And if the chemistry isn't right, its far harder to convince that person you're awesome in a such a short time. With teaching you have to convince that person that what you have to say is awesome, and how you're saying it is awesome, and that they are awesome, can be awesome, will be awesome...etc. <br />Thank you for your generous words Scott. I very much enjoyed convincing you that you and Improv are awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279739241770236328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038494672615794919.post-16556131415232328862012-11-09T13:42:12.870-08:002012-11-09T13:42:12.870-08:00I'm at a loss to explain how ANY student of yo...I'm at a loss to explain how ANY student of yours could fail to recognize what a great teacher you are, Domeka. I know a lot of good teachers in many fields, and I consider myself a good teacher in my field. But you are one of the GREAT ones. Not only are you a master of your art, you're also capable of sensing precisely what your students need in order to take their next steps toward mastery, and you deliver it with great clarity, exquisite timing, appropriate dosage, and wholehearted love. I consider myself lucky to have been your student.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129211901589007406noreply@blogger.com
