Embarking on the journey of creating my Skillshare class was a profound experience that unfolded layers of insight into the dynamics of teaching, learning, and the reciprocity of knowledge.

The Work Behind the Scenes
Learning Never Ends:
Teaching isn't just about imparting knowledge; it's a perpetual cycle of learning. Creating my Skillshare class forced me to dive deeper into my own craft, rediscovering nuances I had overlooked. The process of teaching became a journey of self-discovery, reinforcing the idea that true mastery is an ongoing pursuit.
2. Clarity Breeds Mastery:
As I structured my class, I realized that clarity is the gateway to teaching. Breaking down complex concepts into digestible modules made teaching more effective & deepened my own understanding. Crafting a coherent narrative for students lit my path, emphasizing the importance of simplicity in teaching My systems & craft.
3. Letting Go of Perfectionism and Embracing Visibility
Getting visible starts with oneself being comfortable showing up. Letting go of perfectionism was a pivotal lesson. Embracing vulnerability and authenticity in my teachings created a more genuine connection with the the camera and the students.
It’s not about flawless delivery but about sharing the journey, & creating a relatable and inspiring learning environment.
4. The Work Behind the Scenes:
Everyone underestimates how much work goes into making videos and audiovisual content. This was my first time, and I had support, yet it felt like I got a mini accelerator master’s degree in video preproduction, production, and post-production. The intricacies of creating compelling content extend far beyond what meets the eye. there is great dedication required for a polished final product.
