Teaching certainly matters, but it also demands strong abilities in developing curricula, assessing performance, and in making continual adjustments to achieve top results. There is also a very strong component of emotional coaching, whether it be building confidence or allaying fears. When it comes to the practice of training and development, my experiences here have been much richer and more demanding than anything I've done previously. Being a compulsive teacher probably doesn't hurt either.

It is doubtful I could have transitioned so easily into the next phase of my career if it wasn't for the polish and broad experience I received while performing my duties here. This is also where I decided teaching was pretty cool if you can do it well enough.
