lectures, discussions, and readings. But in Ed's classes the relationship between learner and educator was based on what learners know without realizing it, a learning structure in which the educator coaches the learner on how to access those deeper layers of knowing. You cannot learn how to manage change unless you do it. That's how he opened his first class, putting the students into the driver's seat of change."
