It is important to realize that we live our lives on all levels of the Hierarchy of Social Development.

“It may surprise students to know that the best teachers are masters at selling. The best teachers know how to begin every lesson with stimulation, which leads to motivation. Teachers are the greatest salespeople in the world.” –Emery Stoops, PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS, page 71.

Teachers generally demur when referring to anything about selling. Yet, as I clearly explain in my presentations, teachers market the information and skills that they want young people to hear—since learning cannot be forced.
