As I reflect on the imaginative bridges that exist between interior design and teaching, one of the things that come to mind are the using different ceiling heights to make the room more interesting. As an instructor, I think it is important deliver your content in levels. Just as space with uniform ceiling heights can be monotonous, no one wants to listen to a presentation that all sounds the same. When providing instruction, you can enrich your delivery by interjecting humor, elevating your voice, soliciting audience participation. These are different methods of providing levels while teaching.
Additionally Susanka spoke about focusing your energy improving the rooms that you utilize the most. The bridge I draw to teaching, is that you should focus on the things that you set you apart as an instructor. I have seen trainers try to be funny, when that is just not their talent. It is important to decorate the room where your talent lives.
I like the comment that it is important to decorate the room where your talent lives. A lot of people do try to copy others to improve their delivery instead of allowing their own passions to shine through.
