How teaching, speaking, and writing connect: Reflections ahead of SXSW EDU
Across every kind of classroom I’ve been in—high‑tech or low‑tech, rural or urban, here or abroad—the same pattern shows up. Teaching, speaking, and writing all draw on one shared muscle: guiding people through ideas with clarity and presence. Once you see that connection, the shift into writing or speaking stops feeling like a leap and starts feeling like a continuation of work you already know how to do.

In this week’s article, I’m sharing three signs your idea is more ready than you think — plus a gentle invitation to take the next step if you’re feeling that spark.
And if you’ll be at SXSW EDU, I’d love to meet with you during my mentor appointments to talk through your idea.
