How Do I Build Upon My Existing Foundation in This Discipline?
Once you are committed to a discipline, meaning you have
already certified and are settled in your new pursuit, the challenge becomes
where to go from there. Certainly, this involves building your knowledge base
and skill-set so that you remain competitive and do not grow stagnant. And
though training is important, there are other measures and paths that could,
and even should, be taken. Teaching or presenting is one path we encourage.
Just about every one of our instructors will tell you the reason they teach,
besides loving it, is that it helps keep them sharp and at the top of their
game.
