• Showing, not telling—The elephant is pretty smart. It’s not just going to take your word for it that something is important. It wants to SEE and FEEL the importance. This is one of the golden rules of fiction writing and movie-making: Avoid heavy-handed exposition, and use visuals, action, and dialogue instead.

• Constraint of time or resources—One indisputable way to raise the level of urgency is to create constraints. Give people time constraints or resource constraints and set them at a problem. Use caution here, however. Your learners will not appreciate having only five minutes to complete a 20-minute task. 15-18 minutes to complete a 20-minute task creates a sense of urgency. Five minutes to complete a 20-minute task creates pissed-off learners.
