Consistently I have heard that Jayne is a ‘level up’ instructor with obvious empathy. She doesn’t interrupt to correct but gives people the space to think and try. She lets individuals decide if they want to answer rather than calling on people too often. These actions have created more safety and allow for risk taking. The class loves that Jayne brings interactive exercises to the class which the people I spoke with said is the most fun and valuable part. People are having fun while they learn and the time is flying by–to me, this is the best indicator.
