I am a professor. Every day I have to interact with a lot of students who come from different backgrounds, countries and who are all very different and unique in their own way. I was good at teaching the subject but I lacked in developing an emotional connect with them. I knew that for a teacher to be really effective at teaching, he has to first develop a level of comfort with his students. Only then they will open up to you, ask you their difficulties and be honest about their problems. But I could not develop that connection with them at all. I had a lot of knowledge about my subject but I taught in a mechanical manner. I had to change myself. I had read a Landmark forum review and it had mentioned that the program brings about a lot of changes in you which are for the better. I visited the website http://www.rlang.com/ and enrolled for the program. It really works. I understood that a person who cannot relate to his own inner world can never relate to the outside world. I have to be at ease with myself. Only then positive signals will emanate from me and reach the other person. Positivist always attracts positive reactions from other people too. Practicing this helped me to understand my students and others better. It enriched my teaching and made me more confident.
