One way to look at running a training class is besides you having something to teach every participant, there is also point of view that every participant has something to teach YOU. Here is some of the wisdom I have picked up from my students over the years - some re-quotes and some original
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, in practice there is a big difference
Every time you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else
Only perfect practice makes perfect
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast (AKA go slow to go fast)
You fail to plan, you plan to fail
Meetings are where minutes are taken, but hours are lost
There is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone
Change is inevitable - except from a taxi drive on a rainy day
Be yourself everyone else is taken
Less is more (more or less)
And the list grows every year, some older phrases drop out as others are added but each one can be used to emphasise a learning point, highlight the application of a skill, break tension
What would you add to the list?
