On teaching BMTH: It brings up all my anxiety and nervousness about speaking in front of people. Better than Toastmasters. Once I settle down I’m just fine and I enjoy the interaction with the participants. That’s the best part. Also, I feel like I’m relearning BMTH, because I really have to know the points and describe them. No more, “they’re sort of here,” type of thing. Another challenge is making the words my own so I don’t sound like a robot, spewing back the memorization. Becoming an instructor is great for your brain. Really gives it a work out. I’m stepping beyond my normal modus operandi and it’s fun.
