Myrna, Good introspective comment. I think being sincere, genuine versions of ourselves is very important. Trying to emulate another rarely works successfully. And while it's true some many have an innate, natural ability to relate a certain way, we have to remember we were all hired for our expertise, knowledge, experience, and bring our training, education , and workplace experience to the classroom setting. That's unique to each of us - none two are alike. Being natural, approachable, fair, consistent, confident,and displaying a good sense of humor are traits that will bring success to most any instructor. Yes, we can always try to improve, and should. But I don't think anyone should diminish the great attributes we all bring to the table. Barry Westling
