Learn by Teaching

I remember a former law school professor once saying that the best way to learn something is to explain it to someone. Over the past several weeks I have seen this happen while preparing for a training I am conducting on Divorce Mediation this weekend in Oneonta. Not only am I learning a lot about child and spousal support, pensions and taxes, but I am learning a lot about myself and how much I enjoy being a peacemaker by helping people get through a difficult time. So I guess my former law professor was correct; teaching is a good way to learn.
