Change...via Rev. Fiene

I came across this great explanation about change on Rev. Fiene's blog, The High Mid Life and thought I'd share it with those who stumble into The Clem: The Blog: The Truth.

"Change then teach" works much better than "teach then change." If you want people to embrace the right practice, institute the right practice, then praise them for doing the right practice when you teach about said practice. If you try to teach them to abandon the bad practice while they're still practicing the bad practice, they won't think the bad practice is bad enough to stop practicing because you're still letting them practice it.
