Teach

What you pass to others.

Masonry is taught a few sentences at a time, repeated until they live in the mind. Teach is the surface for the older brother's side of that work: preparing the next five-minute talk, prepping the next mentor session, naming the brother who'll carry your work after you.

You don't need a title to teach. A Brother who's two chapters ahead can prepare a pass-off; an officer brings a five-minute talk to stated meeting; a Past Master walks a candidate through the mentor-manual sections of his degree. The worksheets below are anonymous-friendly; they save to this browser so you can leave and come back.

Talks

Five-minute talk prep

Aristotle's published structure (ethos, pathos, logos) applied to a 5-minute Masonic Education talk. Pair with chapter 69 (Persuasion) and chapter 66 (Active Listening). A talk prepped to this template lands at about 4:30 — leave the buffer.

Mentor sessions

Prep a mentor session

The pre-session worksheet that keeps you off memory. Brother, topic, last session's carry-over, the key questions for this session, materials to bring, follow-ups to track. Pair with chapter 60 (Five Levels) on People Development.

Succession

Naming your successor

The published Law of Legacy (Maxwell 21): a leader's lasting value is measured by succession. Use this worksheet for each role or initiative you intend to outlast you. Pair with chapter 74 (Sustaining Change + Legacy).
