Webinar: Daniel Pink on How Teachers Can ‘Sell’ More to
Students (October 23, 2013)
Daniel Pink reminds us that anyone trying to teach, persuade,
or convince another is “selling” a product. In this “Age of Information Parity,”
teachers need to develop the three new ABC’s of selling: Attunement (seeing
from another’s point of view), Buoyancy (staying afloat in a sea of rejection),
and Clarity (differentiating the meaning from the noise). He gives “quick,
cheap, and actionable” suggestions for increasing creativity in group dynamics
by decreasing the appearance of power of the leader and discusses the value of
falling near the middle of the extroversion--introversion scale to better
relate to others. He shows the consequences of relying on others to be
motivated to participate as opposed to the results obtained by eliminating
barriers to participation.
