the only way to improve yourself

Improving communication skill is one of my goals. There is no easy way to get better. I could watch video, read book, talk to people who are good at it. However, the best way to sharpen my skills is simply doing it.

Today I was given a last minute assignment. I have to provide GIS training to my colleagues in two weeks. The training is preparing them for a GIS exam. I could say no but why would I? I always want to teach GIS after retirement. This would be an excellent public speaking and teaching opportunity. The only downside is kind of rush. It would mess up my original work plan but my boss said THIS IS the top priority.

I feel excited and privileged for this assignment. I will have a group of audience who have to listen to me if they want to pass the exam. It requires hard work from both parties.

You want to improve yourself? Just do the work.

Thanks for reading. Please click the clap button.
Day 253
