When you’re teaching someone how to do something, what’s important is that they learn how to do it, not that they understood how you taught them. If you’re teaching someone how to ride a bike, it doesn’t matter that they gain a deep appreciation of your pedagogy. What matters is that they can ride a bike at the end of the lesson.
Unless, of course, you’re teaching someone how to teach.
If you’re teaching anything in the vein of leadership skills, training methods, public speaking, etc. – in other words, if you’re teaching people how to do the very thing you’re currently doing – then be transparent with your methods! Anything that’s working for you could work for them, and it may give your audience a deeper connection with your content as well as your methods.
What’s important isn’t just that they learn; it’s that they teach. It’s a unique case, but often an easy one. If you’re good at it, all you have to do is explain why.
