This module was a practical reminder that the way I communicate and teach has to meet people where they learn best — not just where I prefer to teach. Learning that 40% of people are kinesthetic, 35% are visual, and 25% are auditory was eye-opening. It means that traditional lecture-heavy teaching actually misses the majority of learners, and even well-designed slide decks only reach about a third of the room. Going forward, I want to be more intentional about blending all three styles into how I lead meetings, train faculty, and support students at the Early College Center — showing, explaining, and letting people do. Self-awareness about my own style is the starting point, but real leadership means adapting so others can learn, grow, and contribute their best.
With Benevolence, Shannon
