certain qualities that give these instructors
their X factor.
1

qualities that make participants flock
to their classes, even if they lack
other skills, knowledge or behaviours
• Passion, knowledge, awareness and
authenticity contribute to this ‘X
factor’, and of these passion is the
driving force
• X factor instructors have a winning
balance of entertainment and
education, attention seeking and
attention giving
• While innate in some, in others their
X factor may need to be uncovered
and nurtured.
Active ingredient X
Based on my experiences, and my
observations, I’ve come to the conclusion
that, despite initial elusiveness, there are
3 Awareness
Great instructors have a heightened level
of awareness. They are always observing
themselves and others, reading the room,
reading the body language, watching their
emotions and taking responsibility for
their actions. This awareness allows them
to know exactly where their motivation
comes from and give it permission to drive
their behaviours.
Passion
Passion needs no words. It shines through
any activity when it’s present. Have you ever
found anything hard to do when you were
passionate about it? Personally, when I’m
passionate about something, I put a lot of
thought into it, I never miss it and I want to
know everything about it. Instructors who
are passionate about their classes always
come prepared, rarely take time off and take
pride in delivering their amazing experiences
to others. It’s not just a job, it’s a privilege,
and an opportunity to live from the heart, a
place of satisfaction and joy.
4 Authenticity
X factor instructors believe and practice
what they preach. Nothing sells like
congruency and authenticity. People
can smell a fake a mile away. When
participants know they are getting the
real deal, it builds instant trust and longlasting loyalty.
In addition, these people are natural
teachers and natural performers; they
have that winning balance of entertainment
and education; of attention seeking and
attention giving. They can own the floor
while at the same time sharing it, a skill
many find challenging.
2 Knowledge
Despite knowing a lot about the programs
they deliver, passionate instructors never
stop learning. They are always observing,
open to formal and informal feedback
and keen to try out new ideas. They are
continually
seeking
self-improvement,
and passing this knowledge on to their
participants.
