I’m curious to hear a bit more details about the gap that this post filled for you – I’m guessing you knew the gist of all the things in #4 but there were some subtle, well, tacit bits you hadn’t connected.
Were there any particular paragraphs, or gestalt takeaways, that felt like the thing you were missing?
Ah, I think I wasn’t clear on this in my original response: I encountered your post before I started my degree, but I found I couldn’t fully implement your concept until I joined it with the two studies I outlined above. In other words, I wasn’t paying attention to my learner’s level, because it wasn’t something I had conceptualised yet.
Your article itself helped me realise that modelling the listener is essential to convey worthwhile information, and that you need to identify their “sticking points” (or cruxes, or grieving points; similar concepts) in order to make progress. Simply put, some people resist psychologically load-bearing updates, and it is important to identify why.
Where I was struggling was in fully applying your concept to my own life, thus my review including the piece of learning that helped me “unlock” the rest of the wisdom of your post (i.e., a/the sticking point might simply be that they aren’t able to engage at the level you are approaching them from). No doubt some people wouldn’t need my insight, but this review was for those that do or did, like me.
In other words, I actually didn’t know #4.
I hope that answers your question, let me know if not.

Gotcha, appreciate it.
