Today, I was asked to teach a class on mind mapping and graphic recording. As many of you know, graphic recording or scribing is a part of what I do for a living, but I have never taught a class on the subject; much less to an audience of all Thai-speaking individuals. The thought actually made me nervous. (and sweaty!) But once Ame found out that this skill was in my little bag-o-tricks, there was no turning back, she insisted that I teach a class.Fifteen people, of all different ages and backgrounds, showed up for the class today. There was a graphic designer, a massage therapist, three students, a restaurant owner, an interior designer, a counselor, a secretary, a business owner, an actress, a pastor’s wife, a marketing executive, a retiree, and a make-up consultant. It was a full house. Tony, the gentleman who is in marketing, translated for me. It was awesome!!! I think it really sparked some interest and they asked a lot of great question. They would like for me to teach another class before I leave.
Did I mention I was nervous?!?
