A two-day seminar on the topic of ‘Executive E-mail Writing' for fifteen participants at one of the world's largest auditing companies. That's what I had been asked to deliver. Despite having plenty of experience, it was still a daunting challenge given the fact I hadn't walked into a training room to conduct a workshop or seminar in almost three years. It was time to put my trainer hat on and get back into the groove.

I am my mother’s keeper
Living my mother’s legacy in a world of good and evil.
In Blogs: Steve Schertzer - 2nd May 2010
I tried to look for a teaching position, but my heart just wasn't into it. I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't focus. I had lost my energy, my drive to succeed. I barely functioned at all.

EFL Teaching in Thailand (and elsewhere) part two
What’s the best and the worst class you’ve ever taught?
In Blogs: Tom Tuohy - 1st August 2009
As promised, here are some of the lighter moments that I have been privy to in my time as an ajarn in Thailand; a time that, give or take one or two visits elsewhere, has lasted about twelve years. To be honest, I don’t have to think that hard to come up with memories of my good classes as they spring to mind with relative ease.

What’s the best and the worst class you’ve ever taught?
In Blogs: Tom Tuohy - 1st July 2009
Having been teaching for more than twelve years in places like Japan, the UK, West Africa, Thailand and the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia, I guess you could say that I would have inevitably had a few moments when I was far from in control.
