Discussion on: Why you learn when you teach

Would love you hear more about this. I love helping others get better. My company almost always has some short-term interns around that I would love to help out.

However, I never seem to connect with them so that they 'get' what I'm trying to tell them. Of course, it's almost always an informal setting, we need a task to be completed which I've done many times but they have never even seen the system they need to perform it in.

Tried talking with them and writing out a sequence of actions in steps. But always end up 'showing' as in, taking control of the pc and doing the task like I would do it. Which is somewhat awkward for both of us.

Being quite socially awkward myself probably doesn't help.

I'll certainly read up if you end up doing more of these pieces.

I'll write more :)

Your question pertains more to training than teaching, but I'll see what I can do.
