What can you teach?
Probably much more than you think.
I have up to now avoided teaching a certain course because I thought I did not know enough about it to be able to do so. And this even though a part of me has been pushing me in this direction for quite a long time.
A recent conversation with someone made me realise that I do actually know quite a lot about this topic, and in fact a lot more than I thought I did.
Thinking about this some more made me realise that it was the perfectionist voice which was telling me that I could not teach this or did not have enough experience to offer anyone.
The fact is that the right people (students) will always find the right teacher.
SO with this I want to encourage anyone else who might be thinking like me that they don't have anything or not enough to offer.
We ALL have something to offer and are actually doing ourselves and other a disservice by not offering what we have.
In order to face this head on and stop procrastinating I have set myself a goal to address this and go ahead and teach what it was I thought I could not next week.
Maybe you have been wanting to do a tutorial here and have held back because you thought you couldn't. Or you might have wanted to write a post for your site on a certain topic but were also held back because you thought it might not be interesting enough, or whatever else.
Just go ahead and DO IT! Don't wait, don't put it off, just do it.... strive for progress rather than perfectionism - perfecting it can come later!
Would love to hear about what you feel you CAN not "teach".
Warm greetings
