Teaching is as much about attitude and approach as it is about content. Teachers in educational institutions are generally aware of the need to take into account learning styles and earn the trust and then the engagement of their students. Learning is also about attitude and approach, requiring humility, determination and a willingness to learn.

Educators, of any kind anywhere in life, also need to take into account learning styles and earn the trust and then the engagement of their listeners, their 'receivers'.

The roles can also often be interchangeable. Let's ensure that we adopt the right attitude and approach, whether we are required to teach or educate (give information), or learn (receive information).
