1. There are many different learning styles and having the skill to adapt to is an important part of teaching.
2. Creating a presentation road map helps to create a congruent presentation.
3. Creating real world application of a technique is a great way to encourage engagement with the audience.

I really enjoyed being a table assistant and helping with the actual practice of techniques. I feel I have more to learn (both in my understanding of the material and public speaking skills) before I would be ready to instruct in front of a classroom full of people. That being said, I enjoyed this course and really appreciated the challenge that it presented
and am looking forward to continuing to improve in these areas.

The program was good and a really good way to get out of my comfort zone. I think I would’ve liked the program to go a little deeper on presentation skills, but overall, I am really glad I participated and feel I gained a lot from the program.

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.”

“This program helps you own the material to bring it to others. It helps you reassess your approach to teaching. It gives many suggestions on teaching styles and how to teach multiple styles of learning.

I feel that it has helped me gain confidence in my ability.

This class has a gentle approach to nudging one forward. The workload is light, but the knowledge gained is huge!”
