Program Directors/Instructors:
The following are some suggestions and tips that should be helpful to staff members who are trying to bring out the best in themselves and students thus improving their overall teaching performance. Go over each point with staff members .
Leadership skills and learning to guide others in a chosen direction can help to improve our overall organization as well as our personal relationships with others.
Read these tips and try to apply them to your Martial Arts training, enrollment procedures, teaching classes, as well as anywhere you see the need for their application.
Personal progress depends on you making a conscious choice for dramatic self improvement toward personal growth.
You choose where you want to go with your life. When you know where you are going, it is easier to guide others.
To be an effective leader, you must be able to motivate yourself and others. Your ability to motivate others rests on the stability and consistency of your own self-motivation.
To be good leaders, we must all be good followers as well. In Martial Arts we all have a Master Instructor, someone we respect.
It is necessary that we follow the proper and positive direction that the spirit of Martial Arts points us in: modesty, integrity, courtesy, perseverance, and indomitable spirit.
You must exude a positive image and show your leadership skills to be able to help others grow and improve. We do not do this for our own ego or status, we do it so others are offered positive and productive role models.
Students tend to live up to what is expected of you, and expect a lot of you. If you are expected to succeed and be a positive, goal-oriented person, you can and will become this person.
Last but not least, remember that every student is capable of growth. I hope to provide proper guidance to support our students desire and dedication to become what they dream of being.
Always keep positive in your thoughts of students growth . Be patient and realistic in your expectations of students, and always work toward achieving and accomplishing more from yourself and students you lead.
