Rob, what makes your approach different?
Aug 16, 2025"Rob, what makes your approach different from other consultancy firms who just train educators to change the way they teach?"
I was asked this today. My answer?
We don't tell educators to change.
We influence their circumstances so they
want to change themselves — and feel equipped to do so.
Because learning isn’t something you deliver to people. It’s something that happens
between them.
For us, that means we stop focusing on top-down instructions and start creating the conditions for growth to emerge naturally.
🌱 Instead of forcing a rigid plan, we help teams build a shared vision. 🤝 Instead of just transferring knowledge, we foster genuine connection and collaboration (Relatedness).
💡 Instead of highlighting flaws, we build on existing strengths to grow confidence (Competence).
🚀 Instead of telling people what to do, we create space for them to take ownership (Autonomy).
And here’s the most important part:
This isn't just about how we support teachers. It's the exact same way we should be supporting our learners.
Stop asking: "Is this student motivated?" Start asking: "Have I created circumstances where motivation can flourish?"
A few minutes ago, I asked myself if I should put this on the allLearners.org website as a core belief. I decided to test it here first.
What do you think? Does this resonate?
