Finished Teaching Class

Approximately five hours ago, I just finished teaching the course Art of Conversation at the Vancouver School Board. I still remember when I got my first teaching gig at the VSB, I was excited, and was using my conversation skills not only to meet people but to potentially change their life around. The possibilities were endless. To this day my first set of students were a lively bunch, they were animated, many of them young, some of them a little older, but it’s been fun so far. Since then I’ve taught a lot of my students simple things that they weren’t aware of.

The thing about being a Conversation Coach is that it’s my job to really push people to be better at not only what they talk about, but how to say things. Many people that take my class are shy, and down deep inside I know that if they continue to be shy they’ll be left in the background. Last time I checked there’s not a lot of soft spoken C- Level executives.

But now that this set of students has graduated from the course, I feel that many of them were able to get something out of it. I’m hoping that I continue to feel the joy of helping people out the way I did the first time I taught a class.  Truly I’m grateful to help people continue to have a better social lifestyle, personally and in their business.

I look forward to working with them again in the future. It’s always exciting!
