Adults teaching other adults. It's so different than teaching children. Children are fresh, always learning new things so being taught comes natural to them. Adults come with their own life experiences. They know their learning styles and they also may experience fear or resistance to learning new things.

Confidence coach and public speaking aficionado Amber Rose West sits down with yoga teacher Kim Richardson to discuss the skills needed to be an adult teacher to adult students.

*The conversation is heavily based around yoga, because Kim is a yoga teacher, however, many of the things we discuss can be useful for teachers in any field*

HIGHLIGHTS

• Creating spaces where people feel calm enough to be open when learning new things

• Becoming a teacher to represent others who resonate with you

• Making learning more accessible

• Adults often fall into the "I tried it once and didn't like it...so I'm never doing it again." How do we help adults embrace being students that explore?

• Learning something new will take practice and you should be able to practice your own way.

• Children have extreme courage when learning. How do we as teachers instill that courage in our adult students?

• When practice becomes performative, it drains you. How to do you shift away from being performative to genuinely practicing?

• Why do we shame ourselves or others for using supportive tools while we're learning?

• The best ways to create community around what you're learning

Teaching adults is different than teaching children. Children are learning things for the first time so teachers take their time, are slow during demonstration, and have more amounts of patience and compassion during their learning process. As adults, we sometimes lose the important parts of teaching that truly allow another to absorb and understand what is being taught to them.

If you're an adult teaching other adults, this episode is for you! Join public speaking aficionado and confidence coach Amber Rose West as she breaks down the best speaking techniques for adults teaching other adults.

The field of speaking coaching is missing a very important piece of the puzzle when it comes to giving you all the tools you need. As teachers, trainers, and coaches, you learn how to build class outlines, teach your students how to learn your curriculum, and even how to believe in themselves as learners. 

The missing piece of learning to be a great teacher and speaker isn’t how well you present yourself or how well you speak to other people. It’s actually - how well you speak to yourself. 

As a leader in your industry, your self-talk is just as important as your speaking voice. In this episode of the Vibrant Voice podcast, speaking aficionado and confidence coach Amber Rose West shows you why your self-talk is just as important as your speaking voice while you’re teaching classes, speaking at summits, and presenting important information to the people who are listening to you.

"I want to be more confident, but _________." That space is usually filled with a memory or experience from the past that makes you feel that building self-confidence at this stage in your life is impossible. Speaking your truth is a cornerstone of the work psychotherapist Shervon Laurice does at her practice Restore Tranquility. Past narratives can impact your ability to heal and live in the present.

Join confidence coach and speaking expert Amber Rose West and Shervon Laurice as they discuss the importance of creating self-confidence by releasing past narratives, leading with present-centered awareness, and listening to your intuition as you transition and heal through life.

HIGHLIGHTS

- The impact of 2020 and how people are healing from the pandemic.

- Your Inner Mentor can help you reconnect to your intuitive voice. Amber and Shervon share how they interact with their inner mentors.
