(C)Ative: da aula AFE pro UAU!

With Erica's approach, I was able to better understand the points that were hindering the flow of teaching activities. She was able to present and explain why some materials weren't suitable and provided very didactic guidance on how to improve my materials without losing sight of my teaching objectives.

Giving presentations and training sessions has never been my strong point. I've always received feedback that I'm too concise and unclear in my explanations. I needed to design a training course for a multinational company that was involved in changing some processes, and I was having a lot of difficulty incorporating storytelling techniques and tools into a technical training course. Trinaxp taught me how to build the training in a way that would be dynamic and engage my audience, both during the presentation and in the process changes they would need to engage in later.

When I started the From Idea to Delivery mentoring program, I already had the course outline more or less ready and a lot of content to share, but for some reason, I was paralyzed. Erica helped us think carefully about the target audience and their needs, the overall objective, the objectives of each class, the organization, the interaction with students… and this gave me more confidence to structure the course from the ground up and even create panels that proved crucial for my preparation. Instead of feeling overwhelmed with so much to teach, I was able to move forward calmly and enjoyably, knowing where I wanted to go and the steps I needed to take. I understood that knowing how to teach is as valuable as having what to teach—and that's what made mentoring so important to me! Thank you, Erica!
