Keen to Learn

For many years now, The InterFaith Food Shuttle (IFFS) in Raeligh NC has sent
staff to the public course Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach led by Karen Ridout. These staff, including the founder and Executive Director, Jill Bullard,
are engaged in teaching and training.
The IFFS has a training project called The Culinary Arts Training Program,
preparing young men and women to work in food preparation. I was at a recent
Culinary Arts Training graduation and spoke to one of the guests who is the
Director of a large catering service. He mentioned that he had hired three
graduates of this training program. I asked what he noticed about the
performance of those workers, whose teachers had consistently used Dialogue
Education™. Without hesitation, the Director said, “Those three stand out
because they are all conspicuously keen on learning.”
