Find out why your students are here and make them declare their goals.

Gregi, I think the goal is to find out what motivates someone and give it to them. But its not just the motivation, its the delivery too. Some people need the drill seargent others need to be sweet talked; everyone else is in between.
Personally I don't mind the drill sargeant approach as long as its uniform among everyone and as long as there are rewards for performing above average. I prefer instructors with b@lls to the wall type personalities - but that's just me.
When you're instructing more than one person, you loose some teaching effectiveness because you can't be all things to all people.
