Many years ago I was the Director of a Circus Arts program at a summer camp. My students, (the campers) were ages 9-16, and in teaching them more than 30 different circus arts, including ground acts, aerial acts, and flying trapeze, I also learned a great deal about how people learn, about both the science and art of learning theory, and how that knowledge really translates into learning in the real world. It has been my privilege to apply this knowledge to my professional life, and this unique perspective (I am reasonably certain no one else in this industry has the same background) has been invaluable when training clients on new procedures, systems or operations to benefit their facilities.
