Being smart does not mean that you’re a good teacher… And most of us learn that the hard way.

In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack what transformational teaching actually requires beyond information, credentials, or sounding impressive. I reflect on my own evolution as an educator, the role of mistakes in learning, and why real teaching isn’t about avoiding discomfort but guiding people through it. We’ll talk motivation, competence, autonomy, and how nervous system science quietly shapes whether learning actually sticks.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

• What actually makes someone a “good” teacher and why it’s not mastery alone
• How mistakes, discomfort, and the cerebellum are essential to real learning
• Why motivation, autonomy, and competence matter more than content delivery

Whether you’re a movement teacher, clinician, parent, or anyone who teaches in any form, this episode invites you to reflect on how you teach, why you teach, and where you can grow next.
