Was introduced to him during a Coaching Certification course roughly 10 years ago, and could not remember his name :( I was listening to NPR Radio and they were covering a feature story on him. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have reconnected with this man. Ben Zander is simply brilliant. Thanks for sharing @Belinda_MSC
National Conference of School Leadership....you should look at this video and capture the names of all the people who were scowling through this video....I have been in education for over 30 years...and the negativity expressed on their faces reveal the problem with our education system today ( and back in 2011) such an powerful example of people who have lost their spark and should be thanked for their work, but moved out of the way so other passionate educators can work with children and people today....ugh!
It's extremely ironic that he denounces the "sage on the stage" teaching approach, while that's precisely what he uses for his own (effective) masterclasses. This is nonsense, as was the analogy comparing name changes to grade changes. Very disappointing.
I very much enjoy Benjamin Zander's masterclasses, but I disagree with his giving every student an A. That should be, as much as possible, an objective measurement of mastery. (But it does make sense to write a letter about what they need to do to achieve one.) Also, regarding the downward spiral and the idea that there's nowhere to go from an A but down, I would argue you should go from one A to the next A. I absolutely agree with framing things positively, but not to the extreme that we ignore reality.
I shared this 2 years ago today. Will do so again. Benjamin is one of the most inspiring people I have ever listened to. And he's so funny... I love his 'downward spirals'
I think it is an excellent question, and I have been thinking about it. Maybe it is not that pilots do not have to obey the rules. Maybe it is about how it is conveyed to them, I guess. If you ask them why they need to learn and abide by them - I believe that will make them understand and might work better (rather than approaching it with "you must"). Just brainstorming...
Does anyone have a reference to the original source of this video/ conference?

I so love Ben Zander and the concept of you cannot learn anything unless you make a mistake. "How fascinating!"
How fascinating
Provocative! An important message.
Beautiful and inspiring to all us educators and would be leaders...
That was fantastic!

The end of my troubles is now
I just realised that religion is a downward spiral. How fascinating! :-)
You must have a funny religion. Real religion lifts you up and inspires. It points to a magnificent transcending future of possibilities.
lol
What is the name of the song in the beginning??
I wonder how this would work out if he were giving flying lessons...just saying.
