Sam-Michel Cembalo explains what he finds difficult about being a consultant.
The difficulty lies in answering, always bearing in mind the idea of how I’m going to provide information in a way that will be a tool for the learner’s future learning. How am I going to strategically or tactically formulate what I’m saying so that it’s a tool for the learner and not just information? It’s easy to have the answers, but the difficult part is to have them and not say them, and you have to keep a constant eye on yourself – well, that’s my problem – I have to keep a constant eye on what I’m saying so that what I say can be used as a tool for further learning and not just as a tool for answering the question at the time.
