Comment on Richard Hamill's post: I had several I get it moments. As I looked at the various age groups and what would be happening in most peoples lives I can say I have traveled through those groups and changes.

Motivation is a driver yes but it is up to the instructor to read their students and know how to drive them as a group to one goal. While doing so can see who is who in the process and be able to motivate each student.

The ability to put forth the learned process of EI will bring success to not only you but also your students. It is not the process of controlling your emotion but being aware of your surroundings and body language of the individuals you are speaking to.

understand your students and adapt
