I need to say that when he was describing surgeries it was rather disgusting. Great detail, but super gross. But besides that I really liked the article. I danced for 7 years, and one thing I learned from that is that you sometimes have no idea what you are doing wrong until someone tells you. My coach would tell me I was doing something wrong, and I would think 'Wait..really?' and then I would look in a mirror and see 'Wow, I am doing that wrong! I had no idea!' Throughout our lives we need people in our lives that are willing to critique us, and help us improve.
I think as an artist we have critics. To me it's a good thing. Not everyone will like my work and some may think we have enjoy my work. Critics help me to know what I can do or not do to make my work even better. I listen to opinions. I consider myself open minded and accept what people think or say about my work. I think artists learn that from an early age or early on in their art career. I know artists have apprentice at times to be a teacher and a helper. It was a interesting article.
I really thought that the idea of coaching was an accepted practice in most areas of study; i guess I was mistaken. I think that having someone observe the way you handle situations in the classroom. This feedback will help you succeed as a professional and become more effective. i like that the article pointed out that there is always something that you can improve on, and that you don't have to reach a plateau in your career.
I used to have a really hard time dealing with constructive criticism. I'd either cry or run away as fast as I could. As I grew older, I learned that constructive criticism is a necessary part of life. Nowadays I tell myself that I cannot get better unless people tell me how I can improve. I've experienced what it's like when no one tells me how to improve. It's quite stagnant.
This article was difficult for me to get into, then it seemed to end abruptly. I found the history of coaching to be interesting, as well as the less than reassured response of the client at the end of the article. why don't more doctors (and other professionals) have coaches? We all need outside observation from time to time, to inform us about our strengths to build on as well as our areas in need of improvement.
