I initially thought that my teaching style would end up being The Buddy, as I strive to make complicated topics fun. I realized that I am more of a Guide, and that reinforces my efforts to become a more effective instructor.

I appreciate that this covers how to manage adult students

Comment on Asho Ali's post: agreed!

Planning ahead helps keep everyone on task and learning from mistakes is important (making notes of those mistakes).

I must be proactive, document interactions with students and keep an open line of communication always.

Calmness is contagious 

I have learned that preparing for class the day before, by organizing the materials I will be presenting has been very helpful to the flow or momentum of the class.

The strategy's for dealing with inattentive/chatty and center stage students. Simply moving closer to them and assigning them an observer role. Good ideas I will implement.

I learned simply to listen first rather than get defensive when a confrontation with an angry student occurs.

I like the idea of eliminating, reducing, and coping with stress. The downside is that some people will be angry that you eliminated something that involves them. We should be cautious about this, but frankly sometimes people will not even consider you or put unreasonable expectations on you, so the issue is actually them.
