Communication is vitally important as a teacher because it is through communication skills that a teacher can utilise a students belief system and life experience to better tailor teachings to the student. In today’s episode, discover the art of utilisation and how you can use it as a successful teaching method to better educate and evolve your tutoring, teaching and coaching business.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As a teacher you cannot focus on anything more vital than communications skills, it’s the conduit that all communication is delivered to your students. A more flexible and effective communicator will convince more people and get their message across more quickly.
  
  

All beliefs and all paradigms will fight tooth and nail for their survival. People are very resistant to change and as teachers, you must harness the power of their beliefs to help teach and overcome their defensive belief systems. Aim to turn them into a delivery system for your new ideas and proven and trusted teachings.

Always listen to your students as they will casually reversal overtime who they really are. Always ‘listen, listen and listen’ to discover whatever is in the student’s mind.

The role of a successful teacher is to remove ego and empty and inject all of your knowledge and information into your student through the right channel for them.
