I'm so grateful for this talk. Thank you for sharing your stories & offering guidance! 🙏🏻🕊✨️

You are a teacher I enjoy so much learning from. It’s like you are teaching the joy of what you learned while you are teaching it to others. I was a teacher once, a French teacher. But my first experience at teaching was teaching English in Japan. And it was painful at times as I felt like an imposter teaching a language I had just learned myself. But I love communication, so teaching a language was fascinating to me, and teaching the language I know very well and love, French, made the experience of teaching so much more enjoyable. I don’t teach anymore but I do get to talk in front of a room full of people at my art gallery. One on one is also my favorite so I’ll try to practice speaking from experience as if the crowd was one person. Thanks for sharing your teaching experience.

As a teacher for 25 years, I could completely relate to this, and I feel lucky to have seen it only 11 minutes after it was posted. Thank you for this completely enjoyable food for thought!
