Grace is a 23yr old writer, and a very gifted one at that.

Grace sees value in telling others how she feels and also telling people why she communicates in a certain way or feels better when WE communicate with HER in a certain way.

How refreshingly simple…To tell others how you best receive and process information!

Surely this should be encouraged in education facilities from schools to colleges, to universities and further education beyond, right…?

I know I certainly appreciate it when MY learners tell ME how they best receive the information in my classroom and in fact the sessions I enjoy most are the learner lead, facilitation session that FEEL more like a group discussion

WHY?

Because there is far more going on than simply passing on information.

ANYONE can pass on information

ANYONE can show you an image or some text or read to you or play you a video..

BUT

Can you create an unforgettable experience ..?

Here are what I believe to be 2 of the key factors to delivering really great educational experiences;

Managing facilitation of discussions that remain inclusive and relevant to the aims and objectives of the session.

While doing so remaining confident in this style of ‘ad- lib’ teaching that doesn’t come in the lesson plan, isn't ‘prepared’ for in the reading the night before, wasn’t necessarily on the syllabus or the curriculum, but at THAT moment, for WHATEVER reason it has come up in a group discussion and the teacher recognises it as a ‘learning rich moment’ for development of those individuals present!

My own learning expands during MY teaching as I absorb information from my learners experiences, knowledge and expertise during those group discussions. Since I am in an industry where the people I teach are already qualified, insured, practicing and have loads of experience…

WHY WOULDN’T I LEARN FROM THEM TOO…!?

Anyway where was I?

Yes, Grace …..

Grace communicates really well how she feels and she does this to enable others to understand how she thinks, feels and communicates and she does this in a positive way for both parties, with a fantastic sprinkle of her humour too!

For YOU as a PT, exercise professional, fitness professional or therapist do you think understanding how to communicate with clients would be helpful too?

Obviously, right?

Yet it takes time to learn the best communication techniques for each person, the mediums and motivators that help them flourish and feel successful.

If YOU would like to learn how some others communicate please take a moment to read Grace’s blog and raise awareness that we..

DO NOT ALL give and receive information in the same way.
