Instructor Talk: Dealing with Expectations

This roundtable discussion is dedicated to all the Scent Work instructors out there. In this episode, we discuss dealing with expectations and how instructors can steal their own joy if they are not careful. This is a riveting conversation we are hoping will help all instructors realize they are not alone if they are struggling with self-doubt, second-guessing themselves or worried about stepping out to showcase their abilities. We have all been there! This conversation is only possible thanks to the incredibly talented Michelle Doram of White Collar K9, Michele Ellertson of The Dog's PACE, Michael McManus of Ready, Sit, Go and Khara Schuetzner of The Doggie Spot. It is wonderful they were all open to having this discussion, sharing their stories and making it okay to talk about these topics openly! Speakers: Dianna L.
