• RECALL: Memorize name, definition, and particular instance
• Recall information periodically, and ask audience to recall concepts during presentation
• UNDERSTAND: Explain relationships to other concepts
• Provide solid examples of efficiency mindsets being used in work
• Use similar concepts to illustrate success
• APPLY: Apply a concept in new situations
• Discuss examples of when efficiency mindset could come up at work, and how to deal with the situation
