That is such a great example, something I'll include in my next post related to teaching techniques and where/how to do it. I had the same conversation when I was white belt with a stripe. It applies to anything really - so I guess you are the master :) Marc Hey Enrique,

I couldn't agree with you more. Sometimes, you really do learn a lot by teaching a subject/concept to others. You definitely improve yourself in the process... .-= Ricardo Bueno´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.ribeeziemedia.com/twitter-for-real-estate-at-pwr/" rel="nofollow">Twitter For Real Estate at PWR</a> =-.

I studied an degree in engineering, after which I realised I didn't fully understand a great deal of what I'd learnt. Yes, I knew what I'd been taught, however my understanding fell short. It was only when I moved into teaching that I began to understand what I'd been taught. When I had to relay the information to others! When I realised what was happening, I adopted the same principle to my teaching and encouraged my learners to explain to the group what they were learning or had learnt. Outcome: Great results Regards Paul Marc, a great post with an equally great message.

One of the inherent messages in the post is that anyone can teach. We actually put beginning students into teaching roles very early in their training process. You can't learn it unless you start doing it right away, not something you want to start after training for 4 or 5 years and then going for your black belt. Your example with your daughter is an excellent one regarding the way we do it from a getting started perspective. I should have been more clear. Thanks for pointing this out. Ben – thanks.
