Videos tagged with Instructor Qualities

This video from Tenicor features an expert instructor who categorizes firearms instructors into two types: those who want to 'be somebody' (self-centered) and those who want to 'do something' (mission-driven and student-focused). The instructor emphasizes that a resume is less important than an instructor's ability to genuinely improve students' skills and their confidence in openly sharing their methodologies. He highlights his own unique contributions, such as the 'timing rule for in-fight weapons access' and training solutions for contact-distance engagements using Simunitions, addressing historical gaps in training.

This video outlines the three core traits of great teachers and instructors: who they are, what they communicate, and how they communicate. It emphasizes that 'who they are' (humility, strength, character, gravitas) is paramount and developed through experience. The 'what' requires mastery of the subject matter, and the 'how' involves effective communication techniques like eloquence, visual aids, and demonstration. The Warrior Poet Society is actively seeking instructors who embody these traits, particularly those with elite real-world backgrounds and exceptional communication skills.
