What are good resources or your tips to help improve my instructing skills?

I'm thinking of resources that may be either specific to aviation or just teaching in general (e.g., educational theory - but something better written than the Aviation Instructor's Handbook please!), such as books, podcasts, websites, videos, etc.

Thanks!

    I like all of Rod Machado’s stuff as he brings humor into the cockpit. I also love the Flight Instructor’s Manual by Bill Kershner. Even though the AIH is fairly dry, the concepts are very valid and you will deal with any number of different characters in your day-to-day flying with students.

    I really like a lot of the Instagram CFI’s out there, Lew Dix Aviation, SteveO the corporate pilot has good videos, etc., there’s another guy from AK that is great… you get to see their styles of teaching and how you can bring that into the cockpit next time!
