My 3 Takeways:
Having participated in the program the number one ‘take away’ has been the exposure of not being able to effectively ‘teach the lesson’ at hand. I took the ‘step’ and realized my inadequacies to convey the material. This was an invaluable experience!

The second take away was revealing my strengths of being an effective motivator in a smaller group or with a one on one interaction. I realized that through my experiences and ‘story telling’ I can be a highly transformative force in impacting the life of the group/individual…both personally and professionally. I am more about the ‘big picture’ than the intricate details.

For the years I have been with you guys I realized how detailed and intricate Marty’s teaching is! Reaching that ‘bar’ would be a goal of mine if I was Kenny or Courtney’s age…or even younger. I don’t desire to do that. Yet, I discovered that I can bring an additional “flavor” to the vast information that Marty presents in the ‘fire hydrant’ method.

The ‘work’ from this program has changed my life P&P by creating a greater awareness of who ‘I am’ as a person…on and off the ‘ball field.’ I am laser focused when I am working…my mind and heart is going in so many pathways of protocols and procedures in a ‘controlled’ manner thus allowing me to sense what I am doing next…and nearly ten steps ahead. In my personal life I find myself being more detailed in my daily life. It has helped me to procrastinate less…although when I do I have learned to forgive my ‘self’ and move on…eventually getting ‘it’ done…as this for example! I also realize that the ‘more’ I learn the ‘less’ I appear to know! I like that!!!

I am in deep gratitude and appreciation for ALL you have done and continue to do for me…and also giving me the opportunity to give back. I know I say this all the time…but I must say it!

I went for coffee today at a local coffee shop spot in Red Bank…I held the door open for a guy exiting with a bucket of water…he was the owner. He said to me, ‘thanks…no I really mean it! THANKS! You’re a really special person…and don’t let anyone tell you differently! Have a great day…and THANKS again!’ One must have gratitude…and be humble…It’s what I receive when assisting you guys and the Docs at the seminars.”

Three takeaways from this program that I would share with others:
1. The value of learning how to teach, not just what to teach, understanding the process of creating, structuring, and delivering content.
2. The importance of being pushed outside of your comfort zone in order to grow, even when it feels uncomfortable or discouraging at times.
3. The realization that teaching isn’t just about knowledge, but about clarity, presence, and the ability to engage others.

At this time, I feel most aligned with assisting teachers, supporting students, and possibly stepping into recruitment or outreach with chiropractic colleges. In the future, I can see myself stepping into an assistant instructor role when the timing and my confidence align.

The program was excellent at teaching us how to teach and giving us tools to create presentations. For me personally, it didn’t build confidence as much as it revealed where I need more practice. In some ways, my confidence took a dip, but the knowledge I gained was invaluable. I also found the five-minute presentation format difficult, it felt challenging to develop meaningful content in such a short window. After talking with a classmate from previous courses she found ease with making a larger presentation and then took slides from it to make the smaller presentation. Perhaps a progression model building toward a 30 to 40-minute presentation with smaller steps along the way could help future participants.

“The three takeaways that I got from the program are:
1. I learned how to use PowerPoint and utilize PowerPoint, in order to teach Pediatric cranials to other chiropractors.
2. I learned how people learn, and how to reach different types of learners, for example, people who learn visually, or auditory or hands on.
3. I also learned from other Chiropractors who are also in the Train the Trainer program.

This program has impacted my life personally and professionally, by enabling me to really learn this material, because when you have to teach the material, you really learn how to master the material. It has impacted me personally, because it has upped my income, and so, I am able to better provide for my family. I am getting referrals from patients, lactation consultants, and speech therapists, doulas, and so on.

I have been studying with Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson since 2006, they are extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I look forward to continue to work with them in the future.”
