For every hour in a classroom, a teacher / trainer / academic will spend much more than that outside the classroom; researching, thinking about the "journey" so far and the way forward, and making plans. I think that the t's do that also - and it's magnified because each client is a different experience entirely - different topics, different subject to work with who has unique needs / capabilities / challenges...

it's true they have probably heard it all, after a number of years, but that's to your benefit. And I really don't believe they can do this work well - effectively - without putting their hearts into it. my $0.02
this is for you ((((((((((((((((((((( chronic )))))))))))))))))))))))
