Do you want to teach??
Ok, I am going into my second leg of training for this month this week, the final leg will consist of 5 days in a row! Challenging and glad I have the opportunity to take on this challenge, cos not a lot of people have such an opportunity. To date, I have clocked 25 days of training and met more than 50 people already.
I like conducting training, cos firstly, I can meet with a lot of different people from all walks of life and it is complementing to my research job. Because we all know research job is a desk job, so you do not meet a lot of people at work, so conducting training gives some freshness and excitement to my working life. Secondly, because if you want to conduct training, you must be exposed to the questions that are asked, so your professional knowledge mustbe adequate or at least must be well-versed with your techniques of handling the questions so that you do not offend the trainees and let the trainees felt they have learnt something.
Thirdly, is it quite challenging and does test your mental toughness, especially handling 'difficult' trainees, that needs patience to teach them well. When you talk to the audiences, you have to capture their facial expression to check if they understand what you are saying, and also because people comes from all walks of life, you have to keep on thinking how to make what you are teaching easily understood and be able to help them to apply to their jobs. Because of this mental strength training, I would usually use the lunch break to catch 20 winks so that I am able to give my best for the later half of the training. Thus, I guess the side benefit is I am able to save lunch money, but the down side would be I would be extremely hungry by 3pm and have to cross my fingers that my rumbling stomach would not be louder than my voice. Maybe should get a personal assistant to help me buy lunch. Haha! :P
I guess I am built for this line, given the volume of my voice, the mental challenges and ,the professional knowledge I would gain before I conduct training for people, and I am not afraid of public speaking, well at least to a crowd less than 30. :D I think it would be more fun and challenging to conduct a talk for hundreds of people. The challenge would be capturing as much attention as possible because 300 audiences means 300 types of personalities and characters and it would difficult to find a common ground of attracting attention compare to a smaller group.
One of my dream is I to be able to spread appreciation of Chinese Culture, conducting seminars abt linking Ancient Chinese Military Strategies and Political Governance with Business Strategies and Management. So looking forward to speaking to crowds of hundreds or even thousands! :)
Well just some insights to those people who are comtemplating of becoming a speaker or a trainer. Hope it manages your expectation from this kind of job and all the best!
Cheers!
