Dr. Verado:
Yes, adapting to situations based on an understanding of one's strengths and uniqueness’s can be quite useful in providing full and comprehensive service to our students.
What I’ve found is too many individuals are unwilling to be open to having their good and bad exposed, let alone using that information in an instructional manner to assist their students. I believe a key to getting someone to open up to themselves requires a degree of confidence in who they are, and a willingness to be humble in accepting less than wonderful insights they might discover.
